I do have a bit of a nagging issue with the new strain of post-attenburgh wildlife film makers – Their programmes are about them making programmes, constantly getting their face in the frame. Its just one long audition tape to be the one who fills attenburgh’s boots
This.
When I switched over to this programme, I got the bit where he was in the box. Why was the box clear and not camouflaged in some way if not so the bear could see the food inside and oblige with some “dramatic” footage. Attenburgh did the same thing a few years ago and got far more entertaining footage with remote cameras inside football-sized mock up snowballs.
The only thing I can think of is that freelance wildlife camera dude is a tough market and every one is trying to outdo each other. But, as above, I’m not that interested in the X-factor Wildlife Extreme Cameraman of the Year qualifying rounds, I’ll just wait for the final and watch Attenburgh’ s crew pick it up. again.
