  1. Why is it that the people who create these videos feel some need to enhance the ‘excitement’ with the inclusion of some off-the-wall surf-rock soundtrack?
    It would have been far more interesting – and instructive – to hear what a storm like that naturally sounds like.

  2. I thought that it was a fun video and that the rock track captured the energy of the crew. From a practical point of view, capturing useful sound on a hand-held video camera in high winds is pretty close to impossible. It all comes out as white noise.
