I have been using the search box to try to find Cchunters (designed our AR logo) hunting video that used an Elvis song for the background. It was probably 8 to 10 years ago that he posted it.

Is it still available to watch?

I remember that video and it was great..."A little less conversation a little more action....uh huh....

Not that I have anything against Christer (don't know him), but there are few things I find more annoying than a hunt video accompanied by rock music.

Ugh!

It wasn't your average hunt video it was hilarious...especially he giraffe... I don't even think there was much (if any) shooting in it at all...at least if there was I do not remember it.

I have been wondering what happened to our big Viking friend as have not seen him anywhere in some time.

Different strokes I suppose. I prefer rock music. Not just because of it being in a hunting video, but it's the music I find most enjoyable. That and the fear of my IQ dropping below 3 digits when listening to too much Country Music! Actually, ANY Country Music is a risk, IMO!

Personally I couldn’t care less what kind of music anyone cares to listen to. That is totally up to them, as long as they don’t mix it with hunting where it doesn’t fit! I like some of all kinds of music, except RAP, and not all of any kind. But no matter what kind is on a film it must fit the subject matter of what is being watched.

Listening to music and doing a well done film are two distinctly different things! In a film on African hunting, the only music I want to hear, if any, is African music, and that at a very low level in the background, if at all. Instrumentals, done on purely African instruments, is, IMO, the only thing that fits, and damn little of that!

Music in films is very important but must be done with a little thought to make it fit the activity being watched on screen! The only music that serves well in an elephant hunt is a little background of ”Baby elephant walk “ or “Down in Africa”! Even those two need to be very low and only strategically placed so as not to interfere with the activity being witnessed!

Nice to see that I am remebered, and I will try to get the video up later today together with an explanation about the choice of music and a brief info about what I am doing now. For now you can check my photography out at www.pixelwild.com and if anyone interested you find me on Facebook with christer@pixelwild.com

Ok, here is the video, please remember now that it was made 10 years ago and has not been edited since 2003.

Music came to the project after I showed my father and grandfather a 30 minutes version with us driving a car and walking etc and they almost fell asleep. Of course I was a little bit angry for that and my father said I needde to make it shorter and more interesting, he had experience from the Super 8 days. So one day while driving I heard the Elvis music "little less conversation, little more action please" and decided to fit the whole trip whitin the time that was less than 3 minutes. And that is the result you see above. After that I made 2 55 minutes hunting movies with more appropriate music but that is another story :-)

And about me, at the age of 39 (spring 2008) I got diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger and from 2010 I am retired, today I do a lot of photography as you can see at www.pixelwild.com and that work as medication for me, on the hunting side I hunt some roebucks every year and try to do at least one day at a moose hunt, but it is much less than before. Havent been to Africa since 2008 but will go there again, first of all with my camera.

Once I got the volume down to suit me, I enjoyed it.
Heck, if i'd put that together, I'd be proud of it.

Christer:

Good to see you drop by here. Best of luck to you in the future.

Hey Christer, good to hear from you. That diagnosis must have come as quite a shock at that age.

Don't be a stranger.

The giraffe seemed to like the music. The video was very original.

Hey Christer! Glad to hear from you, it's been too long since we heard from you. Sorry to hear about your illness.

Because of this thread I went into my office and got your film "The Big Viking in Africa" and watched it again. Good film!

Stick around friend and get well, we miss you!
