Just got back home and unpacked from the ATA Show in Louisville over the weekend. Chris Irwin and I went out there to talk some clients and look at adding some more work for 2019. The show was awesome and I got to meet so many of the listeners of the podcast. I also got the chance to go check out the Badlands film festival. I will leave it at that. If you want to know what I thought, listen!

On this episode we talk about what he is doing now, lighting interviews, being a stringer in LA as well as covering wildfires in California.

Storytelling is a subject that most people feel is hard to talk about or hard to explain. I do not feel that way. I think it is simple. I have talked about it time and time again in short form. Who, what, when, where, why, and weather. Beginning, middle, and end. Establishing shots, and transition shots. Those are the basics and if you know how to be creative while filling these boxes you are goin...

On this episode I have two of the members of the 8th and Tine crew on to tell a story about a really poorly executed deer hunt from their early velvet season in Tennessee.

Several months ago I was looking for someone to help me on a project and I was needing someone who could shoot and edit. I put out on add on the facebook page "Outdoor Filming Professionals" and I got several guys that wanted to be considered. The problem was none of them had a Production Reel showing me they knew how to do anything. Just because you have a camera and know how to roll video on it...

Its going to be a fun fall!

Ryer is back on the podcast with me this week and we talk about some of the Do's and Dont's of filming out west specifically for elk. We are by no means experts or seasoned out west hunting/filming veterans but we have done it enough to know a few things that have worked well for us in the past and as well as looking into our upcoming Wyoming hunt.

Been getting a ton of questions about this lately so I figured I would replay this one, hope it helps: Show Notes: The number one question is "hey dude, which camera should I get?" Well that is not an easy answer. It depends on several factors so in this podcast we talk about all the things you should consider before buying a camera.

This was an unanticipated podcast. I have been working on a project for a couple of days now and honestly it should already be done. I have been cutting, watching, then deleting things a lot. I am trying to get through this one before I go out of town again and it just doesn't seem like it is going to happen. So on this episode I sit down and talk through my process of when this happens. I am not...

Got my buddy Jim from 8th and Tine in the office today going over some editing practices and workflow. Jim is fairly new to the filming/editing game but he is wanting to elevate his knowledge and I am hoping I can help him even if its just a little bit.

I get asked all the time how I got into this line of work, and I always ask, do you want the long version or the short version? Well since I have a podcast you are going to get the long version.

On this episode we are going to talk to one of the guys I met early on in my professional career.

Just got home from a 16 day turkey tour road trip and I am getting some time to move some footage around and record a podcast. This is one I have been wanting to do for a while. I have went through a ton of gear in the last few years and there is some of it that has stuck out to me as being the best of the best. I am going to go over the stuff I use every day and trust. Let me know if you think I...

I put a lot of miles on my Tundra every year. I love my truck. I love having my stuff and my gear. Knowing where everything is, knowing what I have with me and knowing its dependable and I can make moves at the drop of a hat is worth it to me. On this episode I got into some detail on why I drive everywhere as well as try and stay awake on a really long drive through Houston, Texas.

Walt Gabbard is a good friend of mine and an industry veteran. This dude has been around the block a couple of time. He has seen the changes that this industry is undergone over the last 10 years and is in the trenches right now creating some of the best content out there for Mossy Oak's new digital platforms such as "Obsessed" and "Impulse". Walt will be a familiar voice to some of you that have...

While listening to the "Cleared Hot" Podcast put on by Andy Stumpf he talked about DO THE HARD THING. He was talking in terms of life and how doing the hard things in life are always the better way to success and being an example.
