Robin Fisher on Science, Storytelling & Building a Career in Wildlife Filmmaking

I sit down with zoologist-turned-filmmaker @Robin Fisher to explore how science and storytelling intersect in the world of natural history cinematography.

Robin shares his journey from shark research and marine biology into film school and beyond, highlighting the lessons learned along the way:

✅ Bridging the gap between research and public communication

✅ Why systems, preparation, and workflow are the foundations of creativity

✅ Field lessons from kingfishers in Europe to crocodiles in the Philippines

✅ How every project, big or small, contributes to a professional wildlife filmmaking career

If you’re an aspiring natural history cinematographer—or simply curious about how science can fuel powerful storytelling—this conversation offers a candid, practical look into the realities of the craft.
