My apprentice James asked for it, so here it is. In this video we explore the complexities of the Snap Cut in one of the most common aerial production situations: chunking down a spar into a drop zone. Word to the wise: this video is very purposely NOT trying to be comprehensive. I just wanted to touch on the basics, there are way more things that I didn't mention or address than those that I did. My apprentice just wanted to know how to get started with this cut, he has tried it many times after watching me do it and has gotten frustrated. So hopefully I hit enough of the beats to get him started.
