Recent advances in camera technology have made it easier and more affordable than ever to capture stunning 4K wildlife video. Whether you’re an experienced amateur photographer looking to take your wildlife work to the next level or a video professional wanting to expand into wildlife cinematography, Doug Jensen’s Wildlife Cinematography Master Class provides the knowledge and techniques you need to produce and color-grade broadcast-quality footage.

Having the right equipment is only the beginning. Knowing how to configure it, operate it, and make the most of it in the field is what separates ordinary footage from truly exceptional wildlife cinematography. Doug walks you through choosing the right camera, lenses, tripod, and other essential equipment, then shows you how to configure everything for professional, cinematic results.

You’ll learn how to properly expose video, maintain focus on moving wildlife, shoot slow motion, use picture cache, record high-quality audio, and prepare for a successful shoot. Doug also covers where and when to find wildlife, choosing the best shooting angles and compositions, and tracking fast-moving subjects smoothly—with particular emphasis on the challenges of filming birds in flight.

And getting great footage is only half the battle. More than 90 minutes of the Master Class is dedicated to post-production, with four in-depth chapters covering the processing and color grading techniques Doug uses to transform good wildlife footage into images that look even better than reality.

If you’re ready to get serious about wildlife cinematography, this Master Class is about as close as you can get to having Doug Jensen provide a personal, one-on-one workshop in the field. Sign up today and start creating wildlife video you’ll be proud to share.
