Great stuff Doug with some superb tips for video, we kind of do it without thinking but I’ve certainly picked up some more tips for video, as mainly a stills shooter it’s been a great reminder for me. Thanks very much, been following you for as long as I can remember but have been out of touch with your work for a while so I’m sure I’ll catchup. Cheers Rich 👍
Thanks for another great video Doug. I was curious if the video was shot with a video camera or digital mirrorless . If it's a video camera please let me know the model & make. Thanks!
Love the video resurgence Doug! I'd love to see a deep dive on how you actually focus on subjects. I have a DSLR and autofocus, especially moving subjects, always seems to be lacking. Even on a professional video setup I'd be curious your techniques. I know you say you use manual a lot.
Such a good video - I think one of your best. When you describe every element of your thought process for a scene, it really shows how many variables you are juggling while filming even a so-called “simple” scene. Also your experience with this species really helps anticipating their movements. And the “shooting dirty” is a great tip.
I love this channelllll!!!! My I ask how you get these shots so close to the ground? Are you spreading the Satchler legs to get the tripod close to the ground? Or do you use something like a saddlebag? I love my saddlebag on the ground but I cant get any shots with motion=/ Thank you so much for sharing all these amazing tips! Must have taken years to master!
Yes I either spread the tripod legs out wide and low or use "baby legs" to get ground level. Sand bags do not work for video! you either need to be on a tripod or gimbal for smooth movement.

Great suggestion! I will do a video on manual focusing vs autofocusing in the near future.
Great stuff, Doug! Thanks so much!
