Wildlife

Guest Seminar with Claire Clements (Friday 11am 24/3/20)

On Friday 24/4/20 we will be joined by Claire Clements - Live from Singapore! (on UCW Teams - please email richard.edkins@weston.ac.uk if you don’t receive/ would like an invite)

Claire is an award winning natural history Producer and Camera Operator from New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. Please take a look at her work on her website and think of some questions. Please post any questions you have here ahead of the talk 11am Friday 24/4/20. 

'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.'
