Put a wireless down by the water to get that nat sound...I hear ya, have worked in TV news for 15 plus years...you get the yappers but sometimes that adds to the excitement as well..cuz ppl are crapping their pants over this and it adds to the element when you hear the "ohmigosh and wholy shit" and then the NAT sound of the rush of water. Thanks for responding :) What did you use to shoot this?

@babyruthbars No honestly thank you so much for the critique and advice. I am completely self taught and so I take any and all advice seriously.. Yes I definitely agree with you and in the future I will plan ahead on the audio end...

Haha I have no wireless audio things of any kind. I shot this with a Canon HV30 and a Nikon D-90

nice videography, NAT sound to give more impact..not a song

@babyruthbars Thanks! I agree with you that nat sound is the way to go in a video of this sort, but IMO it only works when everyone around you knows that that is what you are trying to achieve.. I went through all of these clips and the crowds of people talking overpowered almost all of them :(

@RayBay516 Haha yes that's why it was there! Its funny how many people noticed it and asked me on the street!

I enjoyed this - particularly the sped-up bits - would have liked to have heard some sounds of the flood too though.

@machinist212 Thanks! And no worries on the song part.. I had a really hard time choosing it myself :)

I was there and shot some tape but yours is amazing. You got some incredible footage and some great effects. But your music was distracting. Sorry Gretchen.

Love your video.
