I also noticed this during the final stalk; thank you for confirming my fears.
I probably could have shortened things up by 10 - 20 second. The film quality on those rocks is quite good though, and the lichens are pretty cool, but I agree with you. This stuff could have been easily edited out, as there are a lot more ground shots that did not make the cut, but it did not really seem noticeable until it was uploaded to YouTube. Also, it is dificult matching up the music to where the shot takes place in a good spot musically, and vice versa.
Glad you liked it. Check out the others on the channel. "Legalizer" is not as big of a buck, but I actually find it more entertaining.
