How Felis Creations Changed the Game for Wildlife Filming in India
Felis Creations specializes in wildlife and conservation programs for worldwide broadcast. Their films have appeared on National Geographic, BBC, Netflix, Discovery and Animal Planet. Their mission is simple: To capture the natural world.
Led by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker, Sandesh Kadur, the team at Felis has spent the last two decades exploring the Indian sub-continent developing one of the most extensive collections of high-definition stock footage, time-lapse photography, and still imagery.
Through the years, Felis has been exceptionally creative, competent, and competitive in the wildlife filming space. As a premier production house with access to incredible scenery and pristine animal sanctuaries, Felis has always been committed to securing the highest quality footage possible. That’s why, in the summer of this year, they decided to uplevel their game. With diligent research and a deep commitment to their craft, Felis invested in the Gyro-Stabilized System Cinema Mini 512EX Gen 2.
“The ease of getting stable static shoots and tracking shoots has been a game changer for us.”
On location, in monsoon season, Sandesh and his front cameraman/editor, Robin Darius Conz wasted no time testing the GSS system in some of the most rugged locations deep in the Indian jungle. During the initial set-up phase, GSS customer service, including Steve Rudolph and Adam Hanf, were there every step of the way despite limited connection and massive time difference.

Whether capturing up-close footage of the picturesque Bengal tiger or tracking a hunting pack of Dholes (wild Indian dogs), the Felis team is delighted with the stability of the imagery they capture with the GSS system. They have plans to utilize the system in all upcoming shoots both on land and sea.
