Chop, you got the remote, find a way to put it on your wrist and wear it like a watch.
Try for very short clips of top coming off, or cutting a limb and watching it swing. It will make it less painful to edit.
Edit all the bad stuff out and everyone will think you are as great as you are.
Contract climbers have it made, it should be easy for you to get footage. Tell 'the boss' to piss off and make it known that filming is part of the package, and that's that.
Any idiot can edit with iMovie so tell your wife to get you a Mac for her MacDaddy... and if you get too far behind send the vid to me and I can edit for you.
