Western Outdoor Video School- Steve Chappell Matriarch Cow Call

This instructional calling video was shot at my May 2012 Western Video School. The interview was completely "off the cuff." The students did an exceptional job of composing the video with only 2 days of training. We also did some live in the field training. Come and be a part of our April 2014 class!

Scroll down to see what those who attended had to say about the May course...

Here is what attendees had to say about the course;

"I was recently blessed to go to the outdoor video school put on by Steve Chappell at the Glendale, AZ Cabelas location. Many of you know Steve from his guide service, "Chappell Guide Service" and his awesome elk hunting videos, "Extreme Bulls" series and the incredible "Elk Hunting with the San Carlos Apaches" videos.

His three day course covered a host of subjects from how to choose the right gear to how to create the best filming scenarios in the field for both TV and DVDs.

After taking his class it is easy to see what sets his videos apart from the many other offerings out there. Steve has spent many years studying the art of not just filming, but actually capturing the right footage in the way that makes you feel like you are a part of the hunt. During the three day class he shared many of his tried and tested secrets and actually took us into the field to demonstrate and instruct us on how to apply what we had just learned.

It was an entertaining and educational three days. I highly recommend his course if you are at all interested in taking your outdoor filming to the next level or just thinking about getting started."

"I attended the 1st class that Steve Chappell has put together this past weekend and what a weekend it was!! I was blown away at the depth of Steve's knowledge and passion he put's forth. It's easy to see why Extreme Bulls dvds are highly respected!! Jed Larson (SneekFreaktv.blogspot.com) contributed with his knowledge of camera work and Rod Miskin gave lessons of learned hunting scenarios that we all got to learn and enjoy from as well.. Guys flew in from as far as Washington to learn this weekend and had nothing but great comments about the information they received from this course. I had a blast with the company I was around and information learned. The course was technical as well as hands on and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is eager to learn more about videography!

Thanks guys for a great time and thank you Steve for always giving so much of yourself with the passion you pour into all of our shared interests!! I had a blast and would encourage ANYONE who's serious to join us next class around I promise we'll have a great time."

"I really enjoyed our Class. I know you have the patience of a saint!

I'm sure you were reaching the ends of your sanity, with all the questions & having to slow way down with my naive approach. It was great to learn your mindset to bring home the gold, as far as the Video / Editors dream concept.

I had a good time & your crew was full of good people as well"

"Hello Steve…How has it been going?…I wanted to thank you again so much for the Video School!! I had a great time with you and your guides. You all are really great people and very professional. I am very happy with everything you have taught me and I cannot wait to film this next year..I have over a dozen elk hunts lined up this fall... I have been purchasing my gear slowly but surely and will get everything I need by Elk season!!!. Someone told me you were going to be in Central Oregon in August for a seminar..My hunting buddies and I would love to come see you and learn some things at your seminar! I wanted to know if you were going to be there!! Only 3 months away from Elk season…Its time to have some fun!!!
