Filming a Hunt
Does any one here film their own hunts? I just got started and wanted to know if anyone uses their computer to edit the hunt. I have the Movie Maker 2 program and used it but i want something with a little more features,any suggestions, im willing to spend at least 100 bucks on software. also if you would like to see a filming/photograpy forum go to the wishlist forum and post in my suggestion.

I have been toying with the idea of filming my hunts and have a question or 2, if you don't mind my asking.
What type of video camera and where are you mounting the camera?
Thanks

Pinnacle makes some pretty good editing software for reasonable prices. Their $100.00 software should be all you need for editing film for your own personal use. If you were looking into it for anything more serious, I'd suggest getting something a little more upgraded. As far as the treepod goes, a good one is going to set you back a few hundred dollars. You need one with a fluid head to get any decent pre-shot footage. The cheaper ones are usually not stable enough to produce film of any quality. However, the good ones are usually heavy, relatively bulky and pretty much just a huge pain in the butt to get up the tree. Once you get them set up, and get used to them, they can be really nice.
Rob, is there not a picture of you {somewhere on this forum} filming with a GL2? I thought that was what you were filming with.

I do wildlife video and edit with Adobe Premiere w/pinnacle capture. My camera is a canon XL1s. It's fun editing. I add music, transitions and narration. I have also sold about 250 tapes to help pay for my equipment.

I use a sony pd-170 with a sennheiser wireless mic. I have probably over $5,000 into it. Its awesome! I havent got to much into the editing part yet. I plan on getting a system soon and I would love to get a HD camera. Believe it or not the gorilla tree arm for 35 bucks works pretty nice. Not bad for a starter arm. I am sure you will have a blast filming. I know my wife and I do.
Rob maybe be sometime we can film together you dont live to far from me.
