Just watched The Grind
 

Man, you hombres really ramped it up this year!! Dude, I frickin loved it!! Excellent camera work, great footage.....it had drama, entertainment, lots of action....Showed the ups and downs, side to sides.....No hollywood, just as it is deer hunting.

If you were gonna hold a gun to my head and FORCE me to give some constructive criticism, I would say it bounces around a little too much.....I got a little confused a couple times, trying to figure out who was hunting.....But even that added to the drama, so I'm not sure I would have done it any differently.

BIG KUDOS guys....BIG. Ya'll did a really, really great job on that video. I already look forward to next years.

And Justin......Were those......PINK flecthings I saw?? You make me so proud....:)

Pretty much what mobow said about the choppy feeling in the beginning is my main complaint. Jumping around from bowhunting to shed hunting to bucks in the beans to fawns hiding in the weeds.

And Todd, I know you're not a big fan, but get yourself some scentlock or at least spray down with a scent eliminator. You get busted way too often by those deer. YOU SWEAT TOO DANG MUCH!!!:D

On the positive side, your camera work definately seems to have improved from last year. Looks much more professional by most of the crew. I like the velvet footage, specially when you find the buck in hunting season.

I really like the fact that you don't do any fancy cut aways, edits and all that Hollywood stuff. Over the shoulder shots is where it's at in my book.

PS It would have been a much better video had passunder:D connected on that monster buck.

Ditto to the last sentance in the above post!!!!!:D That dang Jason guy needs to learn to shoot.;)

Just ordered The Grind and a WKP short sleeve T. Can't wait to see what all the hype is about!:D

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

Jay, I saw the pics and walt told me the stories but dude after seeing the video..I actually felt my own stomach turn when the shot went low, and I knew it was coming...Don't worry, good things come to those who wait..

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

Guys, my hats off to you. I purchase quite a few videos every year and most I would clasify as "pro" video teams that produce a great product......The Grind beats them all.

I never really realized until the end, but not once did I fast forward through one spot on the video, watched it strait through late into the night....the others I purchase, even though I do like the videos, I find myself hitting the fast forward button a few times.

Todd, whatever or however you compensate your editor/camerman, it isn't a enough. You drag him all over the midwest walking miles into stands just so you can drop your limb trimmer on his head.:DThis guy knows how to put a video together.

Your mix of the high and lows with a little humor thrown in is a great mix. Really like the tree stand shots from the ground seeing through the eyes of the deer. Cool.

Jay's shot and miss was priceless....still feeling for the guy, and that Dallas fellow is a blast. Would love to share a deer camp with him. Great sense of humor.....shows his true emotion when passing on the shot vs filming the stud.

All in all I loved the video, now let's get together and make a bear hunting video.....the WKP crew would be a blastgoing to abear camp in Canada!

I agree...some people say more cowbell, I say more DFW!

RE: Just watched The Grind

Thanks so much for the feedback guys! We are truly just trying to show our seasons as realistically as possible. As we continue to make these videos we are learning more and more everyday. It is our goal to continue to improve with every video - and feedback from you guys and practice is how!

Thanks very much for the support - we'll keep making them if you keep buying them!

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

Todd you guys have got it going on!!! Thought it was a great show!!

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

Great vid. Different from anything else out there. Awesome footage, as well as a nice editing job. Only "complaint" is how choppy the footage got at times. It seemed to jump from state to state winter to spring to fall back to spring. Hard to follow at times.

I LOVED the season lay out of your season Todd. Really cool to see what one guy does from start to finish, Kudoson a monster buck.

I will pick up Beyond the Kill sometime over the summer as well....looking forward to your next addition.

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

I also have to say that it is a GREAT video! I got it lastnight and i watched it 3 full times now! i love it, the only problem is, like others said it seems like it goes from Winter to summer to spring to fall, Thats the only downfall tho! everything else was awesome! keep it up guys

RE: Just watched The Grind
 

Just ordered it as well, hopefully will get here soon.

This may be a little off topic but I have seen some threads lately on what people want in hunting videos so I'll add mine.

I have always thought it would be a cool idea to have an average joe section on a hunting video. Something like a contest where regular hunters could send infoand clips of their filmed hunt(succesful huntsor bloopers like spooked deeror things along those lines)and the company decide on the top 1 or2 and include theclip within their video under "average joes" or "Customer footage" or some kind of catchy title(sorry not too creative). From everything I have read and seen about WKP you guys definitely appeal to the "real world" huntermuch more than othersI just thought I'd mention it, it may already be being done with all of the videos/shows that are out now.

AnywayI look forward to seeing The Grind and good luck with your next one.

Well today my boss who is a big hunter but doesnt usually like hunting videos told me that The Grind was totally different than anything hes ever seen and he really like it. Hes not generally the type to tell you what you want to hear. He said it was nice to see a video where there wasnt one kill running right into another.
