Filming safari adventures in more than 30 countries and
100 destinations over the past 30 years.
Exceptional Quality
All footage is recorded in high definition and edited using advanced software to ensure exceptional quality. The final version is exported in broadcast quality, Blu-ray format, and presented in a custom cover and box.
Passionate Conservationists
Besides filming hunting safaris, we are passionate conservationists and work alongside the Hunter Proud Foundation, Conservation Force, the SCI Foundation, and the Conservation Imperative.
The Osprey Filming Company has been offering personalized filming services to hunters since 1987. Initially, we focused on filming safaris in Zimbabwe. However, over the past 30 years, we have specialized in producing wildlife documentaries and personalized hunting videos worldwide.
Our previous assignments include filming polar bear hunting in the Arctic, Marco Polo sheep in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, blue sheep and golden Tarkin in China, and ibex in Sudan. We frequently travel to Cameroon and the Central African Republic to film bongo, forest elephant, and Lord Derby eland hunts. We also spend a significant amount of time in Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique.
We have filmed hunting expeditions in various countries like Spain, Romania, Pakistan, Macedonia, Argentina, Alaska, Australia, New Zealand, Mongolia, Turkey, the USA, and New Caledonia. Our cameramen are experienced and skilled in hunting and never interfere with the hunt. They work as part of the team to capture the best footage.
Our company has produced several hunting and conservation videos, three of which have won prestigious television awards in the United States. We have also created a hunting TV series called “Global Pursuits” for the Versus channel and worked with ESPN for “Chronicles of the Hunt.” As committed conservationists, we collaborate closely with organizations like the Hunter Proud Foundation, Conservation Force, and the SCI Foundation. You can watch some of our work with these organizations at www.hunterproud.com.
“The Fate of the African Lion” is a documentary that we produced and submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a deposition opposing the petition to list the African lion as an endangered species on the US endangered species list.
Our specialty is personalized hunting videos that capture the day-to-day action of the safari and document aspects that are generally overlooked by novice photographers. We use digital HD cameras to ensure the highest possible broadcast quality. Our six high-end editing suites are computer-based Apple Macs with cutting-edge video editing software. The final product is a professionally produced documentary with commentary and original music score, presented tastefully in a customized cover and box in both DVD and Blu-ray format.
Many of our clients have gone on to make commercial productions of their safari films. We can tailor-make your production to conform to the generally accepted format for safari films. We take care of the artwork for the DVD covers and then put you in contact with the video duplicator and distributor.
A professionally produced documentary of your hunting safari will be one of your most treasured trophies.
Safari Photo Journals
Osprey Filming Company offers a Safari Photo Journal that captures still-frame photos from your safari video footage. This technique is more precise and quieter than still photography. Field notes are taken to record all the action during the safari, and the photos and field notes are processed to incorporate them into a coffee-table-style photo journal with unique graphics. The journals are printed on commercial printers and express mailed directly to the hunter. A PDF version is also available.
