Now I remember why I don't do it, it takes forever and I'm still not real happy with it.

Which part are you not happy with David?
You put a lot into that. I know the time involved both on the job and with the editing later.
.... some excellenvt footage in there. Good job.

Well, I wanted a rigging video that moved fast and showed many clips from many jobs.
Somewhere I forgot to stick to that.
That speedline job was nothing special, except for the duckbill anchor used as an anchor point since there was none, I showed too much of that job, i should have showed a little then went on to other jobs.
I should have showed only one balancer clip, they hinge around slow and showing two of them slowed down the video too much in my opinion. (there were wires directly under both of those limbs btw, I would have had to have taken them in say 3 parts, or tip tied and a lot more cranking; if not taken the whole limb with a spider leg balancer).
I just think I got stuck on a few jobs, maybe I was tired of reviewing so much and some of them were not real impressive compared to some others that I could have choosen.
So as I was getting near the end of finishing the video, I thought, crap, I don't like it that much, but it was so much work, what should I do. Solution, make a part 2.
Now, seeing the positive responses, NOW I remember why it's fun to put out a video.
So thank you.
Boreality, I know we haven't always agreed on things, so it shows you say what you feel and your opinion means a lot.
Reg, yes, since you've done some great videos, you sure appreciate the time it takes to do this. It does slow down the job a bit and the editing sure takes a long time if you are picky.
I think I probably have 40-50 hours to put that short video together.
I was picky on making the scene changes go with the music, slide the spider leg prussic with the guitar slide sound, etc.
Youtube doesn't like barrowed/stolen music, so I'm greatful to have MattyD's brother and friends create this music and give us the right to use it.
I do like the limb camera shots myself, you need to find a tree that the rigging point isn't going to slap the trunk and destroy a camera. I attach it with a bright colored strap that screams attention so the groundperson doesn't forget the camera is on it.
My two favorite clips are in there: It's the waving goodbye limb camera and it's the log being lowered with two LD's (love the bird sounds and log sounds in that clip, as the camera picked them up well due to a stone wall and stone building behind it.)
Thanks.
