Living Waterfalls

This is not a photographic essay of waterfalls, but rather animated clips of three waterfalls. Only the first, pictured on the cover art, actually shows flowing water; the other two are static drawings of waterfalls, with the animation limited to flocks of birds and the occasional fish in the pool beneath the falls.WHAT I LIKED:THE VIDEO MENU: By default each clip plays about five minutes, and the three cycle continually, but you can also choose to play only one clip continually.THE PICTURES THEMSELVES: In general superb, with photographic detail. My only quibble is that only the first shows running water.WHAT I DISLIKED:THE "NATURE SOUNDS" AUDIO TRACK: This blends the sound of a waterfall with jungle sounds; the same track is used for all three pictures. The sound of the jungle creatures was harsh and overbearing and nearly drowned out the murmur of the water; at one point the scream of a big cat actually made my dogs look up. I wish the developers had offered an additional audio menu choice of ONLY the sound of the waterfall.

I received this in excellent condition but the video looks computer generated just like the Living beaches dvd. I was expecting REAL waterfall footage. This isn't worth the money no matter how little you pay for it.

DISSAPOINTING!! Extremely fake looking effects and very repetitive- bought this DVD for our office waiting room tv, but too embarrassed by the poor quality of this video to even play for ourpatients.

Horrible video it is very poor CGI instead of real waterfalls And fake birds flying through every now and then. Huge disappointment

This is C G I. .........At its worst.

I expected the digital animation to be more life-like. I guess I've been spoiled by some of the beautiful aquarium programs. The menu is great. The images are lovely, but the nature sound track does not vary and the sounds of the waterfalls are almost secondary on the track.

Very nice and relaxing.

This DVD is totally hokey with digitally created waterfalls that look completely fake and the same goes for the phony flocks of birds and butterfly that dart across the screen. We had a good laugh then returned it.
