GL. WOW! I would shorten the first group of flying shots as it went on just a bit too long. Beautiful shots otherwise. Great bits the crabs and dogs too. Fantastic music choices! FUn fun fun.

Absolutely amazing! I think this is currently the best pod here. Very professional, what do you use to edit? Check out my sony commercial if you want sometime, maybe give a few tips.

This looks awesome in terms of production quality. A little bit on the long side, but the images and music makes it quite bearable. I think you'll be picked up and no time. GL.

Very good pictures and high productions values. It is however a bit long, you should look at cutting down some of the action bits.

Excellent photography, very good editing, good music and b-roll (I like the crabs and dogs). Definite GL. But, way too long (buy as much as a 1/3 or 1/2), at least for non-kite folks. Not enough story to hold audience attention for 7+ minutes.

Awesome! GL!

Thanks for the constructive comments, I'm shortening it now!

Yes, GL. Fantastic stuff. You've really got a great sense of style. I love the setup, the titles, the editing and the music. It all works. Although, I agree with some of the other comments about the length. Otherwise great stuff.

Any way, I'd appreciate it if you'd check out my pod, by clicking on the link. <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/28754972?s1=topVids&lis...

It's like seeing an adventure movie, excellent shots and obvious high production values. You've managed to make fantastic photography out somewhat bare elements. I don't see anything that needs polishing except the length as already pointed out in the comments. GL!

I think you accompllished what you wanted to I felt like it flowed very nicely the music and breaks fro the interviews all flowed well witht the video. Really nice defenition I liked your change of focus and really tight shooting on the shore. The dog section worked real well too.

anyway on a bit of a ramble.

check out ours "xtreme waste"

Yeah, very good. A bit long considering there's not much of a story. Either increase the story aspect or shorten the length (by about 2 min.)

A bit long, but entertaining.

True, a bit long, as others have said, but nicely shot. i love the opening shots, and the crabs!
GL...

Check out my Sony VCAM! Thanks...

Thanks for your comments. I've taken them on board and reduced the length from 7.20 down to 4.40 and I think it better for it....what are your thoughts?

I like this shorter version. As promised you have my GL. I loved those tracking shots close to the kiter.

So cool G/L
I was captivated the whole time. It looked so beautiful there.
Get it on Current, this is perfect for the upcoming summer list of things to do!!!

This is shot so beautifully! The images you got are amazing.

This is epic. You are an amazing shooter. BEAUTIFUL. GL!!

one of the best pods i've seen! EVER! beautiful shots! awesome awesome editing and titling! GL! GL! GL!

check out my Sony HD vcam sometime

Good stuff. Have been to Dakhla on my way driving to Gambia. What a great place to kite surf. Loved your pod. What did you shoot on? nice focus pulls and the bit with the dogs was great.

Glad you liked it. I was shooting with a Sony PD 170 from either up a step ladder, lying in the sand or precariously perched on the back of a jetski, to try and get different angles and capture more of the action.

Amazing cinematography. The music sets up a great tone and mood for the piece. Nicely done!

i relly liked this, goos shots of the boters and blend ov bacrawn track and vose overlay

It's beautiful but harsh there.Awsome

Very visually appealing. To be honest, watching it was pretty relaxing experience. I am pretty sure that this was not what you were going for but coming from an island in the Mediterranean that is the effect that it had on me. Simple but effective editing and very nice framing in your pictures. You have my GL ;) Oh and I checked out your website too. Good stuff. Hope you like my piece too. Cheers.

I'm glad you liked it. I really tried to create a sense of flow and pace so perhaps that's why you felt relaxed!

Excellent work. Beautiful footage.
Would love to see it aire.

This is a ver y well done piece. You are a true professional and artist. The shots were great, your editing on point, the audio was smooth, clarity amazing, AND far most important you have an interesting tale to tell = GL all the way.

Fantastic! Will you adopt me? Great visual style and use of music. Please make more.

Mat, you have a very professional look and feel to your work. I can tell that you took your time with this piece and it shows. I love the slow-mo action shots, the editing was clean were needed and swift on action. Your audio was appropriate and your text treatment for your introduction is well placed and designed. I liked the subject matter as well, very intense! GL!

When you have a chance, stop on by and check out my pod about <a href=" http://current.tv/watch/53816101.htm">Susan Cagle</a>, a young artist making her way from the NYC subways to record label status. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Wow. What kind of camera did you use? Excellent excellent. One of my new favorites. Flawless production. Thanks for checking out my stuff.

Freakin' sweeeeeeeeeeeet. I loved it...the opening credits were done really well. Just like Duncan asked...what kind of camera was this shot with?

Check out my pod on bike recycling.

Excellent use of editing and scenary..should definetly be played in eXtreme channel. The shot where the two dogs are following the riders along the beach and get closer and closer to the camera....BRILLIANT!

This is the best subject ever meets amazing DP/aesthetic. high five. top 3 favorite on current.

Thank you for commenting on my own <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/60193451">BOOM OF CAN ART</a> video. Your GREENLIGHT wasn't counted, so please come through and show your approval... I would love your approval.

I just left an approval for your video, too. Solid work; good editing. When you leave a "GreenLight" on my CAN ART video, can you leave any advice for me?.

Really enjoyed this- I know nothing about kiting but was hooked and intrigued to know more. Love the soundtrack, really complements the mood of the pod.

This is cool and it kept my attention the whole time. I love pods about action sports. Great job a definite GL

VERY well shot and edited. Excellent photography. I love action/sports videos, and I realize there's a time and place for more political stories, but I wish you had gotten more information from your characters about where they were: Western Sahara - a region of conflict that's been under an occupied force for almost 30 years... GL for the production value!
