Wildlife Filmmaking course by Top TV Professionals

If you’re keen to up the ante your wildlife filmmaking skills and master the craft – you should take a look at this.

Bristol Wildlife Filmmakers have teamed up with Avon Wildlife Trust to offer a rare chance to learn wildlife filmmaking skills in the 250-acre nature reserve at Folly Farm between Bristol and Bath.

The three-day Introduction to Wildlife Filmmaking course is open to all – welcoming complete beginners and those who have some experience of filmmaking but want to learn more about the challenges of filming wildlife.  Our tutors all work in the internationally acclaimed natural history film industry and there will be specialist camera people, producers and editors teaching on each course.

The Mid-Summer course from June 23rd to 25th is based around Folly Farm’s wildflower meadows.  Unspoilt by pesticides and fertilisers, they brim with flowers such as heath spotted orchid, betony and ox-eye daisy, bees and butterflies such as the rare marsh fritillary, small tortoiseshell and marbled white.   We hope to see the resident barn owls in flight.

On the Late Summer course from September 1st to 3rd you will be filming in and around the ancient woodland of Folly Farm’s Nature Reserve and at nearby Chew Valley Lake where the focus will be on wildfowl and waders.

• Includes:
  • 2 nights accommodation at Folly Farm Centre

  • Expert tuition and equipment
• Max 16 participants
