It will have to be in written word as I didn't have the nerve to take pics of Mikey at that time.

Mikey, thanks for sharing the outstanding video with us. It's the first one of yours I've seen. I really enjoyed the rapid-motion video, like the morning preparation and the ferry unloading.

I'll have to check out the other vids on your website now!

Thanks John......If you ever have any ideas of something you would like to see as far as info/video/pictures that would help people seeking info about the Roo let me know.....I will be putting something about snorkeling in Akumal and would like to oget some video together of the Cenotes when we are down next.....(July) Then we are down for ten days in November.......Anyway thanks for taking the time to watch it I know it was a pain to load......

Mikey,

What a beautiful video...I liked the mix of collages, the sped up sections (I don't know the jargon for this), and the great images of places and people that make Playa so unique. As usual, you picked out the best music and it was amazing how you combined the beat to the changes in scenes. The section of the gentleman singing the song about having friends and friendship is so touching; he has a wonderful voice...made me a bit weepy. The shots of Erica in the white outfit are very elegant. I believe that you should start entering some film festivals. There is that category for short films...you would do quite well. Thank you for sharing this latest creation of yours.

Thanks Sol.....I am going in a different direction now.....I find video more interesting overall then photography......Will for sure keep my camera's in the bag though.....The man singing on the street at 12th and 5th was really great.....Look forward to filming him again with a light and a proper mic.....And also picking up one of his CD's......I know Craig and Pat picked one up.....I am sure they are enjoyng it......Thanks for the idea of the film shorts will try and put something together...... I just need to find a storyboard...Sometimes I lose my ideas that I try and keep in my head.....

OMG.... just watched your video Mikey.... jesus bloody shite it is AMAZING!!!! Your talent at taking photographs, shooting moving pictures is breathtaking. The subject matter, the timing, the music, the humour..... wow.... just wow. And as for Erica, my god woman, you are just so beautiful. Simply stunning.

Wow.

And, it takes me back that song you used. The "life" vid, with the getting ready and the people off the ferry walking in time with the music etc.... reminds me of the old Godley & Creme classics! Fantastic work Mikey, truly truly brilliant what you have produced here.

Mike:

Two words...simply awesome. You have set the standard way high for the rest of us my friend. The video of the guitar player really turned out well, we do enjoy his CD.

WOW!!!!!! Thanks guys, Erica, you are not only beautiful on the outside but I can with the peace on your face, beautiful on the inside as well. Brings back a ton of memories, especially in the morning watching the sun rise. I was out there every morning for 10 days enjoying the peace of the day.

What a sweet thing to say. We caught as many sunrises as we could.....truly a blissful vacation. I'll be going through the videos and photos in the next few days to add to our trip report and hopefully get it on the forum asap.
