I believe in my opinion that you would receive a bare minimum of an idea of what video is about with those choices of schools.

Try a community college who has a video technology program or a 4 year university who provides an RTF program.

Go to video makers magazine's web site, they have a school that will give you a great start on learning how to use a prosumer camera. It has nothing to do with the hunting industry, but you will be a better camera man after going. Then you have to apply it to your hunt. Knowing how to fully use your camera should be the first thing to do. I think the course is a full 8 hour day and costs less then $200.00

While I have been a subscriber to VIDEOMAKER MAGAZINE since its inception and am a firm believer that it is one of the best references for consumer & prosumer uses,
I don't think they're one day of instruction school will give anyone the tools they need to learn how to truly work their camera or shoot video.
That is something that will only come about by an established education and HOURS behind the lens.
You've also got to realize that the Videomaker 'school' is also going to be in a major market area that will bring in several hundred attendees and you won't get the 1 on 1 or even 1 on 25 person attention you would hope for to get your questions answered or learn about your specific equipment.
This isn't negative response------it's realistic.

You have to WORK at video like you do anything else.

I would recommend buying a video editting software and learning it....get a good tri-pod or arm for your treestand and cut some video...not to mention a 3CCD cam with wireless mics..A must.

I think you need to be in the woods and at your desk at home (editting)to really learn the art of video editting for hunts.....

My 4 year mechanical engineering degree only taught me to have dicipline to think and study...The really learning started whenI hit the field andfought my waythrough it....you will get mad and frustered but the end result will be good...

You make a good point..........I don't think you can truly become a great videographer unless you know the ins and outs of editing as well.

We will be hosting a camera school this summer sometime - most-likely here in SE Iowa. If you are interested in getting some information about the school when we have the details - shoot me a PM.

Thanks -
