NATURAL HISTORY

The bar for Natural History programs is increasingly rising. Between the tremendous number of high-quality productions and increasingly high expectations for viewers to be amazed and captivated both the quality and subject focus must be extraordinary to capture the viewers' and broadcasters' imagination. At the same time, stock libraries must be re-filmed in high definition for use in HD projects and increasing opportunities exist for independent filmmakers to fill in missing pieces of larger productions if shot in HD.

Arctic Kingdom has worked almost every year on Natural History shows and appreciates the investment, risk and stakes riding on every shoot. We have searched the world for the best spots to film specific types of animal encounters, behavior, predation and nurturing and take factors such as animal behavior, weather, water clarity and natural constraints that affect behavior into consideration along with many others. We have designed many custom filming tools from towers to cages to railings and blinds and continue to add new custom tools and techniques every season. We work with producers and directors to try to maximize filming potential and define contingency plans to benefit from even marginal days in as many ways as possible.
