Wow, that is an awesome animation! Like it a lot!

Very nice work!! Music fits and it has some nice artistic touch in camera movement as well!
I saw some white dots flickering a couple of times? Was that due youtube or is it in the individual frames? Looked like it could be postworked away easily?

Very nice! Just needs that subtle motion of tree branches in the wind for realism.

great

, something about rendertime?

Loved it

Very smooth realistic camera motions.
It looked a little dark to me?
I would like to see a better compressed one!

I think there are render errors

Very nice animation!
I like the lighting and the shots nearby trees. Also the last shot was very nice with that tilted camera, rows of grasses and great atmosphere

The artefacts are probably because of the lowish detail setting of 0.4.
For animations a detail setting of 0.6-0.7 is often desirable to avoid geometry popping, the artefact which you can see in this animation.
Further you have shadow flickering because of too low GI samples and too low GI blur.
Thing is, improving these will make it render lots longer

What are your machine specs?

Cheers,
Martin

I have never seen a landscape animation which did not have some sort of artifacting (new word?) in it.

I really like this, and downloaded a copy. Eye candy.

Looks very nice. A great sense of scale in many of the shots. Nice work. Indeed higher render settings would be preferable for getting rid of the artifacts. I wonder how long the render times would have been with 0.6 detail and AA6 or so...

I also wish there were less compression artifacts. Perhaps you can upload a higher quality version or try Vimeo?
