Wildlife Documentary Trailer

[PDM]

Hey everyone

I'm new to this site but I just recently finished my Wildlife Documentary called 'Over the Hill' based on the wildlife around my house in Lancashire.

Here's the trailer for the documentary:
YouTube - ‪Wildlife Documentary Trailer By Peter Morrison‬‏

Well done Peter , what equipment did you use to film ?

Well the trailer did it's job and enticed me in to watch the full video!

Nice work, particularly like the time lapse bit whilst panning and the hare footage as well.

You've done a really nice job there. The long version is excellent too.

[Porsupah]

Very nice! I'll be watching the full production later today. ^_^

One thing that I'd personally have done differently would be deinterlacing, as that doesn't really work on progressive scan displays, and consumes compression bandwidth that could go elsewhere in the image.

It also reminded me I ought to remember to take more video, especially of the rabbits I observe - stills only tell part of the story, after all. (Ah, for a day with a Phantom HD.. !)

thanks for all the feedback I appreciate it. Julian I mainly filmed with my Xm2 but I used my underwater flip camera to film the frog underwater seen at the beginning of the documentary.

really well made peter! exellent editing and camerawork and nice narration too! i too am a aspiring wildlife filmmaker, nice to know that the xm2 can produce this good quality footage, im getting one to use next month aswell as a sony z1 and a panasonic varicam 2700 and much more EQ, im doing a big wildlife video shoot in my uncles suburban garden. What other EQ did you use, alos how did you get soo close to the animals?

I got close to the animals by having a lot of patience and mainly being quite a bit lucky to be honest.
