Hunting Video! Want to see?

[IdahoBugler]

Guys and gals,

I just put together a video on some of my hunts this year (DVD Format). It has somewhere around 6-7 kills with some other still pictures added to it. This is my first attempt at videoing and editing all of it, so don't expect anything fancy. It runs a little over an hour long.

Any advice to better it would be appreciated. Besides the tripod, better quality video, etc... It's dang tough in hunting situations to do all that but I'll try. :( I may look into getting a better camera this year if I decide to play with this a little more.

So this is what we will do. Kind of the same format at Schmalts did with his DVD. We will start a list here of the people that want to view it. I will send a copy out to the first guy on the list and then it will be his responsability to send it to the next guy, all the way down to the last guy. Just like Schmalts we will start out with the regulars first so the guys with 100+ posts will get first crack. After that anyone is available as long as they are registered here. Let's try to keep it moving as best we can.

Hope you enjoy,

[Moosie]

Hey Don't worry about Moosie.... I don't need to see it first.............I'm guessing I was filming 2 othe the Hunting scene to boot and you didn't tell me..... thanx .... :(

[mtmiller]

Sign me up.

[B-Killin]

I want in!!!!

[Oak]

Miller can send it to me. He already has my address.

[Oak]

Ok, B-Killin. ;)

[JoseCuervo]

I think there ought to be a corner tavern in Boise/Nampa somewhere we can have a "World Premier" party and see it......

[IdahoBugler]

Guys in the video get their own copy. I'll give you yours tomorrow. MT what's your addy and I'll send it your way.

[Wyodeerhunter]

im in...do i have 100 posts? ;)

[Ovis]

Wyodeerhunter

Could you possibly send that down to Florida when you're finished?

[TheTone]

I wouldn't be against seeing it. Watching hunting is almost as good as actually hunting.

[IdahoBugler]

All I have to say is this editing chit is for the birds. This dam video has been a pain in my arse for the last month. Which includes losing hours of editing time with lockups, unable to open the projects, switching programs, etc. Just tonight I put in a perfectly good dvd and about 30 minutes in it starts skipping. I played this same dvd yesterday and it worked fine. I about came un-glued. I put in another that was also checked yesterday and it was fine. Only difference was a dvd label I created and put on the dvd. You guessed it that little sticker caused the damn thing to f-up. I wish I new that 2 days ago when I threw away 8 freshly burned dvd's (with new labels) in the trash because I thought my recording speed was to fast. |oo Anyway no cool labels on the dvd but atleast it should play. I'll get it sent out tomorrow if MT gets me his addy before the post office closes.

Later,

[Moosie]

gUNNER... mEET US dOWN ATTHE nAMPA cIVIC cENTER AT 11:30am TOMORROW FOR LUNCH AND A sHOWING ON THE pROJECTOR...

[MarvB]

Throw
this ol' geezer in the loop as well...thanks IB :)

[T Bone]

Marv,
Please send it my way when you're done.

[schmalts]

me next, move over Miller

[Washington Hunter]

Put me on the list too, please!

[mtmiller]

me next, move over Miller
I believe it's on the way to Montana now lickbag and there is a line. No cutting. :D

Next on the list is B-killing and I will get it out as soon as possible.

[Moosie]

I got my copy yesterday...... I like it. Mostly because I'm in it. :) One of my favorite pictures is were you can't tell it's me and 'Bugler but we're looking over some deer and it's almost dark.

BIG bulls.... Big Bucks..... Moutain air and Pickup trucks !!!!

I actually only seen the Intro, but it was cool to see. I'm going to watch the rest today...As I spend the day Sitting around doing nothing !!!!!!!!!! YAHHHHH !!

[IdahoBugler]

Well I got the critics review from Moosie today. He couldn't believe I sent out something so chitty. He said the narration sucked. I couldn't agree more. I tired using a microphone.. Bad idea.. I was almost just going to use subtitles in a lot more places then I did but I decided actually narrating some parts might be better. Obviously not!!! :BLEEP: :BLEEP: Moosie did say the only thing that saved it was that he was in it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Moosie]

HAHA.. I didn't go that far, But the sound is the ONLY thing lacking in my opinion. I think the editing , the fades, the slow shots, (ME), ;) , and seriously everything else was good.

The sound went from you couldn't hear it to me jumping for the Remote not to wake the neighbors.

The other coment I have (Since I'm on the "box") is the NM hunt. You should have gotten some of Brandons footage too. I wobbled the camera on just prior to the Kill shot but then when you fade to the Pictures I think my picture was up first then your buck. For someone that didn't know we had 2 tags it might have been confusing ? Anyways, Since I know you're sensitive about it I'll log out now :D

[justdada]

Throw me onto the list too please, Idbugler. And congrats on getting it together!

[Wylee]

Hey, IB, you should bring a copy of it up during bear this spring, I promise not to be as tough on you as Moosie.... ;)

[Moosie]

:D I have my own copy.... I'll give it to you to review Wylee.

[DRAFTSTUD]

[B-Killin]

Got the video an watched it today. I thought that it was great! Got me all fired up. I made my ol'lady watch it with me to show her that I wasn't as die hard as she thought. Who is next on the list, lemme know and I will get it sent. Great video Bugler!!!!

[wilecoyote76]

I saw the vid one night (actually morning) after work....3 AM, and I didn't fall asleep. Somehow I think the spring bear tracking was staged.... HA HA HA!!! Everyone should enjoy it quite a bit. Dang, that SOB IdahoBugler shot a lot of chit last year. My favorite part was the blood gushing rifle elk and the nearly dead tree from Steve's archery deer hunt. Good Times!!!!!!!!!!

[schmalts]

My addy is :
Patrick Schmitt
W276 N9238 redwing rd
Hartland, Wi
53029
So sonce i have my addy posted... send it on over

[Moosie]

Somehow I think the spring bear tracking was staged....

Whatever............... You think that bear Died on the top of the Hil land We walked over and Found it ?!?!?! HEll it took dang near 2 hours of HArd tracking. Who would have known it was heading back to the Truck. that was the Shortest PAck I've ever had ;)

[B-Killin]

So who am I sending the video to? My bro Hunt2921 wants to see it, and I am trying to get him to get him out here hunting next year!!!!!!!!!!!!! THis video would do a greaqt job of recruiting for me!!!! Can I send it to him??????????

[B-Killin]

Hey schmalts I will send it to you and you send it to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mtmiller]

Looks like Oak is up, play by the rules. :D

[B-Killin]

he left me a message saying that he was going to be out of town for a few weeks.....
If he is going to be there then I will send it there. I guess I should have mentioned that.

[Oak]

Send it please. You never replied to the message. Next after me is Wyodeerhunter, who has already sent his address to me. Thanks!

[jkhunterid]

I'd like to get on the list if possible. I don't have a hundred posts, but will wait till whenever. Thanks.

[Hunt2921]

I would like to see it. Please put me on the list.

[IdahoBugler]

Somehow I think the spring bear tracking was staged.
I had to make sure that I could walk in those snow shoes I had on. I guess it would of made for better video if I was only in my sandals. :o

Here is the order that was posted so far.
Mtmiller - Done
BKillin - Done
Oak - Up next
Wyodeerhunting
Ovis
TheTone

Washington Hunter

Guys in line after the 100+ posts guys
Justdada
jkhunterid
hunt2921

Wylee and Gunner can get the video from Moosie or myself to view so don't worry about sending it to them.

So the guys on the request list make sure you send the guy in front of you your addy so they can send it to you after they are done. Let me know if you have problems with playing the DVD. I believe the format I sent out was dvd+r. Some players may have problems playing that format. My cousins in Hawaii had to use a mini dvd player to watch it. |oo

[Bwana]

This lurker would be interested in seeing it also. :)

[MarvB]

Tone's already been Pm'd my addy and I'll drop it to T-Bone ASAP when I've seen it..let's Git Er' Done Boys!!!!!!!

[Oak]

I haven't gotten it yet, unless it came in the mail today.

[IdahoBugler]

Oak - Have you gotten the dvd yet?

BKillin - Have you sent the dvd yet?

[IdahoBugler]

B-killin sent it today.

[BOWUNTR]

I'd like to be added to the list. Thanks Ed F

[cornfed]

Could I be added to the list, that would be great. Sorry only my first post so I may have to wait awhile. Got to start somewhere.

[schmalts]

whats the holdup?? the thing should get to a new guy every 4 days!

[Oak]

I got the video yesterday. It's ready to go in the mail to Wyo tomorrow.

IB, nice job! You really let the air out of that "380" bull. ;) Those were some nice bucks you filmed during the late archery hunt as well.

Oak

[FLIPPER]

I think after the schmalts dvd...that instead of shipping it back and forth across the country...put these guys in order by the regions they live in. It might move faster that way.JMO

With that being said...put me on your list of must see ;)

[Oak]

The DVD was mailed to WyoDeerHunter on March 27th. Is it still moving?

[1_pointer]

I want in! miller knows how to get to my bedroom...er house...

[mtmiller]

I have already seen the DVD, so your man boobs won't work this time. This time....:D

[1_pointer]

Boy do I hope I draw a deer tag in MT....

[mtmiller]

How are you doing on setting up that caribou thingy?

[1_pointer]

Still looking...

BOY sent me a few leads yesterday, but I think he was more interested in the Dall's. A bit too rich for this chap.

[JoseCuervo]

1-Ptr,
What are you looking for with caribou?

[1_pointer]

A pard or two and I are thinking of trying a DIY trip to AK for 'bou. Don't have any particulars yet, just shopping for drop camp ideas and such. You gotta a raft you'd like to bring with us??? ;) :D

[sreekers]

Out of curiosity what program did you use to edit the video? What kind of camera?

[Ovis]

Received the vid in the mail today. Plan on watching it tonight or tomorrow and will have it back in the mail to TheTone before COB Friday!

[JoseCuervo]

Out of curiosity what program did you use to edit the video? What kind of camera?

I won't answer for IdBugler, but I can tell you that I have had this discussion with him.

For other videos, I currently am using Pinnacle SE 9.4x and although it is pretty easy to do simple things with, I am not overly impressed with the creativity allowed, and many projects get "hung" when rendering the movie, requiring a re-start, or a removal of content until you find what is mysteriously hanging the project.

I did 2 videos recently with Still photos, Video, lots of transitions, lots of music, and 1 hour running times, on a iMac running iMovie from Apple. I loved it, and it worked well, never having the problems that the aforementioned PC running Pinnacle SE had.

I just did another Pinnacle video, and again remain unimpressed with the Pinnacle and PC solution.

I have heard good things about Sony Vegas, but if I need to do more, I might just break down and buy an Apple.

[justdada]

Holy Chit! am I ever going to see this video? :D

[IdahoBugler]

Out of curiosity what program did you use to edit the video? What kind of camera?

Sorry I missed your question until I read Gunners post. Anyway I used PowerDirector5. Wasn't inmpressed at all. Had the same problems Gunner had. I just fought through the problems and found it easier to add all the video first then go back through and add the transitions and titles and cool stuff. After I finally got a copy some what done something hosed my project again and I lost the ability to open it up. So after that point it was done. I wish I could of edited it more but I wasn't about to waste a chit load more time and start over.

The camera I used was just a little Panasonic GS14. I wish I had the coin to drop on a better one but that will have to do for now.

[Ovis]

IB

I didn't think the video was bad at all. You definitely have the voice (cool narrating job) and I think once you start getting more tape you're gonna be one busy dude cutting it. Good luck with it all, as well as this next hunting season. Thanks for allowing me to check it out.

On another note, I pm'd TheTone yesterday requesting his address, but haven't received a response as of yet. I'm heading out of town Friday and will not be back until Monday. I'd like to get this in the mail to someone before the weekend. Do you want me to pass it off to the next guy after TheTone or sit on it for a few more days?

[sreekers]

To JoseCuervo I have got a new mac with the intel chip and love it. I do a lot of editing video and havent had any problems whatsoever. If you have the money get Final Cut Pro HD it is the best out there, but iMovie still gets the job done without any problems. If anybody is interested in letting me edit some video I would love to put your hunts on DVD. I need the experience with the editing for my resume.

As far as cameras go I need to invest in one of my own here soon, which models have been tough enough to take hunting the west?

[IdahoBugler]

Ovis, send it to the next guy. TheTone will only be one behind. Thanks for the quick response and the comments.

Remember guys send your addresses to the guy in front of you so they can get it out quick.

[MarvB]

IB- I pm'd Ovis my addy if you want to keep it moving. I can watch and drop it back to Tone or whoevers next on the list....

[Ovis]

The disc is postmarked for MarvB. I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow. Thanks again IB!

[TheTone]

Sorry guys I was out of town working this week. I just sent my address to Ovis, so let me know if its coming to me or to MarvB. I think I already have Marv's address.

[MarvB]

Tone if it hits me first I'll spin it back your way asap and then it can go back down the line! -Marv

[TheTone]

Either way is fine by me. I'll get my address to you so that either way it will be coming my way. Looking forward to seeing it.

[schmalts]

I am next.. addy posted on page 1 or 2 someplace.

[Ovis]

Sorry Tone...I knew I wasn't going to be around over the weekend and I was just trying to keep it moving. MarvB should have it in another day or so.

[TheTone]

Hey its no real problem. I think Marv's sending it to me next so I'll get to see it. Looking forward to checking it out.

[MarvB]

Tone...It's coming your way today!

IB- Nice vid and way to stack up the chit there bud! See that you didn't get Moosie edited out of all the tape but there is always next time ;)
At least I didn't have to put up withe handstands and the "flex" :D

Best part for me was the Moose hunt with your Pops....something I always wished I could have done with mine before he passed. Your Dad was BEYOND excitied! The rest was good as well, only suggestions would be if your cam can take a wind screen to cut down on some of that mike noise?

Thanks again for sharing!

[Bwana]

Any chance of updating the list to see where some of the rest of us show up on the list?

[schmalts]

I would suggest doing what i did and start a seperate thread for the "list" and seperate one for constructive critisism. That way the "list" isnt so confusing

[MarvB]

Tone did you ever get Bryce's vid??- Mailed it to you last Wed....

[TheTone]

It has not showed up yet. Hopefully soon, I'm looking forward to it.

[MarvB]

Should have been there on 5-1....does the mailman need an azzzkicking out your way ;)

[Curly]

I'm looking forward to seeing it too. I'll watch it over at WH's house. Do I have this straight: TheTone will watch it and then send it to Schmalts and then Schmalts will send it to WH? So, we should be able to see it in about 2 weeks, if WH has given Schmalts his address? (unless the mailman lost it between Cali and ID)

[MarvB]

Curly- Maybe the mailman out in ID-HO is watching the Moosie-Gunner-Bugler bear baiting/snack eating thread and waiting for the sequel....

[TheTone]

It came this week. I was working in the field (keeps office weight off) this week. I watched some of it last night and will finish it today and get it moving. Is Schmalts next in line?

[TheTone]

Schmalts,

I didn't get T-Bone's addy so its headed your way today. I'm heading to the post office soon.

[schmalts]

great. Whoever is next on the list will get it.

[TheTone]

Should be there Monday is what the post office said.

[schmalts]

Whunter is next and has given his addy weeks ago, i guess that is who i will send it to

[Washington Hunter]

Thanks schmalts, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Just about gave up on ever getting it, since I was only 10th on the list and that was 2 1/2 months ago. :eek: (I thought it would get around just a little quicker than that) Maybe whoever's in charge of this can let me know who's next after me.

[tnctcb]

i would like to get on the list. who is in front of me

[Washington Hunter]

ok...I checked and I have received mailing addresses for both justdada and bwana. From Idaho Bugler's list (on page 2) it looks to me like justdada is after me. Bwana, you posted right after IB posted the list, so I think you're after hunt2921. Here is IB's list:


Here is the order that was posted so far.
Mtmiller - Done

[Washington Hunter]

ok...I think I may need Idaho Bugler to make the call on who gets it after me. Looking at it again, Bwana posted after IB put up the list, but Bwana had over 100 posts, justdada didn't. I don't care who gets it next but don't want to go against proper protocol. :D

[schmalts]

Sent it out to T-bone today as instructed by WH because t-bone got skipped.
My review.... I liked it a lot. A few things i will comment on that i thought could be improved. First the sound quality of the beginning song was wierd. Sounded like it came out of a transister radio or something.
I think the slide show in the beginning was a bad choice as it gave away a lot of the story before hand. I would rather have seen it in the end as a re-cap.
I thought it was way cool that you had enough time and effort to take the camera out that much. One question, When your team took the double bow shot on the deer was it just the angle or was one guys bow a lobber and the other one a lazer? I seen one arrow arch in and over and the other one was like a death beam barely visable. The moose hunt was my favorite, i think just seeing your Pop so stoked made it real cool.
Great job all together. I hope i have a chance to make another one and use the opinions given on yours and my home brew DVD's for improvement

[Bwana]

Since I'm not that far from T-bone.....

Just kidding, just let me know where I am on the list so I can send my address to the proper gent since WH didn't want it. :)

[Washington Hunter]

Bwana, makes sense to me. T Bone why don't you send it off to Bwana since he's only one state away. Then, finally, Bwana can send it to me. ;)

[IdahoBugler]

Thanks schmalts. Ya I agree a lot to be improved and those are good points. Thanks for the suggestions. I never intended on anyone but family seeing it so they all knew what I had shot already. The song in the beginning was recorded from a dvd so I just recorded through a microphone as you can tell. That was the hardest thing about this dvd was the sound. It was tough and hopefully I can get better at it. I just have to get better software.

The bow shot you were talking about was kind of misleading because I was over the shoulder on the guy that looked like the arrow lobbed in. My dad was to my right about 40-50 yards and so the angle was different. You could'nt see his arrow until it was right in the frame so it looked faster.

The moose hunt was dubbed a lot. He was even more stoked then what the dvd shows. On his first fatal hit he just started yelling, "Now that was a fu*&ing hit, That was a fu&*ing hit." I had to take it out since family might be watching. Also there was other dubbing involved in most of the video. The one where Steve shot at the spike and missed I started telling get a fu&*ing arrow, hurry hurry. I didn't think people would enjoy that very much. Maybe next year I'll make an unsensored copy.

[Bwana]

I must have misunderstood WH, I thought you had already seen it. My bad, by all means send it to WH first.

Not trying to cause problems just giving you a hard time is all. No offense?

[Washington Hunter]

I'm not in a hurry. I thought it would be better and makes more sense if it goes from SD to ND, then to WA...rather than SD to WA and back to ND. I think justdada would be next, and he's in NJ. I like to be efficient. :D So T Bone, if it's ok with you, why don't you send it to your neighbor Bwana in ND...

[T Bone]

ok.

the current and near future order is schmalts, t bone, bwana, washington hunter.

bwana, please send me an im with you address.

[T Bone]

Received the dvd and watched it tonight. It's great! Jacks me up to get out and get a decent bull elk again.

Overall Bryce, its very nicely done. Very smart thinking capturing the priceless moments. I've gotta start carrying around the camera more.

Bwana, I received your address and it will be going in the mail Monday.

[Moosie]

Tbone.. I'll have it on your Sheep hunt this year...........

[Bwana]

Washington Hunter, send me your address and I will drop it in the mail ASAP.

It showed up in yesterday's mail and I made a point of watching it while repairing the ceiling in the family room (don't ask).

IdahoBugler, thanks so much for sharing this DVD of your hunts with us. It was cool to "tag along" on some hunts that I have never gotten to do yet and hope to have a chance to see this year's edition when you are done with it. Some cool footage and some great critters in their!

[Washington Hunter]

Bwana you are quick!

PM sent.

[Bwana]

Yeah, my wife tells me that sometimes too. ;)

Figured after jumping the line, the least I could do was to get it to you as quickly as possible.

It should be in the mail within the hour.

[justdada]

Ok I got the DVD last night and watched in right away (much to the wifes dismay, since it was during dinner), and I've got to ask... IDBugler, how do you still have a job? Seems you must have spent 3 solid months hunting!?!
Great video, thanks for sharing!!!
The wife says next year, avoid standing in the wind so much... ;)

So, who's next? Give me an address and I'll get it off to the mail.

[jkhunterid]

Sent you a p.m. with address. I was after you on the old list, not sure where everyone is now.

[Muleyslyr]

jkhunterid.....hook me up when your done man! I'll give you my address.

[cornfed]

I could be getting closer to the top of the list. Let me know who to send my address to when its time. thanks

[IdahoBugler]

Where we at on this guys? Do you have it jkhunterid? Just wondering so we can keep it moving.

[JohnSWA]

I didn't get a chance to see Schmaltz's video, but I sure wouldn't mind getting on the list to see yours! (video, that is) LOL!

[Ridge Runner]

I sure would like to see it also so can I get on the list also. how do you take care of the mailing address stuff?

[wyomuley]

I would like to see it as well must of missed this the first time it was posted due to the fact I was moving lol. Let me know who to send the Address to thanks.

[jkhunterid]

I sent it to hunt2921 he was on the list after me. I'll check and see when the wife mailed it. Working 12 hour night shifts I dont see the post office much.

[Ridge Runner]

Has the list been updated by anyone yet ?

[Hunt2921]

I got it yesterday I've watched it and it was awesome. You might want to take another quiver of arrows when moose hunting. Who is next on the list?

Nobody has pm me with there address.

Bevan
