I want to hear your opinion on what current "content creators" in the hunting space are missing when it comes to producing films or content for YouTube etc. What are they getting right? What type of films and content resonate with you as a hunter the most. This is obviously very subjective but I am curious how others feel on the topic particularly fellow Roksliders sense I feel were a unique subset of the hunting space. For some context as to why I am interested in this topic I'll share my perspective. I have always had an interest in videography/photography and dabbled in filming my hunts, mostly self filming. In 2017 I filmed my wife kill her first elk (she was about 6 months pregnant at the time). The motivation was mostly to share with family and eventually our kids, I threw it up on Youtube to make it easy to share but never pursued it any farther. I always struggled with impacting my hunting with the filming aspect and kind of just got burnt out on the whole idea. My interest in that realm now lies mostly in photography, keeping it simple and just getting good quality photo's of my hunts to share with my kids, friends and family. There is still a spark there at times to film something but I would have to have real meaning and purpose to go through the effort.
My personal opinion is so much of todays hunting content lacks STORY or depth, there are exceptions but so much of it is just highlight reels with no back story or gear promotions. Things have kind of went full circle from the hunting television days to the early days of Youtube and film tours like Fulldraw to where we are at now, its just being done in a different way. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this entirely I consume as much of it as the next guy. Not all content needs to or can be cinematic. Maybe its partly the space is so saturated now days but seems the push to constantly have to produce content were sacrificing quality for quantity. Again there are exceptions and it seems those really do stick out.
Thoughts?!
