Hunting, And Shooting Videos
A few weeks back Phillip of The Hog Blog did a round up of some of the better efforts by American TV makers, at that most difficult of genres; The Hunting Video. It’s not easy. The ‘pro’ efforts are sometimes less engaging than the home-grown youtube videos.
The Music
Many film makers seem to share the sentiment of the Anti-Hunter that hunting is a highly adrenalised activity best given musical accompaniment by what I believe may be called ‘death metal’. This makes no sense to me whatsoever; I go hunting to walk around in silence, listening to birdsong. I expect you do too.
The whooping and back slapping is pretty tiresome. I will admit I did once snap my fingers to show my satisfaction with an uncharacteristically tight group, but I’ve never felt the need to whoop or high-five. Hunter X smeared deer blood all over my face, I can’t help but feel it was just because he wanted to. I was once the recipient of high praise of the Scottish variety “a welcome rest-bite from sheer suburban uselessness’, but usually, on this side of the pond, a firm handshake is all that’s deemed necessary.
The Dialogue
Most video blogs are awful because the person speaking hasn’t actually decided how to say what they want to say, and then when they slip up mid ramble instead of ‘mulligan-ing’ and taking the shot again, they either just repeat themselves or worse yet launch into a long-winded apology before repeating themselves. It doesn’t really work for me. If I were to offer a pointer; It may help not to mention ‘commitment’ or ‘tradition’ again. I can’t be the only viewer who switches off when subjected to rapid-fire cliches. I know you did this with your ‘daddy’ and you want to take your daughter hunting, yawn, there is more to hunting than sentimentality.
So, how to capture the moment on camera? How to show the people at home what goes on? Here are a couple of examples of how the pros do it and an example of a really inventive low tech way of telling stories on video.

At last a film of deer stalking in Scotland, that looks and sounds like, well, deer stalking in Scotland.
Enjoy, and comment if you’ve got any reconditions for videos that do something different with the the Hook and Bullet genre.
