Good film goes back to the 90s obviously, but HD quality video in the field was likely cutting edge in the 90s; correct me if I'm wrong. More importantly the first shot is video shot though the front windshield of a moving car and looks modern-day video quality. Then the next shot is a little boy in the front seat of a car holding the moose in his lap. Would suggest the shooting to be impromptu, and highly unlikely high quality 90s.
I didn't know about the wildlife shooting tricks. I saw plenty of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Marty Stouffer's Wild America, not to mention Jack Cousteau. I kind of figured they'd use bait (you can't wait around and hope to get lucky when every animal is avoiding you). But the cool down the reptile trick is pretty nifty.
"Large predictors provided live game"; what's large predictors?
Oh yeah, love Grizzly Adams. Love the concept. Liked the TV series when I was a kid. Later found out Adams was a real person.
That's cool. What years did you do the wildlife photography? You do that for a show? You use digital? What sort of stuff did you shoot? Ever upload (or link it) it for viewing?
I took video production and later update courses. Did some video wedding work, and some volunteer doc shooting & audio recording, but never made it a career.
That's a useful course. When you think about it, many families will look back with fond memories they wouldn't otherwise recall if not for your work.
One of my best friends was a wedding and wildlife photographer as well.
My experience was way back in the 90s and 2000s, mostly with an SLR. At the time, quality digital was much more expensive and film higher quality. My photos and a handful of videos others took of my performances are in storage now, but they photos used to be published on a big website in my state.
West Virginia is known for it's natural beauty and tourism. Part of my jobs was promotion those programs in my county and traveling with those programs in this part of the country along with exotic wildlife from around the world. I had to juggle the programs and photography because it's hard to do both back then without proper videos equipment and help.
If you remember the Crocodile Hunter TV program, it was similar, but all live without retakes. Instead of Steve Irwin's promotion of evolutionism, I taught creation and the Creator.
I wish now that my friend, who happened to be a full time photographer, would have been involved and it would have had longer lasting impact. Perhaps there's something that the Lord appreciates about them and will be useful in eternity for His glory. I don't know.
