Bambi & CineViktor
Hey, I’ve been wondering how much film sets impact the local wildlife – do you ever think about the habitats around where you shoot?
Honestly, the wild is just background noise, a canvas that fades when the camera starts rolling. I care about the story, not the squirrels that chew the cables. If the birds interfere, we move the scene. The planet gets left behind in the credits.
I get it, the story’s the main thing, but maybe we can find a way to keep the wildlife safe while we’re filming. Even a little protection can make a big difference for them and for future stories. What do you think?
I can set up a fence if it keeps the crew from being distracted, but don’t let it mess with my lighting or the look I’m trying to lock in. The animals can live on the other side of that line.
That sounds kind of fair—just keep the line out of the main light. I’ll help make sure the fence is low‑profile so the scenery stays natural and the animals can safely roam on the other side. A little extra care goes a long way.
Fine, just keep it low and out of frame. I’ll watch the light, not the deer.
Got it, I’ll keep the fence low and out of frame. If any deer or birds get in the way, I’ll gently guide them to the other side. That way the light stays perfect and the wildlife stays safe. I hope the forest stays happy, too.
Sure, just make sure that fence doesn’t sit where the light hits the lens. The deer can wander off; the story must not get a second take because a rabbit decided to block the sun.
