pretty good. my 2 cents: 1- get a better audio setup. I think clear audio throughout would make a world of difference. (external mics) 2 - in the opening sequence maybe a much tighter shot of you and the rifle. I know I'd like to see up nice and close when you're explaining the features. Overall I think its pretty good. I like GA Precision's stuff, they are working on a GAP-10 for me right now. Can't wait! | |||

I thought the audio was just fine Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Entertaining! I liked it! Here's what I noticed: 1. Keep the sun in your face; shadows make the subject visually complex. 2. "Quiet the motion" of your hands & body action; this is most noticible in the opening scene. Also, use slower, more deliberate movements when highlighting the components & features of the rifle. 3. You have good knowledge of the rifle & shooting; you have few usages of "ummm", "and" "just" and other low-meaning words/sounds, which is very, very good. There's nothing more distracting to a listener than an ummm every 5 seconds! 4. Last point, but the most difficult to hone: sometimes a speaker will use a verbally awkward clause, whose meaning carries the implied "positive" but also conveys a "negative." For example, at the end of your video, when speaking about the shooting conditions that day, you say about the rifle "it shoots as well as I do, which is not very well a lot of the time." I myself have said a LOT of things like this, and people are usually pretty graceful & forgiving, because they know what I meant to say. Same thing here at the end of your video; the beauty of a video is that you can edit it, which you can't do when speaking live!  Again, nice video & very entertaining. I enjoyed watching! Best wishes, friar Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain. | |||

The audio can use some work, but it's not bad. Also from a professional point of, stand still. It can be daunting but when you stand still or move fluidly it portaits confidence. People want to stare at the product and invison themselves holding that rifle. Adam ______________________ Ammo, you always need more. | |||

 Your every day type a guy presentation was warm and real. The one flaw was that you at times were as bad as the rifle, or that's what came across.  Kinda like watching a good performance on Dancing With the Stars.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age!

Thanks for the input everyone. I have learned a TON from this first video. My public speaking is usually much better, and after seeing myself on film I notice a lot to improve. Although I'm semi-satisfied for my first video, the next should be a big upgrade. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

The audio is already enhanced as much as I can, at least without some really expensive software. The wind was blowing about 30mph a lot of the day, so I feel I removed a good amount of the noise, but I simply couldn't get it all. On a day with less wind, the audio should be pretty clear.

Here is a few comments: - Audio is adequate - Wear a different shirt. Wear something long sleeve with cuffs and a collar, ironed. Something in a nice tan or drab a'la Browning clothing. Look professional. Currently looks like a teenager and his buddies playing after school. You are trying to sell a tactical rig. - Don't wear sunglasses while talking into the camera. Just put them on before you shoot. Take them off after shooting and put them in your shirt pocket. Don't put them on your head. Again you are trying to sell a tactical rig, not a surf board. - Include picture in picture close up's on every shot. The first few shots without target close ups were boring because you can't see the hits. You blew the mood and vibe right off the bat. - Show your last longest shot at the square target first and move in from there. Finish with your closest shot. Give the audience the goods first. Give them the sense that this rifle can get the job done long range. Then as you move in to shorter distances its as simple as taking out the trash. - Lose the dubbed in comment about the "headshot" Just make the headshot. The presentation speaks for itself. Dead center, looked good! - Cycle the bolt as fast as possible and immediately after every shot. You sound slow and relaxed ejecting that brass! You don't have to shoot fast, in fact take your time and concentrate perfectly on your aiming. But after every shot make some noise with that action. It will give a sense of competence and control throughout the entire shooting process. | |||

Lots of helpful things there Corey, everyone seems to like the picture in picture, so that will be returning more prevalent than in the last video. Love shooting precision and long range.

The insets were really distracting during the trace video, especially since the insets came in with the shot. Due to the way cameras are made today, I don't know the solution, but get rid of the wind noise. One of the two pictures of the far distance targets is reversed and the group is never shown. If it is not great, then let folks know wind or bullet choice create problems beyond the shooters/rifles control at long distance. Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

Video #2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ajgqQQ&feature=g-upl This is a video working mainly on the video and audio work.

Better presentation on the 2nd video. I would lose the ball cap shades the face to much, tee shirt and dark glasses. Looking professtional goes a long ways. You are trying to sell to people who can afford a 3000K plus rifle. You/the company can afford professtionl looking clothes. You/the company can afford professtional back drops and not the back yard. I don't trust companies who come up with reasons not to shoot their rifles. You are tryng to sell the rifle all the other stuff they do to the rifle is nice. But worthless if they don't shoot great. | |||

Agreed. Better audio. You need to slow the commentary down Theres no rush you have all the time you need and allow yourself the breathe. Dont mummble. I prefer to see the eyes of the guy trying to sell me stuff.You don't need to dress up in a business suit but I'm not spending $4K+ with a guy dressed in a T shirt, jeans and Liz Taylors cast off sunglasses. Choose your location and back drop with care. A company that can't afford to shoot a demonstration firearm doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence regarding their customer service on which I might need to depend on some day. | |||

Here is a video of the Non-Typical. Conditions were very poor for shooting and recording, but we went ahead and made this video to show you even when our recording equipment isn't capable, this rifle is. I did get a very nice mic in the mail today, so audio will improve exponentially. GA Precision Non-Typical in windy conditions Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Please have some consideration to the moderators when posting more than one video. 1 video is okay but you have turned this into a bunch of advertising. | |||

Mods, is it a problem? Was just posting them so people could see the progress and give input, as I've been on the forums a while and this is a great place for feedback from likeminded folks.
