How to Tell a Great Story in a Wildlife Documentary

What makes a great story for a wildlife documentary? It's not just beautiful visuals, it’s the story you tell. In this video, I’ll walk you through how to craft emotional, impactful stories in your wildlife films using techniques I've learned from working on shows for National Geographic, PBS Nature, Disney+, the BBC... and from producing my own independent documentaries. We’ll break down the three-act structure, emotional connection, character development, sound design, and how to tell stories visually without relying on narration. If you’re interested in diving even deeper, I’m building a full wildlife filmmaking course that covers everything from story development and field shooting to editing and distribution.
