that was simply outstanding...how you managed to line up some of those shots, such as the owl in front of the moon, blows me away. what camera are you using for the long shots? I have been using a jvc hd100 with a nikon adapter and nikon MF lens to get the long reach. John

Thank you John! We´ve been using a JVC hd200 with that same Nikon adapter and a Red One camera with Nikon lenses. Also a Canon 5D Mark II for time lapses. Glad you like it!

Fabulous. Great selection of species, seasons and shots. - yum yum !

Is this material taken from commissioned films or films you are producing and plan to sell into the market !?
How much is RED? - Quite a bit I'm thinking?
Were all those heli shoots done using a gyro stabilised camera?

My reel now feels very small indeed :-/ ! Cheers !

Thanks a lot Mat. First of all congrats for your Wildscreen nomination, you must be excited!
Mostly of the footage is from our own developing projects, just a compilation of our work as cameramen from the last months.
The aerials were filmed with Cineflex.
Your showreel is very good indeed, wish you luck!
Best wishes

Alberto,

One word....stunning.

Some serious patience, early hours, late nights and excellent location scouting in there.

In your night sky take, it looked like you caught the passage of a night bird doing a fly by across the top of the screen!!!!

For a moment there I thought some may have been shot in Australia but I think, on closer inspection, it may have been Southern Spain?????? I'm intrigued as to where it was. The hovering bird looks very similar to our Nankine Kestral and the lizard looks close to our monitors but the colour differences in both are subtly different.

A pleasure to watch.

Lovely stuff! Must get back to Extremadura again. How can I post this Vimeo sequence to a group Facebook site. Love to share it with other wildlife enthusiasts,

This was stunning and beautiful !!!! A lot of work went into this !!! This was totally captivating, really I'm blown away by this video entirely and inspired to make improvements in my own recordings.

Absolutely amazing, got too get out and shoot more often :-)

Alberto. I am envious of your excellent work. Lot's of obvious and patient endeavour there. The composer of your musical underscore deserves some credit too. Brother? Father? or Cousin?

I too was initially prompted to think some shots if Australia were in there. The range silhouette at 3:19 has a near twin in the Pilbara region, also another in inland South Australia.

Thank you for sharing. Excellent work! Inspiring to watch on so many different levels.

Amazing work Alberto,

This is very inspiring, can notice your love for the owls in here as they according to me are the most difficult to get. Over all a great action packed reel with some amazing music to go with it.
Very nicely done.

Cheers

I enjoyed the transition from rain to snow, I will have to try that here in Florida. Great work.

A stunning reel. There must be a lot of work behind it.

what's the password?

Jonathan,

That's interesting, it didn't have one when I viewed it.

Hi Alberto


Whaououou! very very great job, all is good, picture and music. I think to recognize some places like, Gallocanta, Bardenas, Ordesa "Escuian", Riglos and other's. A big plus "por el Lince y el Quebrantahuesos".

Slowmotion and time-lapse are really very good. If you wish more informations for a long clip on "Quebrantahuesos" "Buitre" "Alimoche" i have it.

Thank's a lot for the pictures.

It worked...awesome. God I love a cineflex shot!

How hard is it to set up the cineflex? Did you hire or does your company own one?

Thank you all for your kind words, they really give encouragement to keep doing things!

Jonathan, the cineflex was hired and quite expensive. You really need a good pilot to achieve the best results, asides from your filming skills... but with some practice I think is the most stable system to film from a helicopter, or even other vehicles..solid rock!

Cheers!

good evening,

Well it takes more than great cameras to make great shots!!!

You have some awesome work here to be certain!!!!

would love to see a feature of your work on something special, like the goshawk!!!
