Claire is an award winning natural history Producer and Camera Operator from New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.
Claire presented a guest seminar, live from South Australia, on Monday 30th November 2020 11 am (UK time). Claire talked through the process of making a wildlife film, from idea to the pitch, writing, pre production, production, post & delivery. Drawing on her work on Wild Cities. (For a recording from seminar please message Richard Edkins on Teams).
'Over the last 9 years I've specialised in honing my skills as a story teller and shooter. I usually take my projects from development all the way through to delivery.
I am a versatile camera operator skilled at long lens, macro and night filming. I've filmed on extended shoots around the world in often challenging conditions. I often specialise in telling urban wildlife stories.
I'm a passionate conservationist and have a background in Zoology and a Masters in Natural History Film Making.
For my latest documentary I have spent 5 months tracking a never before filmed primate in Asia. This will be the first time this species has ever been seen on TV.
I believe at the heart of every good film is good story telling and I constantly strive to find the magic, the beauty and the quirky that is so often right in front of us...and bring this to life on screen.'
