Under the Sound

"Under the Sound" is an ingenious title for this video. I love how the video allows the young boy in the film, as well as the viewer of the film, to make the connection that "the sound" is not only noise, or lack of it; but also a body of water - Peugot Sound. I was intrigued by the title from the start and I wasn't disappointed. The video made its point beautifully and succinctly. "The Sound" is not an entity separate from our entire ecosystem. "Under the Sound" is both a "world" beneath the water and a world beneath "the sound" of what we humans can actually hear going on during our day. We often make distinctions between: city / forest / ocean / farmland / home / mountains, dessert...etc. This video removes the disconnect we often feel from our "natural" environment. Anything that can help bring humans together in thinking of our planet as our home and in thinking that we are all "one" is very powerful. This video does a great job in starting that thinking process. As icing on the cake - the photography is lovely and the film editing is nicely done. Great job.

"Under the Sound" is a fabulous piece. I can envision elementary school science teachers using this piece to educate and inspire students to do further study on the subject.

The quality of the video was a little "off" for me, but that mey be due to the computer I use. I had some trouble understanding the dialogue as the sound quality was poor on my computer.

The music adds a nice background to the video and is not at all distracting. Explanations of the eco system is right on point, and easily understood. Fascinating images and colors make for a most professiomal presentation.

Teachers will appreciate the care taken in presenting this material, and I suspect will ask for more teaching tools like ths.

Good job!!!
