DVD Reviews of Earthscapes
DVD Review: Earthscapes
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this DVD countless times on American Airlines trips, it is played while the boarding process goes on. This is so unique that I had to have a copy for my collection. I can only describe it as a moving mural with soothing music. Whenever I need to unwind after a tense day at the office, or on the road, this helps. It leaves me with a strange emotion where on one hand I feel so tiny and powerless in the universe, and at the same time I feel excited and joyful about simply being alive. Words like this don't come easy for me, but this is the reaction I have to these images. Thanks David Fortney! Well done!DVD Review: relax forever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found that Enya's "A Day Without Rain" album goes beautifully with this DVD.... make sure to turn the volume down on the television, the volume up on the stereo, Enya's on repeat (the entire album), and sync the video and the music to start as if you've already prepared and played both, pausing the album to start at the first track after stopping the video to press play at the same time (Miramar sequence should be seen first with the music) if anyone has any more great videos or music to share or would like to know other music/video combinations I've enjoyed, please write me..... thanksDVD Review: Pretty Pictures- Pretty Horrible Music
Summary: 2 Stars
This project feels like an attempt at a "Baraka" knockoff. Unfortunately it's a rather feeble attempt. Although a lot of the images are undeniably beautiful, they are frequently marred by poor editing: camera bumps, abrupt fade outs, digital noise in places and overuse of filter type effects which lend many scenes an odd artificiality ala "What Dreams May Come". Also as another reviewer points out, the snappy pace of the constantly scudding clouds is more like an MTV music video than a meditation on Nature's serene beauty. What really mars the whole experience is the incredibly insipid music by Suzanne Cianni and Patrick O'Hearn. I'm afraid it's New Age music at its worst (I don't hate all New Age stuf,f BTW) with banal melodies, shopworn chord progressions and unrelentingly cheesy synthesized textures guaranteed to kill off brain cells as you listen. Not recommended except in cases of recent brain surgery.
DVD Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd just been watching Chronos by Ron Fricke, which is excellent, then played this back to back. It just doesn't stand up. The images themselves are fine, but there are too many things that are wrong. The way the camera pans across the landscape is horrible, very mechanical, makes you feel like a robot. Then the editing is just plain bad, cuts happen with absolutely no feel for the music that is happening underneath.I managed to last thru the first five minutes and it was like someone scratching their nails down a chalkboard.

Description of Earthscapes
The visual equivalent of environmental sounds to soothe away those after-work tensions. Musically accompanied by the likes of Tangerine Dream, the superbly photographed, time-lapse footage of these pieces encapsulates the majesty of such locales as Monument Valley. Any fan of film Westerns, and John Ford Westerns in particular, will be thrilled with this portion of the disc, since Monument Valley has played such an indispensable part in American Westerns. You might be justified in suspecting this to be merely the filmed backdrop for a friendship card, or "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy." But the award-winning photography of David Fortney makes this truly breathtaking. Other places worthy of time-lapse footage include the Canadian Rockies, Niagara Falls, Lake Tahoe, Sierra Nevada Mountains, Death Valley, and the Nevada High Deserts. --Jim GayGeneral DVDs
