Filming wildlife is one of the most rewarding and challenging ways to become closer to nature. Whether you’re a budding filmmaker, an experienced amateur photographer, or a seasoned video professional, this 8-hour Master Class is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to succeed with Wildlife Cinematography.
WATCH THE TRAILER!
Recent advances in camera technology have made shooting high-quality wildlife video affordable for anyone who wants to jump in and give it a try - especially advanced amateur wildlife photographers who are interested in expanding their skills into video. But simply owning the right gear doesn’t guarantee good results, and that’s where Doug Jensen can help you succeed. This Master Class will help you choose the right equipment (camera, lenses, tripod, etc.) and how to get it all configured properly for shooting high-end cinematic video. Doug also covers the unique challenges of setting exposure for video, focusing on moving wildlife, slow-motion, picture cache, audio recording, preparing for a shoot, where and when to film wildlife, choosing the best shooting angles, composition, tracking action smoothly (with an emphasis on birds-in-flight) and four chapters (totaling more than an hour and a half) just on processing and color grading your footage in post, so that it looks better than reality. If you’re ready to get serious about filming wildlife, this Master Class is as close to a one-on-one personal workshop that you will ever find. Sign up and get started today.

Oh how I love your clear and rational way of thinking and the way you express yourself!
Well, I try to produce the videos that I would like to see if the tables were turned. I'm glad my style appeals to you. Thanks.
I think it is the artistic results, which drivers photographers first and then the love towards wildlife.
I agree. And also the challenge of getting a good shot -- no matter what species it is. It is the chase that makes it worth it.
What beautiful photography. I love your work.
You have so much knowledge and a great way of teaching and explaining.
This sounds like a great course.
Thank you! I appreciate the nice comments.
Amazing Film
Looking at the vegetation around you and some of the footage you have here, I'm going to guess you're in the florida area, am I right? If so, that makes me happy. I've been having a hard time finding good places to film around Central FL, so if that's the case, this gives me hope that this state isn't actually so boring. I have to go explore more. 😊
Hi Josh, you're right. I've lived on central Florida for about 5 years and the variety of wildlife that can be found here is one of the reasons I chose this area. If you're looking for shooting locations, a good place to start would be Merritt Island, Black Point Drive, and Orlando Wetlands. Good luck and have fun!
Super presentation, amazing project. I truly love the way you work. I'm just discivering your chain and of course I'm subscribing. My first language is French but I have enough knowledge in English to follow you. So Sir thanks to share. This will be very interesting
Thank you very much for the kind words. J'espère que vous apprécierez la série de vidéos et qu'elle vous aidera à filmer de superbes images de la faune !
Really enjoyed your videos. Just wondering if a Sony a7IV with a 200-600mm lens be a good start-up combo. Thanks
Hi Agnes, yes that would be a very good combo (with the right settings) for wildlife. I'm doing a lot of wildlife shooting lately with my Sony A1, which is almost identical to the a7IV. So much more portable than by bigger cameras.
Excellent. Just rented the course! @@DougJensenVortexMedia
@@agneschan1484 Thank you, and I'm sure you will find it helpful.
@Doug Jensen - I am so hyped that you released this! Absolutely just in time!! Just last week, I purchased a Sony 200-600mm to pair with my FX6 along with a 2x teleconverter and lens support system with dovetails and all. Have been practicing filming Herons and am having a blast. Just signed up and rented the course. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Scott, I really appreciate your enthusiasm and I thank you for your supprt. I hope the series helps you to shoot some great video
@@DougJensenVortexMedia It absolutely is and will continue to help. Even demonstrating the proper method of balancing a Sachtler Flowtech tripod with Aktiv6 head had me practicing with my own same rig at 2AM. Game changing. I’m practicing now in preparation for my trip to Tetons in late September.
@@scottjohnson3017 Thanks for the feedback. I'm always interested to hear what specific information people found most helpful to themselves. I sure wish I could join you in the Tetons this fall. Spetember is the best time! Have fun.
what pan bar are you using with the sachtler fluid head?
I made it myself from off-the-shelf parts at a hardware store. I talk about it in chapter 5 of the master class: vimeo.com/ondemand/wildlifevideo
Hi Doug. I purchased your Sony FX6 course before, and I was really happy with what I learned. This course is also of interest, but I do not think I need chapters 1-13, as I am a relatively advanced videographer. Is it possible to buy sections of this material?
First of all, thanks for taking the FX6 course. No, it isn't possible to just watch the later chapters in the Wildlife Master Class and I would strongly urge anyone who signs up to watch all the chapters in the order that I put them in. I don't mean any offense to you pesonally because I don't know you or anything about your skills or expierience, but I've been teaching workshops long enought to know that a lot of people who think they have an understanding of some of the basics really do not. You might get more out of those chapters than you think. Again, I'm not saying that is true in your case so please don't take offense! 🙂
@@DougJensenVortexMedia Ok, just bought it
@@AquaticRod Thanks! I'll be very interested to hear if the first 13 chapters were as helpful as I hope they will be.
Hi Doug,
I'm excited about this course! I frequently travel to remote locations in Indonesia where I can observe rare wildlife, and I've recently started shooting wildlife. I noticed that you mentioned selling your stock footage on Getty. I thought you only uploaded to SS, AS, and Pond5. Is it worth uploading to Getty? Also, do you contribute exclusively to Getty Images or non-exclusively to iStock?
Thanks!
Hi Daniel, those are some really great locations to find wildlife. I'm jealous. 🙂 Although I have an account at Getty and earn money from them every month, I have not contributed anything new to them for probably 10 years. A long time ago they required exclusivity, but the payoff was that the commissions were much higher,. Now my average income from each sale at Getty is less than Adobe, Pond5, or Shutterstock -- which are all far easier to work with, too. So Getty isn't worth it. I explain how/why/where I sell stock fototage in this video: czcams.com/video/tGsDxHdbwgQ/video.htmlsi=dxSRfsepDIrfj9GK
Thanks for the reply, Doug. That makes a lot of sense. I also feel lucky to shoot wildlife in Indonesia. That’s why it would be criminal if I didn’t take advantage of my time in remote areas. I will check out the video now.
I've rented your stock footage course twice before. It was worth it. I'm now on my stock footage journey, slowly building my portfolio and earnings. It's great to have residual income every month. My investment in an FX6 camera and Sachtler tripod was worth it.
@@danielstassen813 Thanks for the feedback. Sound like you share my passion for this stuff. It's great when you can turn something fun into a real money maker. I wish you continued success!
