Support OK, I'll give support to this video file even if this particular flight is restricted only to the outside of Mandelbulb.
In comparison, a video rejected just a few days ago because it gained only miserly 5 support votes was by far more impressive, as the flight ventured deep into the intricasies of the Mandelbox, swirling around within the ways and wends of this mathematical "swiss cheese". Just take another look at: File:A spectacular Mandelbox inside flight with music in 4K UHD 24022019.webm. My vote then was a "strong support".
Support It's so sad that we don't have enough contributors here to vote. Thank you for this video. Ahmad^talk 18:34, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per Rhododendrites. I would prefer the mud sputtering to continue for some 30-60 seconds to savour the well-framed impression of mud, steam, and bursting bubbles but I know that I am "old school" in this respect, as I love ultra-long film takes that last a whole minute or even far longer and thus give one a chance to look around at all the wayside details and slow movements one would otherwise miss (e.g. The Wall). -- Franz van Duns (talk) 12:56, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Clip of the famous "Bucket Fountain" at Beetham Plaza, Liverpool in operation. The buckets (or hoppers) are different sizes so they fill at different rates, and when full, overbalance and empty into the pool below. Decent technical quality, I think, no irritating passers-by in the background. Taken on a Canon EOS 1300d with 10 - 18mm wide angle lens and polarizing filter. -- Rodhullandemu (talk) 10:44, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. — Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 23:04, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support seems a good illustration of the subject, though I do kind of wish it cut a few seconds earlier (closer to the last recorded instance of a part tipping over) — Rhododendrites ^talk | 01:50, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support A nice vista with the main subject sporting a reduced colour range, mainly greys, a metallic sheen, watery reflections, and blues. OK, let's ignore the black-and-white coffee beaker sloshing around at the far edge of the pool. This video is just long enough to appropriately illustrate not only the mechanics of the system but also the continous rain of droplets dripping from each and every metal container. Could, for my liking, keep on for twice the length of time or even longer until the frontmost bucket tips its contents a second time, creating a nigh-infinite loop. I have a fond affection for fountains like this with complicated mobile components. In a broad sense they represent a kind of clockwork, only with a different driving force and not a steel spring. --Franz van Duns (talk) 12:39, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice video about hydraulics. Technically adequate. --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 08:55, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Not exactly shaky, but continuous and thus slightly disturbing camera movements. Subject, sadly, rather distant and not really exciting. I won't oppose, but "neutral" is the most I can reasonably award. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 15:08, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The framing is too large, unfortunately. This is just a normal video. A featured one would have shown the animal closer with a better zoom -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:11, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Looks good on my big screen. Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 23:08, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Per Franz van Duns, I don't think handheld shots works for FV, but it is engaging nonetheless. Rodhullandemu (talk) 23:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Nice animal, but for me, the unstable camera plus the small subject in the frame make this one a no-go. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 01:51, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 33 first seconds very good. The 16 last ones are of absolutely no interest in my opinion. You may choose to section the end with great gain -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:19, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ditto. Would support if the ending 16s were lost. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice caption of animal behaviour. --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 09:56, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I want to support, but it desperately needs a cut per Basile/Rodhullandemu. Ping me when it's done and I'll switch my vote. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:51, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bald white guy: It would be best for you to make the edit, but if you don't have the software this is easy enough for me to do if you like. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:52, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Rhododendrites: Thanks. Sorry - I'd been caught up with other things. I tried making the edit but was unable to upload as new version of same file due to filesize and having to go thru Video2Commons. I tried redirecting this nomination to the edited version, but I think might have just messed up the existing nomination and need to resubmit. Edit fades after the first dragon leaves. Leaving is consistent with behaviour IMHO as generally one of them needs to withdraw from the other's space. Bald white guy (talk) 06:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have been frustrated with that aspect of v2c, too. If you upload it as a different filename, perhaps Rodhullandemu could merge them afterwards (requires being an admin). You could also upload it separately and list it as an alternative in this nomination. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:34, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
