It's amazing how much difference a steady camera and the absence of Nu-Metal makes. It actually makes things captivating. Anyone here who shoots video of the places they explore should probably watch this one at least half a dozen times.

This film shows how greatly captured images can still be as powerful without dialog, or music. Simply wonderful.

Not only is it powerful that way, but it's more so. Any sort of dialog or commentary would have been an unnecessary distraction. Visual comparison and juxtaposing speaks volumes, as does Lisa's Gerrard's voice.

I can't believe it was shot 15 years ago.

It was shot 15 years ago? Pretty impressive film. I agree with Micro, anybody who's into making films about exploring, take some notes on this one.

If you guys enjoyed Baraka, I would recommend Ron Fricke's other film Chronos, and the whole "Qatsi" trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Nagoyqatsi.

All visually stunning, lots of time-lapse, with some UE thrown in there. I absolutely LOVE these films.

I'm not sure about the other ones, but Baraka was shot on IMAX cameras, which certainly helps the quality of filming.

And, yeah, pretty much any single frame from that film would stand as an amazing still photograph in its own right. Pure brilliance.

yep.
