I'm surprised to hear myself pondering what I'll write as a well-deserved comment, and thinking, "Beautiful behind-the-scenes documentary, it touched my heart." Whoah, who expected that? Lovely.
Having just got back from India where I met a man who was very involved with helping to stop tiger and elephant poaching this video gives me so many thoughts on how next year I can do a film about his life. Thank you Matt.
So well articulated and brings a great perspective on the reflexions during pre-production, which I agree, is soooo important ! Thanks a lot for taking the time to upload this.
Love these film breakdowns Matt. Hearing your perspectives and how you worked with the director to create the vision is different. Appreciate the work that go into these.
Hi Matt, I’m so glad I follow your journey on this channel. What a great behind the scenes look at what it takes to create something like this. It’s certainly given me the inspiration to continue improving and eventually to create the wildlife docs I want to be involved in. Thank you 👍
Matt, I watched this video, then found "Tigerland" and watched it, and then watched this video again. It was very helpful to see and hear how professionals prepare for shoots -- selecting cameras, lenses, filters, defining shooting style and philosophy. Shooting the photographic slides the way you did was novel and beautiful. I was surprised that Ross didn't exploit the surprising event in the third act. Was that because it would have been inconsistent with the otherwise relaxed tone of the first two acts? Or, did it happen after most of the editing was completed and there wasn't budget or time to integrate it further? As a verite shooter, it must be frustrating to spend all that time with a subject and then, when you're not filming, a dramatic event occurs that you aren't there to capture. C'est la vie! For anyone wanting to watch "Tigerland," I found it on Discovery Channel VOD through my pay TV provider. It's not on Max for some reason.
Thank you so much for these videos, it's incredibly valuable watching. When you shoot such large amounts of content do you shoot a compressed codec at all?
Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, on nearly all of my verite films, I’ll shoot in a compressed format. On the Canons, it’s always been XF-AVC. But now with the compressed RAW flavors on the C500mkii, I’m dabbling with either 4K or 6K RAW ST, if it makes sense for the film.
Love the explanation of small decisions!
Thank you!
Excellent information as usual Matt. The algorithm stop showing me tour videos. Bests regards from a Venezuelan follower in Panama!

Hi Matt is there any where I can buy or watch a Tigerland in UK?
I’m not sure unfortunately… wish I could be more help!
