“Martin it is brilliant, I liked the way it moved smoothly from one area to another, without lingering too long on unecessary filming, eg. eating and conversation. that of course taking into account the amount of editing which had to be done, though it.s a pity it was not an hour long, from my point of view.
No doubt you will have thoughts on that. Still it.s great, and having been ourselves to many of the areas filmed, even better.”
Derek Williams (my dad)Quote:Thanks for the DVD. I think that it is excellent – which says something coming from a one time student of the cinema – and still critical.Eric Spain

From Chris Caldwell:
Quote:Wild Hong Kong was inspirational, in fact, I’ve been to both Mai Po and Bride’s Pool over the week and was loving it. The only way it could have been better is if you and I had a mock fight scene at the TST Walk of Stars in front of Bruce Lee. The sequel maybe.From Sam Lee:
Hi Charlie,
Just finished watching your DVD, it’s nice and very informative. I like the parts introducing the Bluff Is. and MaiPo wetland. You look quite serioius in the video,should add more smile:)

Quote:loved the Hong Kong DVD, it was such a great idea to show the beautiful
natural side to such an incredible place!Email just in, from Au Cheong Hang, titled “Love the DVD”:
Quote:Hi I’ve heard about Explore Wild Hong Kong DVD from WWF HK email. Bought it, our family watched it and really appreciate the work. I’ve been to many of the places mentioned in the video, finally someone put them together to show to people some of the best samples of wilderness in here. Well done and thanks!I forwarded the email to Lew Young, director of Mai Po Nature Reserve, and he replied, including:
Quote:I’m not surprised that you’re getting good reviews. There is nothing else like it to promote the ‘wild’ side of HK and it’s a good DVD anyway. Its also selling very well in the WWF outletsVia google, just come across blog post (by Auch, who I figure is Au Cheong Hang, quoted above) advising:
Quote:Get this DVD now! … I’m very happy to see that there’re people who think Hong Kong’s wilderness worths a documentary film, and actually do the filming to publish it!Also just received email from Bill Butcher, to whom I’d sent a copy of the DVD; includes:
Quote:Thanks — safely received, with a beautifully produced pull-out.Another comment, here from Rosemary Bell, whom I’d taken on a birding trip:
Quote:I’ve just enjoyed the video. The photography was terrific and the activities and places chosen were varied and likely to appeal to many different people. I especially liked the birds (of course), the underwater scenes and the kayaking, but the scenery was great too. I recognised the bicycle shop and the fellow riding on one wheel (I am not quite sure what that trick is called), the waterfalls, Plover Cove and Luk Kang.
