Excellent footage,. well done, you certainly get the best out of the XL2. Yes I agree a narration is required. Nicely edited too..

Lovely images, even without the narration I get a sense of the story. 

 

My subjective two pence would be; I'd be about 98% happy if I'd made that, but I would be thinking about spending just a little longer on some of early wide angles, the first one particularly to avoid the cut under the titles. If the pace felt a bit slow when you were cutting it - it won't once the narration is over them.

 

The end doesn't feel quite right to me... but I'm not sure what I'd do about it. Maybe try a beat longer on black and fade title music pre-vision? Or it might be that the vision cuts, but there seems to be short fade on the music? (unless that's just what bongos sound like?!) Freeze the closing monkey shot for a few frames and a quick fade? 

 

Just my opinion - feel free to disagree, vehemently.

Hi I am back again for some more advice. I am applying for a job and need a wildlife show reel. I have created this one but I think that i might be edited too fast? Also I am thinking of removing the foxglove timelapse sequence?

If you have time any critical feedback would be brilliant and then like with the trailer, I will make alterations.
