@johnguilfoyle30732 жыл бұрын
I heard a motivational speaker talking about how you should focus on your target and not the obstacle. He said if you tell a pilot not to hit something they would focus on the obstacle and wind up hitting it. This made me less concerned about the ability of pilots and more concerned that the speaker had no idea what he was talking about. When I watch Rory driving through tight spots on rough trails I know he is visualizing his path through the obstacles, but as I have done in similar tight spots in my job, you have to focus on the obstacle on one side to know that if you're not getting within a specific distance of that obstacle, the other side of the vehicle will not clear. Rory shows this by knowing that he has to drive up a wall on the left to get the trailer to clear the obstacle on the right.

The camera shots (& sound by Mike) outstanding; & cameras perched within & around the TM add to the story telling, with the sound of wheels and squeaks bringing it to life. And the art of moving the TM and trailer by RI is remarkable also. As I've said before, the public is lucky to have TM and the crew around. And we, citizens, get to watch the "live action". I'm often anxious, hoping TM doesn't break down or fall apart.
