billrquimby Report post Posted June 11, 2006 "Video addiction Anyone else sick?" I'm sick that the guys who produce the videos and outdoor-channel programs are mostly amateur filmmakers working on non-existant budgets. In an industry where pros spend $500,000 or more just for a 30-second commercial. the terrible editing, narration and music on hunting videos stand out as gawd-awful sore thumbs, showing me and every other hunter in a poor light. Worse, most of the "stars" could double for the rednecks that Jeff Foxworthy has made a fortune ridiculing. For example: I watched an elk-bowhunt video on the Men's Channel a couple of nights ago that made me want to hide my head in shame. Two guys called in a fair bull, then one stuck an arrow into it. The camera stayed focused on that elk for two or three minutes as it hunched up, limped around, stumbled and flopped around before dying. The idiot with the camera then switched to the idiot with the bow, who actually giggled at that animal's horrible death. Ugh! Personally, I think hunting is a lot like sex. I don't want anyone watching while I'm doing it. Bill Q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BASS Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Not to mention the hunter's play by play comentary of the event to the camera after the shot. They do play off the camera well, but I still like a good Elk one every now and again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted June 12, 2006 My problem with hunting videos and programs is that they are so amateurish and their producers have zero sensitivity for viewers who know nothing about hunting. They dwell on kill shots, and don't bother to edit out gruesome game deaths such as I saw the other night. You are absolutely correct about the after-kill play-by-play. These videos spend ten to twenty minutes getting to where the hunter pulls a trigger or releases an arrow, then we are subjected to the hunter sitting behind his trophy, telling us what we've just seen. Even worse are the videos that give instant replays of an arrow or bullet striking an animal. If I were King I'd set professional standards for hunting videos that are shown on television, and require everyone who buys a VCR or DVD about hunting to show a hunting license.

DEERSLAM Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Sorry Bill, looks like I found one of your pet peeves. I look at it like everthing in life, you get some bad with the good. To each his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues addict Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Deerslam Don`t worry Mike. I am sure I have the addiction also. A lot of us probably do. I really like the Primo`s videos, I think they are pretty well done. I have learned a lot of things to do and not to do from several of mine. Bill has a point though and maybe if enough of us bitch about it it will make the overall quality come up a level or two. Or maybe some of us will just have to make our own and get Bill to edit them for us! Later Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted June 12, 2006 ... Or maybe some of us will just have to make our own and get Bill to edit them for us! Later Rich Rich: Sorry, but other than directing production of TV commercials during my advertising/PR era 100 years ago I have no experience in modern film/video editing and production. That's the problem with most of the stuff now on the market: the people producing them are amateurs with delusions of grandeur. Don't get me wrong. I have seen some good hunting videos, but they are vastly outnumbered by the bad ones. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
