Oh wow Matthias and Ann :) that was such a great surprise! Very positive video to see these people doing something to protect these seals.
I have a "technical" question @Dima . Here https://videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXRVSWEQY1BY?start=2m55s did you put the sounds of that seal separately? When it was breathing? I've seen in many documentaries that they do the sound afterwards, even these little bits, and I think it makes it all more of a close-up experience. Because usually they film from afar and you cannot get a good sound of these creatures. And I love that effect of feeling the closeness of whatever nature they present. It makes it all so much better.
Anyway, I am very happy to see you continuing this work!
Never come close to the seals https://videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXRVSWEQY1BYAnother important video by @Dima . Support him if you can. His work is really inspiring and positive.

in reply to Tio • •Thank you Tio!
Yeah, I was staying at Matthias places for a few days while I was in Belgium. And he also invited Ann to join us when we went for the seals :)
So it's very weird, But I was surprised by this sound. The fact that it was so audible, although I was quite far away. No it's real sound :) Imagine that! I just lower a little bit background noise and raise a little-bit his sneezing snoring :) But even without a tweaks it was audible quite well. I have a small shotgun mic on my camera, and it works very good, but it turned out also for a long distance. I really was surprised by that, normally you wouldn't hear that without very long shotgun mic. And I was quite far away :)
But quite often in such videos it will be different sound which is put on top, because it's quite hard to record a video of a wildlife and also record proper sound of it. Especially in a distance.

Roma and Tio like this.

in reply to Dima • •Ahh ok. Interesting, that for sure must've been loud. Because I thought you added that effect after since you were quite far away from what I could see in the video.
Great job as usual!
