Smokey's Deer Lures - Star Spangled Introduction
| |||||||||
Based out of West Virginia, John "Smokey" McNicholas is a trapper by trade and has been making his line of deer lures and other scent products for over 20 years. The DVD we put together is basically the exhibit show that he puts on at many of the hunting trade shows in the tri-state area (Ohio, Pa, W.Va.). He introduces each product and gives some background and advice on its use. He also produces a line of "calls"…those tubes you blow into to make animal sounds in order to attract deer, coyotes, and other critters of the wild.
Very interestingly, Smokey opens all his demonstrations by plucking out the national anthem of his guitar, dedicating it to the troops. We added a little accompaniment guitar to that and put a collage of pictures and Smokey pickin' scenes together for an intro that came out very nice. It is featured in the "Client Video" section of this site.
Even more interesting was the staging. Three buck-head trophies, two stuffed coyotes and an assortment of other animal skins were arranged into a great outdoorsman's dream. My associate Pete Kringeta, did a great job of providing the staging area including lighting control and rigging. The video is for sale exclusively through web site http://warrencustomoutdoor.com, run by Paul Almashey, a Warren, Ohio based e-merchant that markets many other hunting supplies and accessories in addition to Smokey's line of products.
I was responsible for all video camera work, graphics, editing, DVD authoring, and packaging design. I also performed the additional guitar accompaniment in the featured introduction and also laid down other acoustic guitar tracks for the title areas. The DVD case front cover graphics are shown below. This graphic theme was also used for the DVD menu and title screens as well
