Steve,
Remember that making video is like taking pictures...
-Grab frame grabs that make sense and add passion to the video based on the situtation or body language of the animal.
-Capture the video and trim the crap...keep the good stuff
-Use transitions and songs that keep the audience on their toes basedon the footage (this is key)
-Produce short clips that show YOU in the moment...drawing the bow, your excitement after the kill, a bird on a tree....etc...make the audience feel like they are with you....
When you make a videothink about your production as a STORY...from beginning to end...
*** This 3 minute intro took about 2 hours to capture, think about, and develop the right feeling with transitions and music...
----------------------------------------------------------
At the end of a hunting season I am left with...
5 hours of raw video....
I can create a full DVD of a deer season in about 20 hours......
It sounds like alot but when you add it up...its about a month or so of playing around when you have time away from your normal responsibilities in life.....stay with me! Lets have fun with this!!

Brian, I like it a lot. Great work. I'm looking to pick up Adobe Premier Elements in the next week or so to chop up the footage from this spring.Then I'll jump to full blown Premier. I just hope it turns out half as good as what you did. Once you get Adobe we'll have to chat and bounce some ideas off one another.
Good job again. I can't wait to see some more of your stuff.

Nice video, def a good choice with the music! the camera work was all really good, the hawk footage was neat too. Also I like the fact that it wasn't a bunch of huge bucks on super managed ground, I can't relate to that. Its nice to see some realistic hunting footage
