Unfortunately you can't place much reliance on general shutter-bugs to film scenes properly at the fountains in Russia, cos they always use low quality cellphone cameras to make videoclips, with erratic camerawork, so all the stuff that gets posted to youtube is always lousy quality. You have to take the bull by the horns and arrange for cameramen to film things properly with a DV or HD camcorder, cos I have yet to see any decent quality youtubes in past years, and that is why I arrange for my own camera guys to be there instead. I would love to go there myself, but I tried last year and the paperwork to get a visa was worse than my tax return, and you need a sponsor, and then the visa processing fees are ridiculous ($400+), so I gave up trying to get there myself and hired some local camera guys instead.

FYI, I have arranged for camera guys to film things in Moscow, Kiev and Minsk starting later this month, but I lost 2 of my camera guys who have either left Russia to work overseas or they have retired, so I am still looking for additional camera guys in Moscow (cos I only have 2 guys covering Moscow and there are over 20 fountains in Moscow so 2 guys cannot be covering all of these fountains), plus I lost my camera guy in St Petersburg, so if anybody living in Russia wants a free camcorder and travel expenses, plus labor time compensation, contact me and join our camera team and then you will get free access to the 200+ hours of Russian fountains media we have collected on DVD so far.
