I feel like I have lost about 10 pounds over the last 20 days up in the mountains with the Cabela’s team, but it was definitely a blast. I recently returned from back-to-back video assignments in pursuit of Rocky Mountain Elk for Cabela’s Ultimate Adventures that airs on the Outdoor Channel, the first trip took place in the Pavant mountains just outside of Richfield Utah and the second in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico. It was certainly tough hunting especially when you add in all the camera gear required for the show, but the Sony PMW-EX3 held up well in the rain, dust and rugged terrain.
On the last day we found a pretty spectacular overlook that was the perfect setting for filming scenes for a new product video that Cabela’s is getting ready to air. It took a little while to get all the jibs and dollies set up, but definitely worth it for this scene. I definitely got my nature fix on this shoot.
Jibs are a B%#@ to lug around in the field, but they do add a lot of production value to the shoot for sure.
Nice vista! Looks like you guys could see for miles…
That was a really awesome location our outfitter took us to, could see 10 miles in any direction. We had great light that day too.
