Capturing animals on film is a 'tail' of the unexpected
China DailyDirector Zeng Hairuo Time and patience It is meaningless to talk about animals without the nearly ubiquitous human beings, said Zeng Hairuo, director of documentaries Roof of the World and The Land of Spirits, at the forum. Before each project, they consult animal experts, meet local guides including shepherds and hunters, as they have a greater understanding of animal habits and can find the places where animals show their hidden traits. When his team shot the yaks for The Land of Spirits, the camera crew stayed with the animals in Qinghai province for many days, and gradually could approach them. So the crew spent a lot of time accompanying the tigers, showing their respect to the animals, and let them get used to the presence of the camera crew.
