Wildlife charity teams up with filmmakers for new course

Wildlife charity teams up with filmmakers for new course Devon Wildlife Trust is offering a unique opportunity to work alongside professional wildlife cameraman, Tim Shepherd. The course in wildlife film making is set to take place at the Trust's beautiful Marsland nature reserve in north Devon. The one day course is aimed at beginners in wildlife filming and those who have their own video cameras and want to improve their techniques. The day will be spent in the scenic meadows of Marsland working in small groups. The groups will encounter Britain's largest butterfly, the silver washed fritillary; moths drawn from the surrounding oak woodland and a rich diversity of other wildlife which inhabits the reserve. The day will be led by cameraman Tim Shepherd, a wildlife filmmaker best known for his work on BBC's Life and Frozen Planet programmes. Tim said: "I hope I can inspire other naturalists to have a go at filmmaking. It's a great way to tell a story or get a message across. Modern digital technology and the internet allow anyone to make and show high quality films. Even just a one-day course like this can get you going in the right direction.' Gary Pilkington, DWT's Senior Nature Reserves Officer who looks after Marsland said: "I can't think of a better place than Marsland nature reserve for budding wildlife film makers to make a start and with expert guidance from Tim it should be a brilliant experience." The course will be held on Saturday 14 July from 10am until 5pm with lunch provided. The day's course will cost £99 per person. Filmmakers are encouraged to bring their own camera and a tripod although a limited amount of equipment is available for use, including a variety of lenses suitable for DSLR cameras. The course is organised by Bristol Wildlife Filmmakers for Devon Wildlife Trust. For more information contact: http://www.bristolwildfilm.co.uk or call Devon Wildlife Trust on 01392 279244.
