#HabitatUncoveR3D with dreamwildfilms
Filmmakers _yazzellis and _jackmifflin are documenting the lives of critically endangered European Ground Squirrels in Austria, which depend on grassland habitats where the grass is kept short. One special colony has made an unexpected home beside a popular bathing lake.
To capture their fast, playful behavior, the team relied on the high frame rate and 8K resolution of the RED V-RAPTOR. A LAOWA probe lens enabled detailed and intimate macro shots of these tiny creatures, while a Canon 100-400mm lens on the V-RAPTOR captured young squirrels play-fighting in the morning light.
‘A Ground Squirrel’s Guide to Lakeside Living’ is a micro-short film by dreamwildfilms that highlights the charm of these unique grassland dwellers.
