BBC Wildlife Producer Fiona Pitcher set to team up with Mirus Journeys and Wilderness Safaris for 8 day video workshop

In March 2016, BAFTA award winning wildlife producer Fiona Pitcher will team up with Mirus Journeys and Wilderness Safaris in Botswana to provide an 8 day video production workshop for wildlife enthusiasts.

Working alongside Fiona, guests will be taught how best to capture their wildlife safari experiences on film, as well as how to edit and present their footage and much more.

The course will leave attendees with the expert skills required to produce high quality wildlife videos, and they will also be able to utilise their newfound talent into a hobby – or perhaps even a career.

Fiona has twenty years of wildlife television experience and has worked on shows including Springwatch, Autumnwatch, Big Cat Week, South Pacific and The Burrowers. With both a BAFTA and an Emmy under her belt, she is the ideal person to pass on her wildlife video production knowledge to the public.

As well as winning numerous awards for her fantastic contribution to wildlife television, Fiona has worked alongside wildlife television royalty in the form of Sir David Attenborough, Chris Packham, Kate Humble, Simon King, Michaela Strachan, Steve Backshall and Nick Knowles – so don’t miss out.

Prices for the workshop start from £4735 per person sharing, or £5460 for those who would like a single supplement. Both figures include accommodation, food and local drinks, two safari activities a day, laundry, return flights from London and also all light aircraft transfers.
