I agree, if you ain't going to eat it, don't bag it.

Bobb, Howard Hill was not the type of man to let anything he shot go to waste.

I can't believe this thread.  And to think that it was a discussion about rather eating beaver than opossum that led me to the door at that (other) board. I like it here!

Brian,

There was one of those shows.... Survivor man I think. He would climb down a really rugged cliff, set the camera up, climb back up the cliff so he could film himself climbing down. Sound isn't so hard. Remote mics, then voice overs or sound affects added back at the studio during editing.
