eVideo Shoot

Last Saturday at the Rugged Quarter in Trussville, AL, Rob Lagerstrom, Bill Fyfe and I worked on the completion of the RDT eVideo and the Storm Damage eVideo.


We had previously shot most of the RDT video. We only had to add an intro and then a few defining shots and shoot the Run Check outline and discuss a bit about fuel. It went quickly and I think its up to Rob on the edit table to have it ready to go.


We then went out to the field to shoot a large broken Hickory Tree that had fallen, broken over the motorcycle trail below the entrance road. This thing is about 25ft to the break point and then bent over back to the ground with lots of weight. We took info on it and I thought I had a plan. It was working until one of the hinges in the top held too well. I had it in the wrong position and too thick. Not a safety issue, just had to go to plan B. But the effect for the eVideo was over for that scenario. You will like this one...


We then hung up a tree and planned the takedown. Looked at SpringPole's and a few limbing cuts. All the rest went well.


I think you are going to be impressed with these eVideos when they are ready.


Thanks Rob and Bill for a great day and future AWESOME eVideo training tool.


Good Sawing,


Tim Ard
