Still hard to see the whole job site and LZ but I dunno ... could you have knocked the head off whole?

Make sure you have those wing/relief cuts with cocos.

When compressing to wmv watch the pixel size you choose. If you are shooting out of a digi pic camera check that the video pixel size is largest, many cameras default to the scab setting.

Well done, trees are more fun to video but harder to do as the camera man also needs to run the ropes etc, many times I have the customer do it.

Nah, wasn't enough room to bomb the whole head. When I was editing it, you could see how long it took me to get all those fronds off - it was pretty broad canopy. We got a full bed of mulch from em. Yeah nothing like a good ol compressed palm.

The mpeg file is good quality (250mbs), but to big to post here. So WMV won and yeah the quality loss was abit... But hey, as they say - you can't have your cake and eat it too :P
