The ‘Original Ten’ are my first ever documentaries. In the beginning, they were filmed on a GoPro & edited in Moviemaker. By the tenth video, I was using a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses, a drone and following a professional editing workflow in DaVinci Resolve.

These early projects taught me how to film, edit, and create stories. Over time, as my skills and equipment improved, so did my satisfaction with each finished piece. As I continue along this journey, I hope to continue narrowing the gap between my imagination, and finalised documentary.

Together, they form the stepping stones of my development as a wildlife filmmaker.
