Then you hauled everything back to the editing room where you worked for days to cut and splice all that raw footage into a coherent package. If you were very talented, the results looked like this:

Mike Hoover is still around, and I hope he is watching this

I wasn't aware of this -- very cool. Thanks.

We have captured a ton of video of the project and they've done a bunch of amazing lines. Hopefully we can put together a few good videos coming out of this.
