I want to make a nature documentary on urban wildlife in Denver CO, as a possible pilot to a series of nature documentaries.
How do I do this right?

If there were actually any cool animals here in Denver, I'd be inclined to join you.

I mostly want to show my creativity and ability to teach about natural history from example.
>Bison, deer, coyotes, waterfowl, songbirds, birds of prey, and other nocturnal animals are not interesting and neither is there interaction with a man-made environment.
you want to read the book "go wild with your camcorder" its a basic how to film and produce a nature documentary
Coyote Peterson it
Have lots of money for a good camera, preferably three cameras - one for tracking/still frame shots, one for walking with, and one for a drone to get good aerial shots. Your phone can work at the third, and you can use a quality go pro for the second, but you'll need a good camera with sound equipment like a boom mic & multiple pop covers. Aside from this you'll need a crew, obviously, and draw up some release forms for people to sign when being interviewed so they don't come at you later for money or something. Also look into filming permits, if you're going on private property. You can then move on to nature documentary guidelines. Remember that if you sell this you'll have to put it on your taxes, but that also means you can take the cost of documentary-only things off on your deductibles list. So if you only use the camera for this documentary/other docus then you can count it as a deductible. If you're not selling the film I suggest that you rent equipment DESU. Good luck.
