squirrel hunting with primitive bow video...
« on: February 20, 2010, 05:48:39 pm »
Hey everyone.  I just completed and posted my newest youtube video: squirrel hunting with a primitive bow.  The address is below in case ya'll wanted to watch it.  Let me know what you think. Was it entertaining?  Did it flow well? Did you enjoy it?  I'll take any advice or criticisms since I'm always looking to improve my videography/editing skills.  For those of you who love to hunt with your primitive bow, this one's for you. Anyway, here it is...enjoy!

I think it's very well done Billy.
the only thing missing is a kill shot  ;D

Cool video Billy. Very well done. The music, humor and scenery all fit right in together.  8) The country looks a lot like my club in Oglethorpe Co. Not quite as hilly as in the video but very similar woods.

Billy,
That was so cool ! Nicely done. Thanks for putting in such effort and time. I really enjoyed it. And it brought back fond memories of my first year hunting squirrels with my osage stick. I too had many close calls this fall, but no stew.

 Cool video, Billy. Now get to the range and practice ;). Just kidding, it was very professional and good photograpy.

That was a lot of fun to watch!  I appreciate how you listed your sponsors!

The music background during the changing seasons was a wonderful match.  Wish there was more like this out there on the Hook-n-Bullet channels, but all they want to show is hi-tech Horn Porn.

You get my round of Applause !!! I was THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINED and captivated by your work. If you're an amateur, you've got me fooled. The entire presentation had a nice flow and stayed on theme for it's entire run. What a cool deal - Thanks!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  And yes barebo...I am an amateur.  At least in video editing.  There were a few shots during the changing of seasons that were kinda shaky and I don't like, but that is something I'll have to improve on.  I tried to stay "on topic", but I also tried to make the video flow from one thing to another, and not become too long or boring.  It seems there is a lot of trash on both youtube and the boob tube, but I did my best to produce something worth watching.  It's really not very different than when I write an article: I'm trying to tell a story and entertain the audience, but also to try to teach them something.  The lesson I tried to teach ya with this video was....use a gun! It's way too hard to try to kill a squirrel with a primitive bow!  Hahaha....

Just kidding.  Anyway, glad ya'll liked it.  I plan on making more videos in the future!

Very cool. Thanks for the video.
