rjimmer Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I bought a nite site about 2 years ago but found the glare from the screen too much. I've now got some screen filters. I've taken it out twice since getting the screen filters but both times it blew a fuse just as I was about to squeeze off on a fox. I've not had to charge the battery yet and now I find that there is no way of connecting it to the charger. I'll have to see them at the next fair to get an adapter. Oh, and even with my hearing aids turned up, I had difficulty in understanding what was being said on the video.

kingo15 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 From a anal point of view I hate wonky horizons whether that can be changed or not. Rather than whispering on camera have a voice over. not sure if it's your first attempt but overall it's there just fine tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Keep at it mate. I don't shoot foxes myself, but I do enjoy watching other people do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Never leave your high seat until you have finished or you are forced to. Do the picking up at the end then you don"t disturb more than you have to but keep killing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 cut out the long walk to the fox, bit tedious to watch if I am honest, Keep going though I am sure it will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Camera shake is something I can't watch. I realise how hard it can be to get a steady shot/keep the camera steady. I look forward to seeing some more of your videos in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRECISION SHOOTER Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi guys thank you for all of your opinions they are greatly received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 The intro was a bit long and ended abruptly - try fading the music or finding a shorter piece I didn't hear you mention what you actually shot the fox with - I'm guessing a 22CF but it would have interested me to know what you were using Video quality was a bit grainy - difficult at night I understand but it made it look very amateurish. I agree with the comments about having a VoiceOver but would say that your commentary was confident and clear. The whole thing was a bit long but as a foundation to build on and improve, it's a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Just personally but I would never show my vehicle registration number on a public video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I can't comment on the shooting as I don't shoot foxes but on the production and editorial side I would offer a couple of bits of advice; firstly only include what is relevant to the narrative or of interest and make the less action packed bits more interesting with short cutaways (sometimes means reshooting at a different angle or position or pulling focus onto other areas, where possible use a tripod and avoid panning, zooming and tilting (or at least use very sparingly), as said use voiceover to reduce volume fluctuations, if you can shoot or upload to a higher resolution it will look more professional too. Apart from that it was good, it had an intro, middle and conclusion and a fair bit of informstion too. I probably would have avoided the spilt guts being too prominent but that is up to you, after all pest control isn't flower arranging, but it can put people off. It is worth looking at the popular channels on YouTube to analyse how they film and edit there videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Pretty good but you could have done with doing the commentary afterwards by recording a 'voice over' and putting it in with imovie. That way you wouldn't have had to worry about whispering etc. Also you pinched my theme music! Not a problem but it ended a little abruptly, you may have done better editing it a little so is sort of ended naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRECISION SHOOTER Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thank you very much gents I really appreciate your feedback and I will use it in with my next video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Precision Shooter - youobviously have the ability to shoot and also make videos. There are some nice touches and you can clearly edit. It is ten times better than I could have done and a very good first effort. No-one is being over critical - you asked for honest feedback. Take on board the advice and I look forward to the improved version. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I liked it. Really respect how you let the first fox pass and pointed out the shot was unsafe. Good video. I liked it.
