"If
you are prone to that urge for the great outdoors and the call of
nature, but haven't yet got around to actually filming it, this
little book makes an ideal companion." Netribution
"Go
Wild With Your Camcorder is a real gem of a book. Beginners will
learn something from virtually every page, whilst the more seasoned
independent wildlife filmmaker will still pick up some nuggets of
information here and there as well as confirming the techniques
they already use. At £11.95 you can’t afford to not
buy this book if you are looking to get into this area of video
production or simply to improve your existing skills as a wildlife
filmmaker." DVuser - full review at www.dvuser.co.uk
"Go
Wild With Your Camcorder is an excellent book to get you started
in wildlife film-making. Very informative and easy to understand.
Well structured from beginning to end and a joy to read. A must
have accessory for your camera bag."

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."
