Aitchison reveals what happens behind the scenes and beyond the camera. He explains the practicalities and challenges of the filming process, and the problems of survival in perilous places. He records touching moments and dramatic incidents, some ending in success, others desperately sad. There are times when a hunted animal triumphs against the odds, and others when, in spite of preparation for every outcome, disaster strikes. And, as the author shows in several incidents that combine nail-biting tension with hair-raising hilarity, disaster can strike for film-makers too. 650 0 $a Wildlife cinematography. $9 32288 650 0 $a Wildlife watching. $9 11769 600 10 $a Aitchison, John $c (Cinematographer) $x Travel. 650 0 $a Wildlife cinematographers. $9 655613 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft $9 64714 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909041131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AC54D30505611E99CDA2C4797128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
