Thanks guys!
Still need to work on the lighting issue, which is hard to figure out with self filming. I made some changes, but apparently, the didn't turn out.
The diagonal cutters worked better than expected for opening up the chest cavity. I will see about working on presentation of the wound area and internals combined with changing the lighting and see if I can come up with some more clear imagery.
As an aside, I had gone to Harbor Freight to buy a relatively inexpensive cordless oscillating saw to power through the ribs. I think the price was $40. For an experiment, that was significantly cheaper than buying one that was $65-80. However, they didn't have any of the inexpensive ones in stock. I happened to see the long handled diagonal cutters and they looked like they would give me plenty of leverage, plus they were only $6. They turned out to be a bargain. They are inexpensive, worked well for the task, are smaller and lighter than an oscillating saw, and I can carry them in my pocket if I have to do so. Cleanup wasn't too bad, either. I just hosed them off with some WD-40 and wiped them with a cloth. Probably the best part was that I got to look inside the chest at the damage without completely eviscerating the hog to do so.

Kill a hog. Save the planet.
