A small UK team traveled to a city in Borneo to capture proboscis monkeys swimming across a river, dodging boats, fishermen, and crocodiles, using both terrestrial and aquatic filming techniques.
I’ve always found primates endlessly fascinating to film. Their expressions and behaviours grab my attention in a way few other groups of animals do, and the addition of a large fatty nose makes proboscis monkeys particularly charismatic.To film them, a small team from the UK were dispatched to a city on the island of Borneo where proboscis monkeys are present. Emma Hatherley , Sam Rowley , Ollie Richards , and myself had just over three weeks to capture what we needed.
The boat was our secret weapon, with its ability to keep up with the monkeys through forests and mangroves. The sequence wouldn’t have been possible without it, but even so, the boat team struggled to get near enough to film big close-ups. Shots of eyes, fur, hands and feet, and the nose, are integral parts of a blue-chip natural history sequence. It fell to me to capture these essential shots.
