Sound familiar?
A shelter dog meeting its new family. A hatchling reaching the surf. A rescue that empties a hoarding case. Your team sees moments like these every week, and almost none of them reach the donors who would fund the next one.
Adoption day, release day, the first walk outside. Shot on a phone, if at all.
People scroll past sad music. They stop for hope, personality and a happy ending.
Your staff and volunteers are caring for animals all day. Video is always next week.
“In fact, I didn't see anything that needed to be changed. ... I think it looks fantastic.”
Brad Nahill, SEE TurtlesIn their words
For SEE Turtles we filmed a night patrol on the Oaxaca coast under red headlamps, a sanctuary beach at release time and a caretaker who used to poach the nests he now protects. Twelve documentary cuts came out of it, each one Spanish-subtitled with a second translation pass.
One person, one Zoom call, three finished videos for your next adoption push or appeal.
