I’ve been doing interviewing/100 questioning a few videographers to follow me for a week in the ADK’s since the end time last hunting season. I have one high school friend and one female friend that swears she’s willing to follow me for a week next deer season with a video camera. I’ve had some other individuals swear/promise a week of videoing that fell through. So I have my doubts but I’m willing to pay a premium for a quality videographer to follow me for a week in the ADK’s. With my disabilities I know my time/prime is dwindling. When I get on a fresh track that looks promising I feel like I’m 20 again but after 5-10 days I feel the same old thing I feel like in 33 with a severe spinal disorder.

Hope it all works.  That would be cool. 

It would be cool, but the up front cost/ someone willing to endure it for a week with very little/no return on investment makes it very hard to write a check. I would absolutely love to have a video/documentary of a week of me in the big woods but the up front cost/ return on that cost makes it very difficult to rationalize the initial investment. Especially for the very limited market that wants to watch me follow a deer track through the big woods.

Go with the chick....That way if the hunting's slow...………..

Haha, you and I think alike!

 

I think she’s going to work out if I can get her for the right week. She’s a college student that does some filming on the side. Avid hiker, enjoys the outdoors but has never hunted or been around hunting. I think with her not being a hunter she’s going to be able to see it from a completely different perspective and hopefully make a good video Because of that.

Sounds awesome but why not a cinematographer ? Not trying to be funny, I just think they take it one step further and make it like a movie

I actually think that’s going to be more the direction it goes, if it goes at all. Apparently there is a large market in the short film world that I didn’t know anything about, I believe she called them “film festival’s.” I’m sure there’s not many hunting videos at these things tho.

A quick update, I paid a deposit to a young lady that is very interested and motivated. She has some flexibility on dates but as of now I have locked her in for the 3rd week of Nov.

I really hope this works out. This could work out very well for both of us. She’s a very liberal college student that has a good amount of filming experience but zero hunting experience. She’s never stepped foot in the woods outside of a city park and never been around a gun let alone fired one. I really hope that her looking at this from a non hunter point of view that she will be able to capture things from a completely different angle than the run of the mill hunting videos that are already out there.

Now I just have to hope for favorable conditions for that week or else I will have wasted a good bit of money and time but it’s a risk That I think is worth it.

I would love to tag along with with someone like you and learn tips on how to...

[i have never hunted, and a total n00b, and probably would be annoying asking a million questions and ruin your hunt lol]

Good luck on finding a videographers, they are not cheap.
