    Hi Douglas, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and insight. It has certainly helped to provide direction on how to get noticed in the industry (and how hard it is). I have recently been making a portfolio of films on my RUclips channel, with my most recent work on the wildlife of Sumatra from my self-funded expedition there. I have other projects in the works too. I'm currently uploading full documentaries, but I also intend to make shorter showreels to share with potential employers in the industry. Do you have any advice on who to send my portfolio to? P.s - I'm also from Hampshire and have spent a lot of time in the New Forest, which is why I find your story especially inspiring!

    Hello Douglas, thank you for this. I am constantly surprised by the number of people from diverse backgrounds who tell me that the behind the scenes DVD extras from BBC or Nat Geo are their favourite part….a Scottish camera operator spends weeks of trekking to a location in Mongolia , spends 3 days in a camera blind for 30 seconds of Snow Leopard footage. There is huge interest, I have watched BBC Spring Watch BTS and was amazed at the seemingly kilometres of cables snaking its way from remote cameras to a production truck. I am really hoping that you will stick with this as many of us who religiously consume BBC earth and similar material are very interested in the “how” of it. Thank you for doing this.

    • @exploretheroad-douglasparker
      @exploretheroad-douglasparker 7 месяцев назад

      Hey there! It’s one of those things where it helps if you have it, researching stories requires a lot of paper reading and contacting scientists. HOWEVER, if you have made your own film (mini personal project film or big private funded film) about … gorillas … and you contacted researchers and made a programme. That carries more than enough weight to say you can research and create films. It’s not something you absolutely need to get the job, helps … but isn’t essential. But you need a plethora of evidence effectively that you can make films. That evidence can be our own projects , photography , science degree , volunteering with animal projects … anything.

    Hi. I have had this lens for about three years now and shoot it on both Nikon D2x and D4. It’s an amazing lens for the price. I believe I paid around 500£ for mine and it was like new. I shot it quite often with 1,4 Tc which still gives fantastic results. It can even go with the 2x Tc when placed on a good tripod and use proper long lens techniques.

    • @exploretheroad-douglasparker
      @exploretheroad-douglasparker 3 года назад

      Hey Igor. I think so yes, your canon should have a red dot on the mount like my 80d so you should be able to but worth double checking. If I am not mistaken your camera has a APS-C size sensor so the lens would turn into a more of a 100-300mm when you factor in the crop factor :)
