Tree Walking


It's like hiking, but hiking on trails up in the trees on zip lines, wire bridges and ladders.
The kids' youth group went and Daddy was the guide. Greyson and the older boys quickly zipped ahead and left him to coach the stragglers. So Dad didn't get any actual pictures of OUR kids doing this.

It's like in the movies, when they use a stunt double. You think you are watching Harrison Ford, but it's really some guy named Buck who is an expert at these kinds of things. You'd be amazed at his resume.
So.
This is "Greyson".

And here he is again on the wobbly wire bridge.
Proper camera placement is crucial to sustain the believability in your character during a movie stunt. You'll notice, the faces are never full in the shot.
"Greyson" loved Tree Walking. I'm guessing. From these shots it sure looks like he did.
