Tommorow mornings hunt, newbie to filming

Tommorow morning I will be going out with a friend of mine to try to fill a tag. Ive decided to bring along my video camera, since I probably won't be shooting. Always had a fascination with watching Hunting videos, so I figured I'd try to make my own! Gonna try to do this from a ground blind since we both won't fit comfortably in a 2 man. Wish me luck!
 
Well, had some issues on with the ground blind this morning (since I'm not anywhere close to being setup to film in a tree) so I did not get a chance to film. Had my buddy (second time bowhunting) do what he could in the ground blind and I sat about 20 yards away in a brush pile.

About 715 started softly hitting some sheds together, not 30 seconds after that a nice wall hanging 8 pointer came out from the small timber about 50 yards behind us. He never came within shooting distance for him. 45 minutes passed by and started softly hitting the sheds together again and another buck, a smaller 8 point came not aggressively, but you could tell he was interested. After about 5 minutes of him standing at the edge of the timber in front of us. I started softly hitting the sheds together again and he begin moving towards us, next thing I know I hear an arrow whizzing out in front of me. About a 55 yard shot went headfirst into the dirt lol.

Couldn't help but bust out laughing, as my buddy admitted he just got his first case of "buck fever" and couldn't wait any longer. So needless to say, we will try again on Sunday....
 
I am just starting to film what I can. Its a whole different world. More crap to carry, have to worry about camera batteries being dead. Then filming light and legal shooting light is to separate things.
 
I usually take my backpack with me so packing everything in that wasn't to big of a deal. But I do imagine If I end up liking it and it is something that I want to start doing more, and invest in higher quality "stuff" that it will be more of a hassle to get everything to the stand and setup.
