OK friends - so here's the full version, which do you prefer?

Fact is, nowadays everyone wants it quick and they want to move on to the next thing. It seems 5 minutes or less now is the way to go for online videos?

2. VISION QUEST TANZANIA BUFFALO

This one!

Aaron, I agree nowadays most people including my kids like short videos but your intro on the longer version is excellent and captures ones attention so I much prefer the longer. Your telling of buffalo hunting is excellent. The only thing missing is butt or belly crawling to sneak up on them. You capture the long walks and frustration of glassing them and not finding a good one or them running off..
Excellent video

PS. I m leaving for SA and Namibia in 4 weeks for buffalo and I was shooting a dozen rounds with your old .577 this weekend for practice apart from with a 45-70 for quick shooting.

Ps

I must say I like this second one better, when I watch a hunting show I don't just want to see:

animal, hunter aiming, shot, dead animal

I like the lead up, the scenery shots, I also like how the talking isn't a sales pitch.

A bit more information either through the video, or in the comments about the location/outfitter could be useful for someone that looks and says "I want to hunt there" but I can also see that being detrimental with the anti's out there always looking for an easy target.


all in all: i vote 2nd video as my favorite, also like the california bighorn and will be watching others as I get the chance. the video editing and quality is simply outstanding

I guess it depends on your audience and demo.
I think for seasoned African hunters we would enjoy the longer video. Great footage and love the narration. I really enjoyed the 12 minute video.

If you are trying to get the attention of potential new African hunters and Millenials than the 5 minute video would be the way to go. My 13 year old loved the 5 minuet video.

Nicely done Video with clips from all over southern and Eastern Africa.
- American Style Ads are a lot
- There is no Nyala in Tanzania as you know

Otherwise I like it

Thanks guys - appreciate the input!!

I thought the video was excellent. Very well done, and the time of 12 minutes was not excessive.People are in too much of a hurry these days and the duration of the film was fine.

There is more to hunting than killing animals.I enjoy Aaron's hunts...always interesting
