Does someone produce hunting videos?
If you do could you mentor me in making them?
I work at a professional TV station run by the school district, and I have skills in digital and non-digital editing, camera work, but most of what I do is graphics.
I'm want to produce hunting videos after college. But I don't know how long I should wait to get started.

RE: Videos/Mentor
I did/do this professionally and I started with an internship while in college. I owe a lot to my time producing hunting and fishing television shows. I have moved into the advertising industry but I still produce hunting and fishing segments for various programs. My recommendation is do it, but to be realistic about it. Do not expect to get rich. You can make a modest living, but you have about a 1% chance to make a lot of money.
I would recommend getting tied in with another producer and tag team, or hook up with a manufacturer who wants to be involved on a promotional/distribution level and go from there. That way you share the cost burden.
Good luck.
