This is great!
Might be a weird question but what tripod and head was used for this video? Looking for something for my canon 7d.

Very Nice Ashton ! It transformed me to actually being there… Nice stills used in the video. Simple and effective beat. Loved the scenery.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I’m middle aged and I shoot with a D90. Didn’t know what “WTF” meant. Saw Ashton’s new video and I said WTF is Ashton doing? OH! go Ashton
November 19th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Good evening, Ashton. Your video is an A+++++++ all around. Your framing, focusing, exposure, F-stops and shutter speed are right on.
November 19th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Your eye for film is as good in acting as it is behind the lense. This was always your first love photography.
November 19th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
not bad for an iwah boy ashton
November 19th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
The colors were so vibrant, catching the perfect pictures, beautiful work
November 20th, 2009 at 5:59 am
Ashton the video was great - the 3D shots were amazing - it’s like being there without taking the trip. Keep up the good work. Thanks
November 20th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I thought sensational! It was like you were right there.
November 20th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I ya ya,
cool
November 20th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Nice shots Ashton, especially love the 3D effect, but OMG, what a bunch of BUTT kissers giving comments on here. lol…good job!
November 21st, 2009 at 7:20 am
@lorez99 There are tutorials on how to make that 3D effect. Search on google
November 21st, 2009 at 7:20 am
Great video btw
November 21st, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Cool shots Ashton, wondering why Demi was not in video. Nevertheless, glad to see the Lion. Clearly you like cats.
Thanks, MN27
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:44 pm
SOOO COOL!!!! Really makes me want to go out and buy one of those camera’s (and go to Africa) Way to go Nikon (and Ashton
).
November 25th, 2009 at 9:57 am
my heart goes out to the children and families in africa.mother teresa and i worked on combined efforts together but i never got to go there
November 25th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Great video! I would love to go Africa to take pictures; it looks like a beautiful place. I have a D90, just got my wife a D5000.
November 30th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
I need to upload a video too!

Hey Ashton not bad!!! I was wondering what camera to get for pictures! I’m starting a independant christian film co. with Sony EX3 Thanks!
December 7th, 2009 at 9:50 am
I was literal transported to the place and enjoyed the scene, wonderful experience.

SORRY, However it is the subject matter that rules… AS MY MOTHER TOLD ME IF YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL

cool still shots must of been a fun trip
December 14th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
This video sucked…I went on a trip to Africa too. Not interesting at all.
December 14th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
I have been to Africa 19 times…this really does not reflect your soul you should have found…
December 15th, 2009 at 2:36 am
simple but great shots kool effects and beatiful pics thanks from Jimy Jahmay http://www.bigmouthslim.com
December 15th, 2009 at 10:54 am
admirable but less thrilling
December 15th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Your film makes me want to go to Africa even more than I did before. So beautifully edited and shot.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Amazing Ashton! I have Dream of Africa.. I had a Dream of meeting you.. Ironically you two came together in this one.. The Pics are beyond!
December 16th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
good loking, but so sad. Africa Africa is one of the places destroyed by the man
December 18th, 2009 at 2:20 am
Only two words can truly define Africa, Ashton Kutcher.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
The sunset ending really captures that all this was done in a day! Great video! Di Mansfield
December 19th, 2009 at 11:48 am
From my experience, it didn’t really capture the spirit of Africa — it was just a bunch of really great picture with a lot of 3D effects.
December 19th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
camera framing ++++
December 19th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Beautiful images!
December 20th, 2009 at 10:10 am
A four year old could have made this video, that is if they had the cash to fly to Africa. Apparently Ashton has that money, but that doesn’
December 20th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Honestly, this seemed half hearted and uninspired. Cool pics but nothing special.
December 21st, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Nice capture/presentation, the shots look static in transition while others feel like video clips in transition. More collage than story.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:33 pm
I didn’t like it very much, it was more pictures than video. And I agree it was cool but nothing special.
December 21st, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Excellent presentation and very unique style. Very creative and original! Super!!!
December 21st, 2009 at 11:12 pm
very cool and images and color very bold and dymanic!
Cheers!
December 21st, 2009 at 11:58 pm
prompts me to make the picture in Africa, I’d like to work with
you
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:24 am
Video was okay….i was in Africa last winter, and it inspired my memories which made me want to go back, but couldn’t tell emotions
December 22nd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
beautiful video… breathtaking
December 22nd, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Great shots but more like a slide show than a video.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I think I remember writing that song. Haha. Just kidding. Cool vid.
December 23rd, 2009 at 12:53 pm
was waiting the whole time for Ashton to punk a lion or somethin…
December 25th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Ashton, do you really need to enter a contest to win a free camera?
December 25th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
In case my last comment doesn’t fly… a very expensive slide show. Wes-cam shots, and some flashy editing. Lots of $$–little imagination
December 26th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Dude check out the CMOS jellywobble in that aerial view, that is what happens then shutter speed is too slow or no global shutter is not set
December 27th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Yea, I wasn’t a big fan of the slideshow feel of the video. Didn’t feel like it took much talent to put together. Cool subject matter tho.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:53 am
“NoKaOi” Maui’s Island Motto “Is The Best”.Love the cheetah & lion seemingly 3d-ish:nice elephant Duo, Beheld my thoughts… Mahalo
December 29th, 2009 at 10:38 am
I loved it. I really never wanted to go to Africa before but now, I do. Ashton has gotten me interested in photography.
January 4th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
excellent,colors are amazing,makes me feel as though
im right there and not in ohio. watch out for the headhunters man!! want to see more
January 7th, 2010 at 7:25 am
That’s not a video. That’s a slide show.
