This is in no way his fault, but the guy looks like John Holmes.
The music at the beginning fits that theme too.
He stutters through a lot of parts that should have been re-shot.
I liked when he cut down a tree, and both he AND the cameraman RAN AWAY.
Even my wife said, "Couldnt the camera man stand back far enough to be safe and just zoom in?"
I was like, um, if he were a professional I suppose.
the entire hand held look of it was EXTREMELY low budget.
I was also checking out some safety errors, and noted the following
Running while saw is running.
Leather chaps (do these do anything?)
no eye protection whatsoever
short sleeve shirt (I am guilty of this sometimes, but this is a safety video!)
reving saw while walking.
Sticking entire arm in notch (my seven year old asked me what if he got his hand stuck in there)
cutting backcut at an angle,
In the final segment of the video, there is a written warning against cutting/falling in wind, and the text is layed over video shot after he felled the tree, and you can see the trees swaying IN THE WIND.
I just laughed at the misspellings, the poor production, the guys cutting technique (are you supposed to constantly rev the throttle like a superbike while cutting?)
there are also some scenes where the cameraman deliberately zooms in on the manufacturer logo on the saws. Made me wonder if they were hoping to sell this to one of them.
I would be willing to send this video to a senior member of the site, to analyze, and comment on, but I am not going to post it out of respect for copyright laws.
