How to Make an HD Nature Video

Investment on some equipment is necessary. Besides the camera, a map and a camp, you will also need a portable charger in case of any battery drain, an external microphone if you want to do voice over and a rain cover to protect your device.

Always remember, safety is a priority. Natural areas may contain unexpected dangers. Getting familiar with the place you are heading and finding travel strategies may keep you safe. If possible, get a book about the plants and animals you are going to film so that you could know when and where is the best time/place to shoot.

* Plan your storyboard. Normally, an HD nature video should contain an opening, nature scenes, animal shoots and end, and information like the who shoot the video, where these scenes are shot, if necessary, a contact number or an URL.

It takes a large number of time to make arrangements. However, you can draw each scenes you are going to shoot on papers and film accordingly.
