Too bad they didn't let you make a bow on I, Caveman.  You could have fed the whole camp all week on fricaseed dragonflies! 

That's a fantastic video, Billy.  What amazes me is that you were your own camera man.  I imagine a vast majority of your time was spent getting the set-up, only to have your prey move off!  Jow many hours of field time did it take to condense down into this video?

Well it took 3 days of filming just to get the hunting of the dragonflies on video.  Then I had to film the interviews which didn't take that long but driving to location, setting up and then breaking down took some time...maybe 2 hours.  Then I had to edit it....that took over 15 hours.  There is a lot of additional video that I filmed but didn't use and you don't even see that.   So I've got a LOT of time devoted just to make this one 8 minute video.  That's what it takes to make a good video though.  I don't just throw things together...it takes a lot of planning and thought to do it and do it well..   Glad you liked it!!!

When the DVD comes out, include a gag reel or blooper reel!
