"Trad Life" series...our 2014 on film..Part 3 added

[Guru]

Last year was the first full year that I toted around a video camera pretty much wherever I/we went.  

I was rewarded with tons of video that captured memories that will be with me forever.

I considered putting together a DVD to sell, but  with my entry level equipment, I don't think the quality of the video was good enough to sell.

And honestly, I wouldn't know the first thing how to go about putting together and selling a DVD.

So with hours and hours of raw video to deal with I've decided to just release and share a series of short films, pretty much in chronological order as I get them edited.

Part 1, "Winter, the scout, and a boys first turkey with a bow",  features a turkey hunt that some of you may have seen from last spring(re-edited), but also a lot of new footage from before the hunt took place. Cade's first turkey with a bow, a day I hope I'll remember till my last breath!

Part 2, "The Show",  features a self filmed hunt of my first day in the blind hunting in 2014. A hunt that was far from over after the arrow was released!

Please let me know what you think of the films by commenting here or on You Tube....there's a lot more to come.  Part 3 will be up tomorrow or the next day, then part 4 soon after. That will take care of turkey season.

As a side note....I'll have a much better camera this year in the blind with me!

Really cool, well done bud! My only comment would be that we've probably all seen dvd's being marketed that were of the same quality, maybe not even as good so I think your well on your way to getting out there.

[Tim]

You have SKILLS!
I make my living thru a camera lens.(even though my is a still camera not video) I know skills when i see it. you put alot of thought into each frame, composition, angle, and capture technique.
If I were you I would explore the details of making a dvd for sale. all you need is a duplicator (services provide at a million online places), and bar codes generated. Then distribute. not as hard as you think. And you have exactly what it takes to do it right.
 IMO: people want a story, they want details, they want to feel like they are there, they want to live in the experience......I dont know of anyone who would watch a film with those attributes and say " If only he used a better camera".  
 Just food for thought!

Great videos! I'm always wishing there were more good trad bowhunting videos out there. Thanks for sharing

[BuckeyeGuy]

Curt, I'm watching the first one and I don't see anything that resembles a low budget flick bud!  Pretty impressive by any standard.  May I ask what type of equipment you used?  Thx, Mike

[kbetts]

Great stuff.  I could vids like that all day.

Love the Bob Palmer turkey call btw.  I saw him for the first time in months last Saturday......going to have to remember to put in a request for an aluminum or glass.

Awesome Curt.  A ton of work goes into editing and filming in general is a lot of work.  I always look forward to your pics and videos.   Good stuff!!!

Watched number 2 the other day, I'm loving these videos. Great footage of the bird destroying the decoys haha. They really went to town on those decoys!
