CAMERA WORK

[knot for shore]

A small rant about hunting shows -

Has anyone ever wondered about the camera work as it relates to these hunting shows we see on tv? I mean, when the girl is sneaking up on the huge whitetail 100 yards out in the field. She's being filmed from the front and moving as she moves. I've seen what these cameras look like and they're not small. How is he moving in front of her (backwards) and not being seen or heard by said deer? Also, as the segment progresses and gets more "intense" before the shot, the camera shot goes from looking at the hunter to looking at the hunted. This either takes two cameras or it means the initial camera must stop rolling on said hunter, turn to the field to capture footage of said hunted deer and visa versa for several action packed minutes. Does anyone else see the irony to all this secret camera work so the deer isn't spooked? It just makes watching these shows unbearable at times. I'd rather watch a tree stand hunter / camera man than the field work.

Your thoughts?? --

I think they get the shot of the animal approaching, and the kill shot then they re-enact the draw, release and other footage.

Maybe. But it just seems corny to me as I watch in suspence.
