Very nice work Dustin. Full frame looks so challenging for macro because of shallow depth of field but you did good. Great lighting. Great music.

Suggestions for improvement...

Use some straight cuts instead of cross-dissolving every single transition.

And move your copyright notice right out into the corner. It's distracting where it is. You'd still qualify for statutory damages under US copyright law if someone crops it out.

Also if you're using a royalty-free CC licence, make sure it's CC-BY and not CC-BY-ND, which doesn't cover syncing to music, or CC-BY-SA, which requires you to share your video under the same licence.

What did the stargazer eat?

There is no SDI out on the Z1 but there is component out via a proprietary plug. Is that of any relevance here?

I am curious how long does it really take many of you to edit and produce a clip from your long trips?  How many hrs over what time span????

Never really less than a day of work per minute of finished video, that requires colour correction and music. If it's a full-blown project with narration (and therefore research), it's probably more like a week of work per finished minute. My current project was shot over 9 days and has been in post-production for 6 years.

I have issues 

Thanks very much guys. Jim, that is incredibly helpful.

A few of those species in the .pdf can be ruled out on the basis of distribution. G. pindae can be ruled out for the ones where more than one upper central fang can be seen. Really the contenders seem to be G. herrei, G. pseudoherrei, G. monochrous and, for those that might have just one upper central fang, G. pindae.

As you say, unlikely to get a positive ID, especially without being able to see where the dorsal fin starts in relation to the gill opening, and the exact layout of the teeth. Plus the fact that 2 have mangled faces.
