Product description We set out to make the best aquarium DVD on the market by filming the finest fish tanks available. We did a lot of research on the current DVDs on the market and we found quite a few areas we could improve upon. Plasma Candy's The Aquarium DVD Vol. 1 sets itself apart from the competition by: 1.) Using a fixed shot to create the illusion that your TV is an Aquarium. (no panning or zooming unlike others that look like national geographic underwater moving footage). 2.). Playing the Dolby Digital Sound of an actual aquarium (no cheap royalty free ambient music)! 3.) Ensuring each tank is up to our highest standard. (no bad bonus tracks that we just added to pad the number of tanks). 4.) Making the DVD Fullscreen so both widescreen and standard sized TVs can view it without annoying black bars. 5.) Filming so the fish are represented in their actual life size. (others look like monster fish on larger TVs) 6.) Making it easy and fast to play. Put it in your DVD player and the menu pops up immediately ready for you to enjoy. (no annoying 5 minute branding intros or FBI Copyright Warnings) 7.) Using real life fish! (not computer animated fish like some others). 8.) Featuring aquariums with incredible reef and live plant backgrounds. (not just standard boring pet store holding tanks). Shot in HD Plasma Candy's Aquarium DVD Vol. 1 was shot using a high powered HD (High Def) camera, however like all the non-BlueRay DVDs out there, the quality will be just slightly better than a standard DVD. (We just don't want to mislead you by saying "shot in HD" like all the other companies without explaining that fact.) You're sure to enjoy the 5 elegant fish tanks (2 freshwater & 3 saltwater) included on this DVD. Sit back & relax with these impeccably maintained tanks with crystal clear water and vibrant healthy fish. Review "So Glad You Guys Made An Aquarium DVD!" "I was so excited to hear you guys were making an aquarium DVD. I've been wanting one for a while and you guys did not disappoint! Super high quality, I love it!" --- Seth Blue Columbus, OH P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Director About Plasma Candy Plasma Candy was born from a desire to do something very simple better than any one else... I wish we could say this movement began as an effort to assemble the best videographers and exotic talent. It didn t, rather our first hit, The Fireplace DVD, was developed by amateur videographer, Jason Lexell, out of patience, planning, trial and error and looking for the perfect uninterrupted natural fireplace burn. We know exactly what we were looking for and, unlike most corporate entities, we are driven by a desire to capture the realness and passion of simple things in life for the world (or even just a select group of friends) to cherish and enjoy. Is Plasma Candy Art? While we feel Plasma Candy will continue to develop as an art form when video interpretations are displayed on large television canvases, we are not comfortable referring to our own work in that way. We just know when we finish a project or capture a beautiful scene, we see and feel something we want to share. What s Our Motivation? It changed. In the beginning it was to prove that simple scenes could be shot in a better, more professional way. However, as we ve become more involved it has become clear that you can t study or film a subject truthfully without capturing a piece of you. A beautiful reef tank increases in beauty when you know the owner s passion and how they ve spent thousands in fish, plants, coral and knowledge to build it. We want to respect that and help highlight it while making a great final product for you to enjoy. See more

Having your own "aquarium" without all the fuss!
After a recent trip to the vet's office with our cat- I had to find this DVD. I could not believe how mesmerized my little guy was by this dvd, so much, that his usual anxiety of being examined was non existent. I had to laugh as I've never seen an animal so engrossed in anything on a screen before like this. He kept focused on one little orange striped fish in particular, you could actually watch his eyes follow it~LOL! (what an excellent idea this vet has to keep his patients calm- and at least in our case-worked great!).I have to admit I find this very relaxing to watch as well. I love aquariums, but honestly have no interest in the upkeep of one. Problem solved here.You have several selections of "tanks" to watch 1. Scenic Saltwater 2. Coral Reef Clownfish 3.Live Rock Saltwater 4.Freshwater Angels and 5.Freshwater Jungle. You can auto loop through one or do an auto loop of all. The background sounds of an aquarium are so much better than listening to some new age background music that you find on some dvds, at least for us. I guess it's a matter of preference on that one.And as for the debate of the quality of the image and whether it's true HD or not- it doesn't matter to me- the footage is beautiful with vivid colors varying with the fish and appears true to life. This dvd is getting a lot of play time here as I find it very soothing and a much welcomed break from regular TV programming. We had friends stop by today and they were so impressed by the beautiful tanks and very well done filming that they are now ordering their own dvd. Says a lot right there.Kudos to PlasmaCandy- I'm interested in seeing what they come up with next. It would be great if they could get some nice footage by something like Cape Neddick (the Nubble Lighthouse) in York, ME. One of my favorite lighthouses and the views are beautiful- with the waves crashing in the background - oh my- that would be so nice!Highly recommend this dvd to those who are like us- love aquariums but hate the hassle! Very realistic.

Well Done!
I usually don't leave reviews like this, but after reading many and finally making up my mind on which Aquarium DVD to purchase I wanted to leave my own. I found the other reviews on this DVD to be very accurate. The fish look amazing on a both large and small televisions. This is important to me because I've seen DVDs where a small tank was filmed and when you watch it on a 50" plasma the fish look like monsters. The backgrounds in all cases help make the scenes look very natural. Other DVDs I checked out seemed to have very plain or no backgrounds and this didn't impress me as much as the live rock or greenery. My wife and I had friends over during the 4th of July and everyone loved it. Sure, they could have just been acting polite, but two of them asked me to write down the name and where they could purchase one. This was very well done.

Not full 1080 resolution :(
This is a pretty good DVD for the price. The lighting, colors, variety of fish, and fish action are excellent in my opinion. It's truly a lot like like having a real aquarium. Unfortunately, the footage appears to have been shot at a resolution of 720, which is technically considered high definition. It's acceptable, but you'll be disappointed if you are expecting full 1080 resolution, just as I was. In fact, there's no noticeable difference between playing this DVD through an HDMI cable or a 480 analog component cable. Until I find an aquarium DVD shot in full 1080HD, I'll use this one to entertain my cat (who loves it, by the way. He'd give it six stars if he could.)

Beautiful, Natural Looking Aquariums
I was a bit overwhelmed when I started looking for an aquarium DVD. After reading loads of reviews, I actually selected Plasma Candy's because I have their Fireplace DVD and liked the tank images I saw.My criteria was very specific. I wanted loads of fish. I wanted scenes that made my TV look like an aquarium...not like I was chasing fish around the ocean. In addition, I prefer more natural looking plants and rocks as backgrounds, and I just didn't see that in the screen shots of other aquarium DVDs.I have one small complaint. I wish it was in Blu Ray. However, many of my friends who have seen it said they thought it was HD. I do have to give 5 stars though, as everyone who has seen it playing on my TV says they love it and ask me where they can get one.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
There are 5 different aquariums in this DVD. The last one doesn't work at all. I may very well have received a bad DVD. If that's the case, then the quality control of the manufacturer isn't very good (to say the least). It would cost me more money to send it back to them, and having to pay postage (again) to have it sent to me. So please don't waste your money on this product. Not only that, but the so called tanks it shows have very few fish in them, and the color isn't very vivid at all. I guess I'm spoiled by the MARINE AQUARIUM DELUXE SCREENSAVER VERSION 3, which I use on my computer. Now that's worth every penny! So instead of spending your money on this worthless product, send for the screensaver I spoke of above.
