A Must See "Movie" on Sanibel Island

This is not a gripe, but it is a reality.  We come to Sanibel, fall in love with its beaches and swimming. Bike through the nature preserve, gather shells, explore the shops and feast on the delicacies of the Island. 

We all know Sanibel is a very unique place, but it is often disappointing to see photos and videos on the Island.  Many are nice, but really don't capture the charms of the island.

And while the newest depiction of Sanibel is not really a "movie" it is so in depth with images so vivid, it does a very good job of illustrating the many, many joys of Sanibel.

The video quality is excellent, and portrays the diverse charms of Sanibel life in a way no single video we have viewed to date has been able to do.

We are taken on island over the beautiful causeway, seeing the emerald bay spill out on either side of this architectural wonder.  The narrator talks about the causeway as being the bridge between the magic of the island and the reality of life on the main land.  The aerial shots over the causeway are stunning and aerial shots are one remarkable thread through out the video.

The segue from the causeway to the island is the blending of nature and beauty.  Lovely shots of various birds bring the viewer into Ding Darling and aware of the wild life all over the island.  And the appetite is whet, not just with birds, but with discussions of foods available in the various restaurants.

And perhaps in the most stunning images of all, the discussion of the dark skies and starry nights is awesomely enhanced with night photography we simple folks would not be able to capture on our "ordinary" cameras.  The footage is , indeed, extraordinary with timed photography and almost special effects like scenery.

In just 9 minutes of video, the wide range of subjects covered is quite impressive.  Reaching out to nature is portrayed in engaging images and narrative by the director of the Sanibel Sea School.  Seeing tiny sea creatures held in young hands and watching the wonder on their faces is an innocent kind of love, and one we familiar with Sanibel know and appreciate.

And the upbeat music moves the video from first glimpse to last chord.

But don't take our word for it.  Take a look here and tell us what you think:
