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!

[markmay]

Just what I was looking for. Can't wait to dive into the other videos. Thanks for the effort you put into this workshop.

[kathleencarrington]

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.

[healerscreek]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are very much appreciated! ❤

Doug, I just came across your channel. Wow! What a generous contribution to share workflow and expertise in this area. I am looking forward to watching the rest of the chapters. Thank you

Hi Doug! This looks like another incredible course, I'm looking forward to smoking it up. Just Got a Canon C400 and am digging into it. I couldn't be doing what I'm doing without the help you have so generously shared, and your wonderful courses. I appreciate you and think of you often as I go ever deeper into this journey.

@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!

[shadowbliss]

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. 😊

[ungavaproductions]

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

[agneschan]

Really enjoyed your videos. Just wondering if a Sony a7IV with a 200-600mm lens be a good start-up combo. Thanks

[danielstassen]

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!

[richardweeks]

what pan bar are you using with the sachtler fluid head?

[dharmabehera]

Does bird footage sales on microstock sites like shutterstock, adobe stock and istock ? Thank you

[AquaticRod]

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?

[CONSCIOUSCOMA]

I have a micro 4/3rds camera but I prefer my regular video camera. the 4/3 I can not run&gun with it like I can my video camera. I get a rush out of looking at a clip that turned out great. once you get your gear its one of the cheapest hobby /pastime you can do .

[Nesty]

I have 30 sec of pre recording. I’m not going to lie, it fills illegal to be able to never missed the action 🤣
