#HabitatUncoveR3D with Daniel Dugmore (danieldugmore.photo)

Cinematographer Daniel Dugmore spent more than eight weeks in Botswana’s Kalahari filming lions for an international broadcaster, where a changing landscape brought an unexpected shift in behavior. As water filled the typically dry landscape, it attracted what is believed to be the largest buffalo herd on the planet, prompting the lions to adapt and hunt buffalo almost exclusively.

Working with two RED V-RAPTOR Rhino 8K S35 and a RED KOMODO, paired with prime long lenses and the Canon CN20, Daniel and the team used a two-camera setup to capture the action from multiple perspectives. With a Land Rover and Land Cruiser often working simultaneously, they could react quickly when a hunt began. DJI Mavic 3 Cine aerials added another perspective, revealing the scale of the landscape, the buffalo herds, and the lions' hunting strategy.

The unpredictable nature of wildlife filmmaking is part of what draws Daniel to the field. From tracking animals and getting to know their stories to working with specialist equipment and navigating the challenges of remote production, he sees natural history filmmaking as a powerful way to build curiosity and change how people understand the natural world.

Daniel also supports the work of The Pangolin Project, an NGO working to protect the last remaining population of giant pangolins in the Mara. Learn more at thepangolinproject.org.
