In 2018, an email from a colleague I hadn’t heard from in 40 years led me to a major project: producing video footage of Southern Californian mountain lions. This work was for the Apple TV+ production “Earth at Night In Color,” which helped Apple launch its streaming platform with groundbreaking content.
Technical Execution:
To capture this footage, I applied my deep expertise in Cognisys gear and nocturnal mammal camera trapping. My experience in creating still images and identifying high-action locations allowed our team to effectively utilize:
Specialized Equipment: We exploited low-light sensitive Sony 4K video cameras.
Innovation: We successfully captured color nocturnal footage of an urban apex predator.
Impact: At the time of production, these results were considered truly groundbreaking.
