RE: Filming A Hunt
1: Getting all the shots necessary to tell a good story. Everything usually happens pretty quickly and walking around to get all different angles will make the hunter want to shoot you.
2:Cameraman. Definitely. If thehunter has to shoot the animal with both gun and camera, heis only half as effective at each.
3: Hunters usually aren't actors. The audience can see right through them. It's your call, but acting greatly risks believability.
4:Ground. A lot easier to move to different angles and it's more exhilirating when you and the animal are on the same plane.
5:HD image is incredible, but a little bit more technical to work with than SD.
6: Yes. Half of a video is sound. Mics are more important than people think.
Ok, now here's a question for you. What are you collecting this info for?
