    You have shot and produced a gem of a Dartmoor video here. All of the segments work and are beautiful; the one with the mists in the valleys which ends in a thunderstorm is sublime. Perople who love Dartmoor will share a link to your channel I'm sure. To go onto mainstream media all that's required is some continuity between the segments.

    Not sure how I stumbled onto this video but I couldn't stop watching it. I live in California and this somewhat reminded me of the temperate rainforests in the pacific northwest of the US, minus the towering old growth redwood trees. You have a stunning landscape there, it's too bad so much of the forests have been cut down - just like our beloved redwood groves where only 5% remain. Thanks for the video.

    Dartmoor is possibly my most favourite area of England, I've been to a couple of it's small Ancient forest's but where is that vast, for today's standards, Valley Forest you portray at the beginning of this short film ?? We would love to walk around it and enjoy its history, peace and tranquility. We are devastating our land for profits and we need to start replenishing our land for the pleasure of our future generations, fast, but only as a united people can we realistically accomplish that task .

    Well done! This is a very good film, and you must have put in much time and effort here. Dartmoor is indeed a somewhat barren (and, as you say) very wet place. I have been fortunate enough not have lived there for a good many years. Your time-lapse clips give it drama and impact, and the brightly saturated colours lift what can be a very stark, and sometimes, rather gloomy, expanse. All shot on your Sony a7iii. !!! A great achievement indeed.

    The butterfly at 4:05 is worth its own video, its own entire scholarly discipline, its own era of history, its nomination as a god of men, its honor of nominal reference in the sacred anatomy of obstetrics, its regard of an international holiday celebrating universal peace, for which Kant so longed, when universal peace descends, finally, upon the Planet of High Holy Lepidoptera.
