Here's the latest video project. Pat Epps climbing and rigging out three 100'+ tulip trees. Had a bunch of help editing from a friend's son, and actually bought a new imac for this and future projects.. Put some music over the action shots. The dialogue was all ad libbed and flowed pretty well. Camera was in a bucket truck for most of the day, so there are some nice camera angles.
I was trying to show what a good climber can accomplish with proper understanding of good cutting techniques, to steer large pieces to swing smoothly into the rigging, proper tying off at a point slightly under the center of gravity to aid in directing the piece to swing smoothly into the rigging and have it rotate slowly after seperatioin, rather than slamming down into the rigging, while keeping the piece tip heavy to minimizing the risk of it coming back at the climber. Combining that with a groundman that can be trusted to let the pieces run, and we were able to rope out some large pieces safely while minimizing shock loads.
This is part one of two, both 10 minutes long. Part two is up on youtube already.

Also have another edit nearly complete of just the action without dialogue.
Reg, Ace, G.B., the master, and others have been cranking out some great videos. I hope you all enjoy this one as well... There is over 40 hours of post production in the three ten minute pieces...
