Hey Guys, Just wanted to take a minute to share with everyone a short film I've been working on the last several months. I've made hunting shorts in the past, but they were your typical hunting short with me trying to kill a deer. There was really no back story, story line, or theme to the video. I wanted to do something a little bit different this year, and actually telling a story and portray a message with this year's film. Below is the result. Just a tip, to enjoy the film to it's full potential you must turn down the lights, turn up your headphones, and watch the video in full screen. That's all I ask! Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and comments. Enjoy! [video=vimeo;57336976]https://vimeo.com/57336976[/video]
I watched it on FB. Very nice job. Lot of cool shots. I like the time lapse at night. Also when you almost fell in the water Was this all done by you or did you have a 2nd man helping film at times?
Great stuff Cody! The only thing that seemed awkward to me was the shifting between black & white at the end. Top notch
Couple thoughts. You can film/edit a hell of a lot better hen JZ. Virginia is more beautiful then Illinois. You have alot more patience then I do. My equipment is junk compared to yours. I would like to see more videos in the future.
i did not watch it with the lights out nor would it let me full screen it.....for those reasons alone it just plain sucked...... kidding....really cool video man....you def have some serious talent when it comes to this kind of stuff....i always enjoy your videos
Awesome work, Cody! I feel embarrassed to even ask or give a recommendation, since I'm not producing this type or level of work. The fade ins where you shoot a scene, then bring in yourself, especially in the creek scene, there's an awkward jump where the camera position must have changed so continuity was a little off. Do you have a timer/motion control dolly for your panning time lapse? Again, really awesome work.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. I thought I got some nice video to edit in with a kill shot this year, but... I must have been wrong. 1- my scenery was nothing compared to what you have here. 2- no kill shot on video
Loved every second of it. Yeah I'm sure you got some amazing equipment, but your mindset, photo decisions and editing make it a true thing of beauty. Sweet!
^^^ I agree with Simon except JZ doesn't do the editing for BHOD so lay off the poor guy! I really do love your work Cody, wish I had enough money for a DSLR to get some of that footage. They really kick a video cameras butt when it comes to colors, time lapse, and other creative work. I know how much time it takes to edit something like that, so I really appreciate you sharing it with us. And the music picks were top notch as well!! Great taste!
Thanks bud! Couple responses.. I have more time on my hands than JZ. Virginia > Illinois in all arenas except the number of big bucks. About the patience, I probably have more time on my hands than you do too, mucho time to ones self helps with a project like this. Equipment doesn't tell a story! Hopefully there will be more videos of this quality in the future
