Don, my limited experience with video is that, it's kinda like when you decide to remodel a room in your house- it almost always takes much longer than you think. Both the "filming" and the editing will probably take 10 times longer than you think it should take. I really wish I could help with this but I'm just way too busy. If I was retired I'd just go follow Bob around until I had maybe 100 hours of video, then begin the editing process. But first I'd buy a semi-pro camera, which would cost at least $5,000. The small camera I got for $700 actually can take very good video but it's difficult to use because it's so small, with tiny buttons and a tiny viewer- and I have old eyes which can hardly see the buttons and screen. The bigger cameras are much more user friendly and of course have big lens.
I'm still dreaming of creating a series of videos on forestry because what I know about forestry is NOT to be found in video. Doing this could be my ultimate contribution to the world.
Maybe this summer- once I get past this long list of mgt. plans I'm working on, I'll go out with Bob 3-4 days and see what I can come up with.
