Looks great! I found all the transitions a bit distracting as well. But I thought it was too many transitions. Seemed like a lot of fades in the beginning, and then the flashes throughout. I'm I fan of using transitions as little as possible. I think we often like using a tool just because its there, and over use is easy to do. Just look at all the horrible HDR photos out there. I think you could have gotten a lot of the same feel with just plain ol' cuts during the clapping. Here are two articles I just read last week on transitions. The second is from 1996, but hold true today IMO. http://www.videomaker.com/article/17658-the-only-transitions-youll-ever-need http://www.videomaker.com/article/1209-edit-suite-transition-tricks Still, great work. Make's me interested in seeing what you do next!
I just needed something to go in that spot and ducks looked cool! No, we've got waterfowl hunters on staff and I planned to have some of that in the show, but the problem is they never send me any footage so, no duck hunting this year.
That's part of the deal with the Title Sponsor package. They get the first shot in the opener. I hope to be with BTC forever, but if I need to change that scene, I could. But I hope that never happens.
I appreciate the input Fitz. You're right...plane cuts to the clap would have the same effect. I'll keep all that in mind as I'm editing my episodes and I think I'll change the intro as well to get rid of the flashes.
As long as you have guests in your episode! Pick me pick me... :p Waterfowl guys that won't send in any footage? Should be one of the easier hunts to record.... Time for some new blood!
I'll hook up the trailer and head to Kansas when it freezes up here! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Yes, I do feature guest hunters. If you have any duck hunting footage and want to send it my way, I'll use it. For that matter, if anyone has whitetail footage they want send, bring it on. I'm looking to add staff in quite a few areas. I've got guys in MO, KS, IN, OH, AR and LA. I'm looking for guys in other parts of the country. PM me if anyone is interested.
