Growing Up Animal: Brown Bears by Boat, with Director of Photography Matthew Hood
“We filmed from a boat with the RED HELIUM mounted in the Cineflex on a jib arm to get the camera as low to the water as possible. This setup allowed us to give movement to the shots and the low angle helped to bring the audience eye to eye with the grizzlies and into their world. We knew we had to put in many hours to tell the story properly, which meant long days on the boat waiting for those little slices of life that reveal what it means to be a young grizzly cub. Having the ability to pre-roll on the Helium was a crucial piece in capturing intimate moments between a mother and her cubs. We shot much of the film between 48fps and 75fps, which helped to slow down those little moments and give them a longer presence on screen for the viewer to absorb.”
We would like to express our warmest gratitude to the Tsimshian community for allowing into their territory for this project.
