Behind The Scenes Filming Wildlife In Africa | Part III | Filming On A Gimbal

In this episode, the All Around Project Crew heads back into the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park in Botswana, to continue filming for their upcoming documentary, and are filming on a gimbal system to create more dynamic motion in their shots. We are using the Hydra Arm by Tilta to help us get smooth shots on the DJI Ronin RS2 and Blackmagic Pocket 6k Cinema Camera. We head all over the park, capturing dynamic footage, and even traveled several hours up north to Nxai Pan National Park to film lions at a waterhole there.

This is Part Three of several videos in a behind the scenes of filming wildlife in Africa series I am putting together from my trip to Africa. Wildlife filmmaking is such an incredibly rewarding and yet also highly frustrating job at times – however I wouldn’t change it for the world. The production I am working on is for the All Around Project – link: https://www.allaroundproject.com/ and I can’t share any details about the project, as I am under an NDA. But keep an eye out on their website for more details in the future.
