DVD Reviews of PlasmaScapes Vol 1
DVD Review: Fair quality - lacks variety
Summary: 3 Stars
Kudos for the fast shipping! I ordered on Friday and had it on Monday. The case and disk appear well produced and printed, although this is clearly a "burned" rather than a mastered disc - this might cause problems in older DVD players. This is "OK" camera work for an amateur. Unfortunately it's also obviously by an amatuer. It's very southern-Califorina centric, which is OK if you're like the desert. There are much prettier places to shoot ocean scenes. There's no variation in the lighting of most scenes - no "magic hour" lighting. If you're OK with all the ocean scenes being shot in the harsh light of noon, then you won't mind, but ocean scenes are prettier with some golden light. The aquarium scenes lack a lot. The shark tank is just too lame for words. The community tank is much better. But the shark tank footage should have gone in the bit-bucket. Same with the fractals. Why do they think zooming in and out is going to hold interest? Zooming a static fractal isn't animation. Especially fractals every 9 year old does with their first Mandelbrot set and the default color map. There are vibrant, dynamic ways to animate fractals, unfortunately they used none of them. The night scene of the LA skylight has too many technical issues to even go into. Don't bother unless you like a flat dimensionless image showing all too well the limits of consumer CCD imaging (they should have rented a good film camera and transferred the footage - along with choosing better camera positions/lens selections). That said, my dogs enjoy the scenes of the squirrells in the park, which was one of the reasons I bought it. The few non-California scenes tossed in were reasonably well thought out - unfortunately there were too few of them. Only one stream scene - more, especially with fades to different camera angles would have been much better. So, if Southern California desert beaches and tree-less hills at noon are your idea of beauty, you'll probably like this.
