That is something we will look at when we film with clients next. I think it mainly is because the client is paying for the video and camera crew in many instances so they focus more on him, and the outfitter may just have the rights to use the video for marketing purposes.
This is probably my #1...followed closely by funny dog & cat videos.
Very true, but you get product reviews for specific products, for the people looking to perhaps buy that item and not sure if its right for them. Thats more of the product review I was thinking of, not embedded in a hunting video.
Very interesting points. Something we will keep in mind in our future videos as well! I like the last sentence, its very true hahahaI enjoy hunting videos the most of those items listed, however, inside the hunting video itself, I really most enjoy just animals being videoed that aren't necessarily being shot. Seems the average hunting video goes like this: First 10% travel footage, next 10% shooting range footage, 10% accommodations, 50% actual hunting, mostly the stalk and the kill shot, 10% after-shot interview, 10% leaving/packing.
As such, I forward over all but the actual animal stuff. Bow hunting videos tend to include more animal footage, bc they are sitting around waterholes.
The reasons I watch African hunting videos: check out a new outfit, see the style and quality of the animals; observe the landscape (how many times do I see the fence, are the animals ear tagged, how does the PH maintain himself etc. Are there any interesting observations special about that area. I came to see the animals, not some guy talk about himself or his great shooting
Those are fair points.
Yes sir
I find myself willing to watch shorter videos but usually unless I’m really interested in the particular hunt or outfitter I don’t end up watching the longer videos.
