Possible Practitioner for essay

Simon King, a wildlife cinematographer, has caught my attention as being an ideal candidate for my practitioners essay. I can think of nothing more inspiring than following in his footsteps, travelling the world and filming the natural world.

I first discovered about Simon King after watching through one of my favourite documentaries, Planet Earth. At the end of each episode there is a section where the viewers are shown how particular sequences are shown. On episode 9, shallow seas, Simon King uses a high-speed camera to capture footage of Great White sharks totally leaping out the water and capturing their prey. I found this footage so influential and inspiring that i had to look at some of Simon Kings other sequences that he had shot. I logged onto his website and looked at his show-reel and this week i shall be watching many of the other projects he has worked on.

Here is simon king in his zone
