BUGS IN SPRING

Bugs in Spring is a 10 ́ test piece to examine the viability of wildlife film-making with digital equipment. Top cameraman and zoologist James Reardon, expert in film and HD equipment, drove it to its limits, producing some of the most impressively film-like photography from such equipment. Toured around various locations in Greece by TV presenter, mountaineer and environmentalist Alexander Chalkidis, he focused his zoological expertise on various aspects of the flora and fauna to create this short, instructive piece about the co-existence of plants and insects. The script and shooting were to a large degree improvised on location and the material then loosely edited around a central idea.
