Thanks again for another fantastic interview. The wealth of knowledge and insight one gets from them is astounding. Since there's an 80's-style film revival going on, I would love to hear an interview with Allen Daviau. Would love to hear some of his inspiration, the DP's he looked up to growing up, and as well as his lens choices, filtration, and lighting from his classic films. Also, he has some great stories about working on Spielberg's "Amblin" short. Another guy I'd love to hear from is Hoyte van Hoytema. His work on "Her" and "Interstellar" is groundbreaking. Thanks!
Excellent suggestions! We will work on this for sure. Thanks for listening.
A really interesting and honest interview.
We appreciate that so much.
interesting but video won't play, only the opening shot. Commercials are there to see
I don't think there is a videot by the look of it, adds will always play as videos as they are imposed upon us!
This particular episode is audio only.

Making a film is pretty tough for beginners, even if you have all the gear you still need a story and then people to act in your film. Wildlife filmmaking though is so accessible. You just need a camera, a tripod and lots of patience. The drama will just happen, the animals don't expect to get paid and you can start off just in your local park.
That’s a really great point. Thanks for listening.

It is accessible sometimes when you are filming pigeons at a local park. But for example, if you miss or fail during a snow leopard hunting sequence maybe it never happens again during the assignment. And sometimes animals are very rare and very difficult to find. Animals don't have marks on the floor like the actors in the movies, and you cannot read the script before you press the red button. And if you fail once, fine but twice they will not call you back again.
@@jaumemartingomez1649 sure the level they are working at is just unbelievable in terms of expense/equipment/difficulty, you can't always do a whole bunch of takes or reshoots either. Wildlife filmmaking is accessible though in the sense you can do it alone, in whatever time suits you, you find yourself free one evening, then you can just go film, it doesn't require all the planning you'd need even making an amateur film, where everyone involved needs to be able to all meet at a certain date and time. You'd be surprised how much great wildlife you can shoot inside the UK just go to your local RSPB reserve and off you go....Even cities often have a lot of wildlife you wouldn't expect, and far tamer too, like urban foxes. If you have the time and money you can do things on a far bigger scale, if that's your thing, like fly somewhere like the galapogous islands. But stuff like that takes serious dedication.
