XapVision Nature Scenes DVD

As a nature lover, I was excited to try out the XapVision Nature Scenes DVD. It contains almost a full three hours of clear, well recorded nature scenes from all kinds of different locations. These include what look like they could be zoos, so not everything is in its natural habitat, but it isn't obvious from the shot. Each scene is under a minute long before it transitions to the next clip. I personally think some of the transitions looked a little tacky, like they were from a power point presentation, but none of them were bad. I think this would be the perfect DVD to play in waiting rooms, as the background music and noises are quiet and not obnoxious. And it really is entertaining to watch! My kids especially enjoyed trying to name all of the different animals and would discuss what they thought the animals were doing.One thing that was surprised me was how the DVD plays, which would also make it great for a business to use. The DVD is divided into eight different segments ND when you put the DVD in the player, it will automatically play the segments in random order unless you go to settings have have it do otherwise. Overall, we really enjoyed watching this, and will continue to use it in the future. We will most likely watch this when trying to keep a quiet atmosphere in the house, but also get some quiet entertainment, such as when children aren't feeling well.As a disclaimer, I received this product for a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

By way of full disclosure, I know the videographer, who has made some surgical procedure (rhinoplasty) educational videos for me. I have worked with many videographers over 38 year teaching career, and Lane Wyrick is exceptionally talented. His skill as a photographer and his editing ability, counterpoised to his diffidence, is extraordinary in my experience.Thus it does not surprise me at all that he could have created this DVD. The patience that it must have taken to assemble hundreds of unique natural scenes and to capture animals, plants, and insects at just the right times seems extraordinary to me: many of us don't have that temperament. The natural images, landscapes, seascapes, and sunsets and the way there are weaved together make a uniquely entertaining and inspiring three hours-- just moving images and their authentically beautiful sounds. I sat with my 11-year-old granddaughter to watch it for the first time and after five minutes, Samantha said, "I could watch this for three hours!"Lane Wyrick previously produced "A Friend Indeed:The Bill Sackter Story." It is not at all surprising to me that the insightful man that could have produced such a wonderful documentary displays his abilities once more in a magnificent tribute to our natural world, uncluttered by music or narration. Lane Wyrick has made another winner that children and adults will find calming and inspiring. Reconnect with your world.

This DVD included many nature scenes, but did not have the commentary or music that many nature DVDs have. It is a nice DVD that is relaxing and soothes the mind. Plus it basically is three hours of the great outdoors. I have anxiety and it really helped me relax after a long day of work. It does come with a QuickStart guide that does mention that the DVD footage is cut up into eight sections, the DVD automatically plays the eight sections in a random order. This makes it a sort of unique experience whenever you pop the DVD into the DVD player. I really recommend this for kids, I'm sure they will love it! I also would recommend this for anyone who is bedridden and wants to get a glimpse into the great outdoors.I recieved this product at a discount in exchange for my honest, fair and unbiased review.

Although my 3 year old daughter enjoyed pointing out the animals, the DVD was very amateur and overpriced. The film looks like it is full of homemade clips of someone's property....some horses running, new puppies, ducks on a pond, squirrels, etc. I have seen many wildlife films, and this is the most unimpressed I've been. I could have spent this money better elsewhere. I could have easily taken these videos myself and watched it for free. This DVD should be in the $1.00-$5.00 bin.

I got this to help my daughter sleep at night, but it's really stimulating. Lots of movement and the music is a little too peppy. This would be great for littles as background while they are playing or eating, but it's not very helpful for sleep and relaxation. Probably great for babies doing tummy time.

Purchased for family member with dementia. While saying she is not interested, she does watch it much longer than network TV, which annoys her. I find it has lovely scenes, and the puppies even catch my dog's attention. We keep it on most of the afternoon. Donated the first copy to a personal care home, then missed it and decided to get another

If you suffer from a lack of sleep due to a stressful workplace or living conditions, then run and get this dvd. You have several choices: animals, coral reef fish tank, spring flowers, summer breezes, autumn foliage and winter snow melts. The scenes are spectular and loop continuous on the scenes you like the best. There is no music, just natural sounds to accommpay the scenes.I await season/part 2. It put me to sleep and I love it.

I truly love the XapVision Nature Scenes DVD. I play it in my barber shop through the day while customers relax waiting there turn. The scenes are just marvelous. Beautifully done. It just puts you into another world. I know I'll be purchasing more DVD's.
