Wildlife filmmaker Chris Palmer shows that animals are often set up to succeed
“Shooting in the Wild,” published this year by Sierra Club Books, exposes the unpleasant secrets of environmental filmmaking: manufactured sounds, staged fights, wild animals that aren’t quite wild filmed in nature that isn’t entirely natural.
Nature documentaries “carry the promise of authenticity,” Palmer said, speaking on a morning stroll through the manufactured wilderness of the National Zoo. Nature filmmakers profess to present animal life as it is lived, untouched by mankind. Yet human fingerprints are everywhere.
Palmer’s book underscores the fundamental challenge of wildlife filmmaking: Nature is frequently boring. Wild animals prefer not to be seen.
“If you sit in the wild and watch wildlife, nothing happens for a very long time,” said Maggie Burnette Stogner, an environmental filmmaker who works with Palmer on the American University faculty. “That’s mostly what happens in wildlife.”
