For those interested in the rope-dub dvd...
I got the initial proof/draft DVD for the video tying sequences from the
video-man. I stuck it in the TV and Cheryl sat down to watch it with me. She
was amazed. She's seen me demo-ing the rope-dub for the last 8 years, but she
said the DVD was even better than seeing me tie in person (that's hard to
believe, since I'm so good-lookin'). She was also amazed at how many tying
techniques were included, telling me that I could make 3 DVDs with that much
information. I told her I was already working on DVD #2 and it had a lot more
advanced applications.
>From my standpoint it looked pretty good, but needs a lot more editing and
>photo inserts. How many tying sequences are there? 24 that I counted, not

>fishing sequence up front or the credits and ad pages at the back. The

>pattern), that the tying sequences don't take very long at all.
There's a lot for someone to work on, but the tying sequences coupled with
various photos should allow pausing and rewinding so that tough parts can be
reviewed. Only problem I could see was that my big 'ol ball-park frankfingers
were getting in the way all the time. We used 2 camera angles, so hopefully we
can get good views of all ties.
I cancelled my trip to Idaho this week-end because of the storm moving in-
supposed to be 2 to 4 feet of snow up in the western mountains (Jackon/Wilson
areas) so the passes may get closed (our route). I'll have to wait for a later
date to meet up with Jack Dennis to review it with him.
>From my first view, I am very satisfied and I'm looking forward to getting a
>couple more initial reviews from seasoned tiers.
If you have any questions, please fire away.
And Byard- you get yours for free, of course (signature edition). I'll chat
with you off-list.
