Trev & John climbing on TV show SCOPE.

Hey all,

Here's a spot we filmed for a kids science show on Network 10 called SCOPE.

http://www.youtube.com/user/trevmcrev#p/u/5/GOqhfejz34M
It's produced by the CSIRO, and aimed at 5-12 year olds.

This weeks topic was "Things that climb".

They covered elevators, fish, kangaroos and.....arborists!

We spent over 5 hours filming to have it edited down to about 3 minutes!

It was shot at a new tree top obstacle course called Trees Adventure in Belgrave. We had spent about 5 weeks pruning in this section of forest to prepare it. But thats another thread....

Any video of tree work posted usually gets critiqued.... so go for it!
Bear in mind the target audience (kids) so some of the stuff scripted isn't that accurate, but they didn't really want to change stuff much on the day.

And yes safety nazis, i do some one-handed pruning.
My beliefs on that are in this thread:
One Handed Chainsawing

Great work, great footage clearly presented and easily understood for the kiddies out there viewing to older folks who only see us on the roadside or in their backyard cutting trees for what ever reason needed..

Good stuff, good exposure.

Was that guy who hosts the show out there? He seems weird!

Haha nah he wasn't on location.

He is actually a real scientist i think, so of course he's a bit wacky

And its all got a bit of a fun angle to it being a kids show, gotta keep em interested.
