Wildlife filmmaking, September 2024

September 2024 I had the pleasure to join Africa Media for the Wildlife Filmmaking program, it was truly an unforgettable experience. The program offered a great approach to wildlife filmmaking that was both challenging and rewarding. The instructors Shirley and Frikkie are both knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Shirley taught me a lot about creative and ethical filmmaking whereas Frikkie helped me understand my equipment much better and his humor filled the room with love and laughter. Aside from being great instructors they are also wonderful people that I consider now dear friends of mine. I loved going to Monkeyland, Birds of Eden, Jukani and Schotia. I saw animals I have never seen before and ranger Fontaine taught me a lot about the flora and fauna that u can find in South Africa. Personally I grew more in that one month with Africa Media compared to 3 years into my studies of Film, thanks to the personal assisting and guidance.
Definitely recommended! I will come back for the underwater filmmaking program in the future.. 🤍

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Funny enough of all animals I saw and engage with I the most scared of horses, but when I did the horseback safari I learned to appreciate and like horses and had a great experience riding one.
Pros
  • Living with 4 very cute cats was incredible, the guesthouse is very cozy!
  • Fun excursions with the team, especially monkeyland!
  • Shirley and Frikkie are good team, u learn a lot!
Cons
  • Food isn’t always the healthiest
  • Depended on taxi service to get into town, taxi not always reliable.
  • Unpleasant experience with a student that the team could have handled better.
