Have you ever dreamed of having your own outdoor television show? If so, Campbell Cameras Outdoor Videography School can help you take a big step toward realizing that dream.
Or maybe you would love to film your own hunt, or that of a family member, and edit those memories into a video for all to enjoy. Their Advanced Production class is for advanced videographers who want to "take their video skills up a notch."
During the Outdoor Videography School participants receive hands-on training from award-winning DrivenTV producer Pat Reeve. Campbell Camera staff members also provide their expertise. The three-day course begins with basic camera terminology and function, audio setup basics and lighting techniques.
You will learn how to film from an elevated tree stand with different angles for point-of-view filming, and get some tips on filming the elusive whitetail deer. Ground blind hunting requires different gear and techniques. You will learn how to film in tight situations with different setups for filming one or more people. Spot-and-stalk filming is also included in the course along with recovering the animal and recreating scenes not captured in the original action.
In addition, the course teaches specifics of filming in a boat for a fishing show. Learn how to capture underwater action and protect your gear from water damage. And learn how to use your camera gear while filming waterfowl hunts, including capturing your dog's point of view.
The Advanced Production class continues your education with storytelling techniques, show ideas, openers, tips on setting the scene, recaps and recoveries and much more. You will also learn how to shoot more dynamic scenes, the secrets of time lapse, area reference shots, logo integration and how to add motion with dollies and cranes. Studio setups and interview techniques are also covered.
Finally, you will learn how to buy airtime, create a media kit, gain and maintain sponsors and utilize public relations and social media.
The next Outdoor Videography class is Aug. 1-3. Classes are held at the Campbell Outdoor Challenge/Campbell Cameras facilities near Carmi, Ill. The price ($1,295) includes lodging and all meals. If you fly, transportation to and from the airport is not included. The local airport is Evansville, Ind. (45 minutes away); the closest large airports are St. Louis, Mo., Nashville, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. www.campbellcameras.com
