From the Introduction:

"Welcome to the wonderful world of wildlife film-making! Whether you want to make wildlife films with your camcorder as a fascinating hobby, or are hoping for a career as a professional wildlife film-maker, this book aims to give you a good start. We will be exploring all aspects of recording wildlife with a camcorder, from choosing equipment, to shooting techniques, fieldcraft, documentary themes and post-production.

Making wildlife films ticks many boxes – it gets you out in the fresh air, is a creative pastime, helps you to understand animal behaviour and the natural environment, and involves you in documenting a wild world that is changing increasingly rapidly. For those who fear technology, modern camcorders are easy to use – pick-up-and-shoot, for those who love gadgets there is a plethora available, and for those who relish a challenge wildlife film-making presents many."

Reviews

"As a keen amateur camcorder user with a passion for wildlife I’ve been looking for a book like this for years. It’s answered many questions, given me loads of new ideas and all in friendly language I can understand. Various technical matters that were confusing me have been explained and I now have a much clearer idea how the professionals do it. I’m already getting better results from my camcorder and have ideas for movies queuing up in my head. I’ve realised how previously I was just pointing my camcorder at wildlife and recording – now I am making movies! I’ve even found myself contemplating a career in this field. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get more out of their camcorder – especially if wanting to record wildlife/nature."
