well i finally did it. we been out all week taping footage of the silver carp for a dvd that i have been dreaming about for years. its up to editing now but with the 37hrs of raw footage it has the potential of being an awesome dvd.Â* we taped over 10,000 fish jumping (over 1000 in oneÂ* 1min take). we have over 75 shots of fish taken in mid air and some stuff you never would believe except we have it on tape. to do this dvd i had alot of help thanks to everyone without their help we never could have gotten some of the one of a kind footage we got. the film crew will be getting with the edit crew in about a week(they have to film a show in colorado for American trophy hunters) and we hope to have a release date in the beginning of December.
Can't wait. I hope editing goes as well (and as fast) as you plan.
I can tell everyone there is a bunch of fish. Christine and I were lucky enough to get invited along to witness and show off our aerial shooting prowess. Turns out all we showed was a lack of skill. At one point though, all we could do was duck and cover. There were so many fish in the air that shooting was all but impossible. I nearly had my bow knocked out of my hand and my arrow was knocked off the rest twice, once while I was drawing back.
Sam told us that we didn't see the best of it. If that's the case, you're gonna want to see this video.
I have to give Sam and his crew a lot of credit on this effort. This wasn't a half-arsed deal. He had just about every camera angle possible and shot plenty of footage.
Hopefully, it comes together in the editing room. It will be hard to capture just how much of a riot it is when there are dozens and dozens of fish raining all around you. If it shows just a tenth of that fun, it will be a hit. I trust it will.
Good luck with the DVD Sam and thanks for inviting us along!
silver carp dvd coming soon
