The old days are over and the new age of marketing is here. The old day of all of the content coming out of a cave from some agency is over. People want a face, people want someone or something to look at and trust. They can't trust a company but they can trust a face and a story. That is our plan. On this podcast we talk about that plan!

179: The New Age of Media and Marketing

On this episode we are going to review another film. We have done this once before but now that we have started doing it, we have had several sent over for us to watch. We are going to watch it for the first time on the podcast then we will watch it again, break it down and reiew it. If you have a film you want us to watch send it in. Derek told us we could butcher it so here we go!

180: Review of Derek Craig's Film

Josh is a producer from NC who has been working on video production ever since college. He is one of the few guys that has been to college for video and film production. On this episode we are going to talk about what that was like as well as some of the plans we have for Josh to Freelance this fall with us.

181: Josh Lawler

We are all, well me and Ryer are huge Christopher Nolan fans so of course we had to go see Oppenheimer. We got to watch it on Wed as a group and here is our review of the film. I hope you enjoy it.

182: Review of Oppenheimer

Chuck and the CC crew have talked ad nauseam about how things are going in the hunting world. Now that we have done this for over 20 years combined we have seen the ebbs and flows but the state of the industry right now is.......how do you say...off. It is at a crossroads. There is nowhere for good content to live and the content that is out there is throw away content. Maybe we are too close to it but today we are going to talk about some of the things we have debated for years with you guys.

183: Chuck Belmore and the state of the Hunting Industry

In this business we have a term for a hike in to a location for a hunting trip. Generally they are 2-3 days into an elk hunt that is not going as well as we hoped and we want to get into more elk or something of that nature. I have a had a few of them on Turkey hunts too. When you take off with camera rig and a heavy pack in a general direction with an unknown destination for an unknown amount of time, those normally qualify as a death march. Ryer and Joe just got back from the Death March of all Death Marches. British Columbia Canada is a different animal and when you are there for Moutain goat, key word being "Moutain" its going to have several elements of suck involved. Ryer in particular found the suck. I told Ryer before he left this was either going to be the best trip he has ever been on or the worst. Special thanks to Bergara Rifles for letting us tag along on such an epic adventure. This is going to be a good podcast.

184: Death March

We didn't know what to talk about, so we just kind of spit balled this one. Topics covered (generally) are what Ryer has been doing to better himself professionally, namely reading books, subscribing to magazines, and intaking knowledge from industry pros. Caleb talks about the show he just finished (West Wing) and how Aaron Sorkin uses writing so efficiently to plant seeds, pull threads, and develop characters.

185: Spit Ballin'

Over the years cameras have improved and they have added features that make life as an outdoor content creator much easier and in most cases better. It has became a little more expensive with all the hard drives we need to buy now but in the end the content is worth the cost.

This week we sit down and talk to Ev and Jaime from Code of Silence. Code of Silence is a fairly new clothing and pack brand based out of Sydney Nebraska that was born out of the need for better comfort and more silent clothes for whitetails.

Joe, who you may have already seen, has been a part of our crew for the past year. He transitioned from working as a mechanical contractor into working in this industry as a creative. For anyone wanting to make the switch, or who has made the switch, knows how daunting making that jump is. We are talking to Joe about exactly what that looks like in a practical sense. This one is worth a listen.

198: Transitioning Into a Creative Job w/ Joe

I finally got some time to sit down and call one of my industry buddies, Tim Endsly from Livin' the Brand (@livin_the_brand) We got to talk about self filming, Public lands, Films, and just catch up on what we got going on this year. Tim has been at this outdoor media and content creation thing for a long time and is full of knowledge and insight. Check it out.

Episode #22: Tim Endsly

The fundamental question we all need to ask ourselves when we are in the field creating content, no matter what it is for, is are we a camera man, or are we a producer. There is a huge difference between the two. Trust me, you want to be a producer, not a cameraman. Listen in as I answer a listener question about how to get more out of his team that is out there filming. Long story short, it all starts with a purpose.

Episode #24: The difference between a Cameraman and a Producer

Got a message the other day wanting some of the camera functions explained. I wanted to go over all the buttons and basic functions of most prosumer cameras that are out there today but not only talk about what the functions are but how they work and also how they work together. By understanding these functions and their meaning you can use them to manipulate your image to achieve a certain look or feel. This is when you get to be creative.

Episode #27: Camera Functions

Pricing and how to price a job or yourself is hard sometimes. Essentially you are selling yourself and I am not good at selling myself. What it all comes down to is how much time is this going to take to complete. I try and outline just how I go about my process of pricing. Its not revolutionary at all but here it is!!

Episode #28: Pricing Yourself

Just got finished with a shoot in South Florida where I was filming some content for Mossberg shotguns and my buddy Chris Irwin was running the still camera. It was so good to get to be in camp with him again and get to work together on another project now that both of us are out on our own and getting to do what we love more and more. We finally got a little break the last night before we drove home to sit down and get a little more in depth on photography. I got to watch Chris work a lot on this trip and see what makes him tick. I wanted to pick his brain and try and understand his process, how he sees things as well as what he feels like makes a good image. Enjoy!

Episode #29: On Location with Chris Irwin getting a little deeper about photography.

Well the turkey tour for me is about to begin, well I guess it already has. I just got back from South Florida for the opener with Darrell Madden and Chris Irwin documenting Darrell's 38th and 39th Grand Slam start. We ran into a few hiccups since Darrell has never filmed any of his hunts so I wanted to use this podcast to go over how to properly set up for filming turkeys for the footage and not the kill. These are two very different things and Darrell soon learned that. Filming a turkey and getting the right footage for a show or film is a lot more involved than just getting one in close enough to kill with a shotgun. There is a process in which you must follow and be committed to or its not going to get you what you are wanting or needing. The set up needs to be the main goal, not just killing a bird. Commit to getting epic footage and dont take anything less. Enjoy.

Episode #30: Filming Turkeys (The Right Way)

On this episode we are going to talk to one of the guys I met early on in my professional career. Tony Kalil is the owner of Kalil Media based out of Springfield, MO and he is a super good dude and even more creative. I love getting guys like Tony on the podcast because they always have a cool perspective and make me think more about this profession and why it is we do it. Tony is one of the best around and has some awesome project going. Hope you like what he has to say!

Episode #35: Tony Kalil

There are a ton of simple things that can improve your filming in the woods but these 5 we think are going to get you further ahead/

1. Establishing Shots
2. Talking in the field
3.  Broll
4. Cut aways
5. Transitions from day to day, place to place, hunt to hunt

95: 5 Things that will make your hunting filming better

1. Know your camera (and all your gear)
    1. Know how to use them
    2. Know their menus and their buttons.
    3. Know where the rings and the functions of the camera are and what they do.
2. Pre-Production
    1. Do the work on the front end and do some planning
    2. Answer questions you need answers for before you are in the field and cant get them answered or are unprepared for them.
3. Get The Broll
    1. You can never have enough of this
    2. Get shots that move the story along or explain what is happening.
    3. All the little sponsor clips
    4. Leaves
    5. Gear
    6. etc.
4. Get the Dialogue
    1. Talking to the camera
    2. Getting the information
    3. Assume the viewer is dumb
    4. Who, what, when, where, why, weather.
5. Get Transitions
    1. How are we getting from one place to another?
    2. How are days changing?
    3. Are we getting the things we need to move the story from one place or time to another.
6.  Get the Establishing shots 
    1. Where are we?
    2. How do we get the viewer inside a place?
    3. How do we get a viewer to a location?
7.  Get the Scenics
    1. What does these add to your story?
    2. What are they?
    3. How do we get them? 
8. Always get the Recreates 
    1. The things that happen when the camera cant be on the hunter the whole time
    2. All the little things that make a story move along.
    3. Small details
    4. Tights 
9. Communication 
    1. Knowing what is going on
    2. What animal to shoot
    3. When to shoot and when to move.
10. Be a producer First and A hunter Second (if you want good content)
    1. This is hard to do but like we have said before this is a decision you have to make as to what kind of content you want to create.

100: The 10 Commandments of Outdoor Video Production
