It's a tough gig to get into.............................Most companies are looking for experienced videographers with at least a couple of years in the field under thier belts. You will need to put together a good demo reel of your work and invest in some high quality camera equipment and then make as many contacts as you can in the industry. There are jobs to be had, but the industry is very clicky and it's not always what you know, but who you know. My best advise would be to get in the woods with your camera as much as possible, school is a good starting point to learn the technical aspects but the real learning will come in the field when conditions are less than favorable and the subject is very unpredicatable...............There are no re-takes in wildlife videography, so you need to anticipate what the animal will do before it does it and adjust accordingly...........Outdoor videography is very rewarding, but also very tough to do well, you might find you enjoy hunting more than capturing it on video once you get into it. Also the pay isn't great until you establish yourself and become well known in the industry...........expect to keep your day job for at least the first year or two as you probably won't be able to make it off the videoing income alone unless you supplament it with other areas of broadcast work.


Good luck, if you have any questions feel free to give me a call. My number is listed on my website.
