Some of you guys may remember a post I put up about the Full Draw Film Tour. Well, the guys that have been putting the Tour together for the last 3 years have now started a film school with the intent to teach both new aspiring and experienced film makers to raise the bar on their finished products. Whether you are just interested in videoing for personal use to share with friends and family or want to do something more serious with your production work, it covers camera operations, story boarding, editing etc. They realize that many non-hunters that see hunting videos can come away with a changed attitude towards hunting; either they come away with a positive experience after seeing a well put together, tastefully done production that is respectful towards the animal and portrays hunting in a positive light, or like too many YouTube videos out there now, are turned off by what someone has posted up, even though they may have had good intentions. They want to help clean up the face of hunting. Anyway, here is a finished piece that came out of the Film School last weekend. I had a friend there that is one of the instructors and has one of my bows and here is what he produced. Pretty impressive. The slow motion of arrow in flight at the end is impressive. It is amazing what these new cameras can do now!

Pretty Cool!
I think you really captured the feel of stickbow hunting....Great video!
Very well done!
South, your attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. Your website is full of great content and IMHO is the most informative, most professional site of any custom bowyer.
Keep up the good work.
Good Job on the commerical!!
I agree that there is allot of poor stuff out there. Good to hear there are people trying to improve things.

An excellent commercial! Very nice footage of the arrow flight.

Good stuff South, as always.
Raising the bar is a good thing.
Thanks.

Great commercial South. Congrats on the P&Y award at the film festival too!!
Excellent work! :thumbsup:
Awesome work it's what we need to see more of in this day and age nobody every sits back and speaks about how when where and why we hunt and what it's supposed to be!
Great commercial.
Thanks guys, I wish I could say I had something to do with it. I only built the bow, LOL! It sure inspires me to work harder when I get a video camera in my hands! I'll be going to the film school myself this spring, watch out for some improved stuff next winter!!

Very nicely done! This coming from a motion picture and TV cinematographer!
Well done!
I liked it a lot!
Very nice job. It presents a great counter position to the compound/crossbow adds so common, and lacking in even an ounce of inspiration.
This is awesome. Well done guys.
Love it !
Very well done. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
More of those needed for all aspects of what we do. Thanks for that.
I'm definitely signing up for this class too!!!
Impressive
Nice!
It's so cool! Kody and the guys did a great job on this.
Well done, great commercial.
Sweet!, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Outstanding. I like the new direction of videography that is showing up in filmed hunts. For too long all we saw were shows that seemed to mirror one another without too much creativity.
What? No fist-pumpin' or yellin' "BBD"? No heavy metal music? Wow...don't know how this will work out.... :goldtooth:
Really like it. It's a pleasant change and is easy to watch and get pulled in.
Love it!!!
