Where Do You Fit In?A wildlife doc producer discusses how to find your calling as a videographer

摘要

Creating your own niche is not an accident-it's a conscious decision based on lifestyle,drive,and a bit of luck.I never knew that all those mornings swimming offshore as a kid in Ft.Lauderdale-when Mr.Barracuda,a healthy five-foot specimen with a full set of teeth,would chase me from one reef to the next,following me all the way back to the water's edge-held a larger purpose.Mr.Barracuda taught me a healthy respect for the sea,which eventually led me to underwater filmmaking.My walks along Ft.Lauderdale's canals- looking for turtles,spiders,and alligators in the swamp-trained me to see the whole picture and led me to become a wetland specialist in California.My passion for nature and outdoor-life experiences transformed itself into an area of expertise:creating videos in the outdoors.Today,I am a natural history filmmaker.
