Canon 7D – Owlet Dolly Sequence (0:47)

Conservation Media — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:25:50 +0000

Here is a quick little sequence from our ramblings down along the creek this week. The sequence was shot using a Canon 7D and a newly constructed dolly that doubles as a solar panel support. Enjoy

Crossroads – featuring David Allen Sibley

Conservation Media — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 18:27:57 +0000

This is a short web film produced for Montana Audubon addressing the impact oil & gas development has on sage grouse, a species recently warranted by the USFWS as worthy of protection under the Endangered Species Act. This film includes interviews with David Sibley, Dave Naugle, and Amy Cilimburg.

Conservation Media Scouts the Big Island!

Conservation Media — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:57:41 +0000

Conservation Media just returned from a scouting trip to Hawaii in preparation for a film about feral cats overtaking the islands and contributing to the extinction of the 70 bird species that disappeared this century, not to mention the impact of goats, cattle, and mongooses. Wow. This trip was a real eye opener for us.

While casing the joint, we also captured footage that we knew we’d need for the film, including shots of this lovely little Apapane, an endangered native of Hawaii.

Stay tuned for updates on this project.

The Right Place – MT Audubon IBAs (9:01)

Conservation Media — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:02:14 +0000

This is the latest carbon-neutral export from the edit bay at Conservation Media. It took many months to get this one out, but it has arrived! We really like this piece and hope you do too. We have another, nearly completed piece for Montana Audubon which we’ll post here in the next few weeks. To learn more about habitat conservation in the the Madison Valley and Montana, go to Montana Audubon and Sun Ranch Institute.

EPA Video – Wetland Legacy (2:48)

Conservation Media — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 04:38:45 +0000

This is a quick promo piece Conservation Media put together for an EPA video contest. The film recently won TWO Silver Telly Awards, for Nature/Environment and for Cinematography. It was a lot of fun to make and we were terribly lucky to catch not one, but two acts of wetland predation to show how all the players are connected. We mostly dissected an older relatively unused 10-minute film we made a few years back for Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge. The new editing and shorter length work a lot better here. Enjoy and please leave comments.

This is a quick demo fresh out of the timeline. I’m putting together a film for the Sonoran Institute on the value of open lands in the American West. This demo contains a portion of a single interview. I’ll post more exports this week.

This is a quick demo of the sagegrouse stuff I filmed this April for MT Audubon. This will go into a larger piece which will be posted here as well as on the MT Audubon website at www.mtaudubon.org
