Helicopter Shadow across DeseretReview by Smiley, 2010-08-07
What a waste of time and money. Someone decided that Utah should be shown from a helicopter and they chose 40 min. to highlight the deseret showing the shadow of the helicopter. Very little on Bryce, Zion, and other very beautiful canyons. What they did show was a 1 min. overview from the helicopter and then on to the deseret again. The only part that was interesting was the skiing scenes and that was filmed by the ski company not the KUED TV station that did the rest.
Would love to return it but hopefully this review will save someone else the money and time.
We saw the one made for Idaho first-excellent in every way. So our expectations were high. Oops.
Disappointing
Review by Robert Ganser, 2010-02-08
Disc 1: 54 min. The video quality is mostly good but does have some color imbalances. There are some great shots of little seen areas from the air that makes this an unusual and interesting video in spots. But the photographer likes to shot down way too often from a low, fast moving helicopter for blurred, dizzying shots. 16 minutes are of towns. But the camera shows mostly streets rather than buildings. There are also a number of close shots on the ground of people engaged in various outdoor activities. Often only the people are shown excluding any background.
Disc 2: Over America, bonus disc. 79 min. The video quality and photography is much better. There are a lot of city shots, but unlike disc 1, buildings are shown, rather than streets.
The narration on both discs are best muted. Little information is given and it sounds like very sappy poetry written by the Chamber of Commerce. All information on locations are in subtitles.
