Cinematic saber cat skull prep

[Jared C]

My great friend Harry Duran just produced his first YouTube video, prepping a Hoplophoneus skull found in the white river formation. One of the most spectacular prep vids I've ever seen. Figured you guys might find it as invigorating as I did

Indeed, very impressive preparation video! When I saw the run-time I was afraid that it'd claim quite a bit of time for a preparation video. However, the way this was presented is just so captivating, with the soundtrack and voice overs making it sound like a true documentary video! Voice overs were, moreover, added at exactly the right points in time to keep pulling your attention back to the video. Absolutely top notch job there!

Nice job, thanks for sharing.

Even if I think there is still some clearing to be done

  love the voice overs.  Also, at first I couldn't figure out what that 'nail' was for tied to the media blaster hand piece but became self evident very fast.  Nice Video

I think it might actually serve a double purpose: not just for loosening some still adherent rock, but also for indicating the direction of the blast more easily. But the latter may just be my limited experience with sandblasting talking

Now, THAT'S how you do a fossil prep video. Very engaging and beautiful prep work.
