Hey guys looking to do a shooting test over a veterans day weekend and was hoping for some wide spread input.  There will be 2 cameras.  One will be pointed at the target a few feet in front of it.  The other is the angle in question.

Should the angle be from the

1 oclock in front of the muzzle

3 oclock pointed towards the shooters face

6 oclock towards the target with the shooter in the frame

I will do a test run on Sunday.  If you have an OTHER suggestion please get it in by then.

Go to YouTube. Look up The Wound Channel, owned and operated by WJ Purnell, ar15.com screen name 10_mm. He puts out tons of videos, watch them and you can see which camera angles you like.

He's a fucking ginger but his videos are decent.

How about something like this

That is a good example of the 1 oclock I was referencing

Quoted:
4:30, full rifle and target in frame.


the target will be shot at 100 yards.  You won't be able to see anything from there.  There will be a camera on the target as well.  

I have seen a lot of wound channel videos he does good stuff.  We are doing the semi light weight precision test shown here and there will be hundreds of rounds on video.  We simply want to have raw video of every shot fired.  We have a handheld camera as well as a few other go pros we can throw around as we feel we need.

I like the chopping block / blue falcon camera angle for ballistic tests.

Add a third camera, problem solved.

a third camera of what doing what?  The cameras will be running for a full test and we want to be able to use the others for side stuff.  I hoped to have one set up for a time lapse and another that we can set up at variable levels for adding different shots in when we highlight the test later.  

I like the 1 oclock because it shows some things well but the 3 oclock would be very valuable for anyone who wanted to see the fundamentals going into each shot.

Probably not what you want to hear but mixing it up is good.  If I'm watching somebody demo a position or technique I want to see it form lots of angles.

If I'm watching someone shoot the change keeps it from being boring.

For the rifle tests you're doing (if this is the subject) I guess it wouldn't hurt to get some from 1 & 3 to see the shooter but honestly I'm going to fast forward through some of the shooting to see the results.  Watching a guy put 10 rounds through a barrel in an accuracy test isn't something I need to do in real time.  

The videos that speed up the "boring" part to get to the meat are preferred for something that's not a demo.

Unlike some of these distrusting bastages I take tests like the one you're doing at face value unless there's some kind of hokey reason to distrust the tester or the results.

Looking forward to the results either way.

Thanks we will have other cameras that can do transitions and what not.  These two are hopefully going to be in place throughout the process.  No one will be in a position to sit and watch it all through because that would be pretty boring.  Instead it will act as a back up video record of the event.  I believe we have 4 go pros and a handheld camera with a dead rabbit to cut the wind noise.  I hope to use one as a time lapse and one to set over watching ammo prep and stuff like that while the other two carry out this stationary role.

I guess anywhere between 1:00 and 3:00 would work then.
