Initial PWV videos produced and submitted to National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance as part of grant proposal commitment to NWSA. To view videos click on titles:
Completing videos appears to be a never ending process. As the Team refines the videos, the above links will be updated.

It was like Christmas in May. Thanks to an $9,500 grant from NWSA we had boxes to open, cameras to charge up and microphones to plug in. Members of the Photo Video Committee helped launch the effort to create videos at a box opening party for video equipment ordered for the grant.
We didn't know at that time that the party's euphoria would transform itself into frustration and criticism by ourselves and others as we learned what it takes to make good videos.
We learned by making mistakes. Like the time we traveled to Jack's Gulch only to discover that our memory cards were not in the cameras or discovering that a sound track was not recorded because a switch was in the wrong position on the camera.
Frustration was ever-present during the editing process when our computers shut down for no apparent reason, or the program froze up at a critical editing point. We are still learning.
We enjoyed the interaction with volunteers and the public as we recruited them along a trail for an interview. We look forward to creating more videos and hope we can meet you on the trail.
