Sri Lanka, Elephant Island by Mike Birkhead Associates & BBC. Banner photo courtesy of Mike Birkhead, 2012. For this film I accompanied initial filming, introducing film makers to the site, the elephants, elephant behavior, and conservation concerns. It was a joy working with the incomparable Martyn Colbeck.
Elephant Ecosystems by Untamed Science on YouTube. This educational short animation was written by me and then animated by Rob Nelson of Untamed Science. I'd love to create more of these!
