Rats! I wish I could go to the Round-up, but I'll have to settle for chasing permit and bones in the Bahamas that weekend. I would love to give Tony 1st-hand rope-dub lessons, but alas, not to be this year. I could send Buggs, but he's pretty transparent and silent without me there. I'll be there next year, Tony.
--Headed out this afternoon to continue progress on the DVD. There is so much information, we are having a hard time getting it all on one DVD. So....what do you think of these ideas? We film the master tying technique, using the 3 angles (cameras), of a particular material (complete- I think). During the tying sequence we super-impose (edit) up in a corner a photo of the fly that is in the vise, or similar, just for a few seconds. Then on a still-photo page following each sequence we have a few or a bunch of photographs (tiled) of that material roped to give different looks and then different finished flies. One could pause on this page to see in detail how a material will look when rope-dubbed a certain way. This way, the DVD is stand-alone. As we progress, though, we see more and more that should be on the advanced DVD. OR, we could flash a web-site url (on the Fantasy Fly site) for pages that would show all of the photographs and finished patterns with written descriptions of how that material can be roped, and materials recipes for the finished flies (in addition to the tiled pages on the DVD). That way viewing the video on a pc can be paired with a web tutorial for additional info. to finish a fly. Since the DVD is technique-based, not pattern recipe based, the added links to variations and finished flies would complete the tutorials. I could always update the web pages, but I couldn't update the DVD once it is published and printed. I could always put and update links and sponsors on the web pages too. Comments, opinions? What do you think would be more advantageous? Can a DVD be interactive? That would open up some doors. I could use these same techniques on the mouse video, and the rest of them.
