- Strong support Finally a video that is everything I've been saying our videos should be—properly edited, subtitled with a choice of languages (or no titles at all if the viewer wants that option), and with a music score that is appropriately licensed! I need to let Andrew Lih know about this ... we keep talking about videos like this every year at Wikimania, but we never actually see any to show and say, this is how we should do it. Daniel Case (talk) 19:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Addendum: One qualification on the above: I do wish the video's creator had decided not to take that shot with the camera on the tracks and the train running over it. I know it looks cool but it adds little to the video as far as understanding the subject goes. And while I do not know how Schweizerische Bundesbahn feels about this, I can't imagine they like people doing it as it can be potentially disruptive to smooth operations (i.e., how are you so sure that the train driver/engineer knows it's a camcorder/GoPro or whatever and won't think it's a bomb, and call security? And what happens when someone disguises their bomb as one of these things? Most railroads I know of here in the U.S. prohibit people from placing objects on the tracks (and that means anywhere on the tracks, on the ties/sleepers as much as on the rails); again I would imagine their Swiss counterparts would as well).
I know there are quite a few videos on YouTube shot this way all or in part; I have had to talk my son many times out of doing this himself, not least because I do not feel like replacing a camcorder that got smashed to flinders by the undercarriage of a passing train when that fate was perfectly avoidable. Footage like this should really only be taken with the railroad's knowledge and permission.
This is all the more glaring since the drone pilot filmed the train responsibly (as compared to this video). Daniel Case (talk) 21:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

- Strong support Awesome video. SDKmac (talk) 13:35, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support Hight EV, nice music, hight quality in general. It would have been excellent to watch the drone pass under the bridge and then give a much closer view of the train interspersed with a distant take. At the end when the train enters the mountain we lose the scene when it leaves the other end of the tunnel of the mountain. You could also have a take inside the train and another one of the drone looking out the train window while walking away. They are just ideas and not criticism, excellent work. You have all my respect, we hope to see more things like these. --The Photographer 15:13, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support When I first started watching, I forgot that the video player doesn't automatically select resolution (like YouTube, etc.), and was wondering how such low video quality received so much support. In that case, I felt like it may get FP on Wikipedia because the EV is very high, but wasn't so sure about here. Thankfully, I kept reading and saw the link to the full resolution version. :) Very very nice. I don't think it needed the shot from the tracks or the other perspective (it's sort of linear up to that point), but still an easy support. — Rhododendrites talk | 15:57, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
