This video is sweet to watch because firstly the camera is like 5 inches from the lion; and secondly the guys are nigerian guys speaking broken english.

First they put a napkin near the cage

Then they actually put it inside the cage playing "tug of war" with the angry beast until...

But personally can you try this stunt they are trying?

Wow what a wonderful job this will certainly win in any short film competition.

my humble review/critique:
Nice opening titles, your co. logo hinted at the sci fi nature of the film but the next title was a more goofy font. U could change that to your co logo font,
Good sound like the v.o, barking dogs and the scrunching of the sand as he walked, good changes of angle and there's always something about great movies and cigarrettes ,
but the good stuff, the jam. gravy, cornflakes, chinese and suya is the amazing 3d generated Robot Invaders!(around 1.11) that was the real wow. Their aircraft blast the street into flames destroying cars and buildings. You have a great CG gift my friend

The explosions were a bit too close to him and should have thrown him leaving him dirty and bruised maybe from one side , or he could have taken cover . Color correction was a little off on him (too golden) when the fire was behind him.

Then when you think it;s over an amazing end sequence with some really cool 3d blueprint views of the robots

Of course all criticism is said standing on the shoulders of a giant i.e you.

I would like to meet you some day.

Nice i like the symbolism.What software did you use

Riding bicycles in the Jungle? Elephants in Ogun State?

This is Africa Show : We went to the the O.S.O Jungle Bicycle race in Ogun State. We were the only media coverage at this very interesting event. Imagine riding a bicycle through a forest , with the huge distances, the hills and valleys and everything.

That was interesting enough but when i interviewed Nicholas Wicks of Nigerian Conservation Foundation's partner Organisation Pro Nature he categorically informed me that there were herds of wild forest elephants sighted in the forest! This is less than an hours drive from Lagos!. Unfortunately he also lamented the rapid loss of the forest to logging and that was the reason for the event - to raise awareness about conservation issues in Nigeria.

Watch the video and also check out afrospiraltv on youtube :

Have you ever seen even an old black man playing football with area boys? It's unusual that's why i posted it.

I was at bar beach when i saw this old white guy playing "one touch" with some area boys. Very brave of him or what do you think? Watch the video

A horse is a beautiful creature so a festival rooted in them is just amazing.Unfortunately Sallah Durbar has been cancelled in Kano this year due to insecurity. I hope this does not happen again.

The Durbar festival is an annual festival celebrated in several cities of Nigeria. It is celebrated at the culmination of Muslim festivals Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It begins with prayers, followed by a parade of the Emir and his entourage on horses, accompanied by music players, and ending at the Emir's palace.

The Durbar festival dates back hundreds of years to the time when the Emirate in the north used horses in warfare. Durbar. During this period, each town, district, and nobility household was expected to contribute a regiment to the defense of the Emirate.Once or twice a year, the Emirate military chiefs invited the var­ious regiments for a Durbar (military parade) for the Emir and his chiefs.

During the parade, regiments would showcase their horsemanship, their preparedness for war, and their loyalty to the Emirate. Today, Durbar has become a festival celebrated in honor of vis­iting Heads of State and at the culmination of the two great Muslim festivals, Id-el Fitri (commemorating the end of the holy month of Ramadan) and Ide-el Kabir (commemorating Prophet Ibrahim sacrificing a ram instead of his son).

Of all the modern day Durbar festivals, Katsina Durbar is the most mag­nificent and spectacular. Id-el-Kabir, or Sallah Day, in Katsina begins with prayers out­side town, followed by processions of horsemen to the public square in front of the Emir’s palace, where each village group, district, and noble house take their assigned place. Last to arrive is the Emir and his splendid retinue; they take up their place in front of the palace to receive the jahi, or homage, of their subjects.

The festival begins with each group racing across the square at full gallop, swords glinting in the sun. They pass just few feet away from the Emir, then stop abruptly to salute him with raised swords.

The last and most fierce riders are the Emir’s household and reg­imental guards, the Dogari. After the celebrations, the Emir and his chiefs retire to the palace, and enjoyment of the occasion reigns. This fanfare is intensified by drumming, dancing and singing, with small bands of Fulanis performing shadi, a fasci­nating sideshow to behold.

As R.Rodriguez says u don't need to go to school to be a filmmaker just start introducing yourself as one. Well u guys got me, it IS an experiment....turned trailer. What are the particular flaws you noticed?

Many of us raised in the city do not actually see the processes that bring various foods to our table. This clip shows how palm oil is processed in Akwa Ibom - enjoy
