Andy Hirst |
Since
1994 Andy Hirst has been involved in filming and sound recording
birds on several continents for BirdGuides Ltd. Planning and
executing filming trips to the states, Canada, Israel and throughout
the UK, filming target species for BirdGuides' products and archive
of bird footage. Originally using Hi 8 and progressing to Mini DV, with
experience of Digi-Beta SP. Because BirdGuides is a small company,
Andy undertook many roles involved with video, DVD & CD/ DVD-ROM
production, from planning and filming the initial footage, to processing
and editing the video & sounds, to outputting to CD-ROM or the web,
as well as compiling products. Using this experience Gone Birding
can from concept to final edited product, undertake commissions
for any short films or specific wildlife footage and output to a variety
of formats, with video suitable for DVD/ CD-ROM's, web sites, or broadcast
documentaries. We specialise in filming wildlife and especially birds,
using years of experience and expertise.

 (In
conjunction with SK58 Birders) We have the latest Mini DV equipment, the
best format for wildlife filming
as it is relatively light and portable, with broadcast quality images,
as well as the latest digital computer based editing packages. We have
just added a Canon 200mm F1.8 lens to our kit, this the fastest 200mm
lens in the world, which means we will be able to film even better wildlife
sequences. With excellent knowledge and experience of UK birds we can
undertake commissions to film specific birds in habitat, or film desired
behaviour. We have also obtained Apples latest editing, sound production,
and DV authoring software Final Cut Studio on a new, fast G5 Quad
core. |
