A short clip from 'A MOOSE NAMED MADELINE'. We followed a moose calf growing up in Canada for two years, lots of walking on this one. The underwater feeding was the killer, it took all of the two years to get footage of wild moose pulling up plants underwater. Dave Reichert came up with the goods, but it took a full re-breather and a relaxed munching moose to get it in the can. I shot topside feeding with two canoes lashed together on a 500mm. For the tracking shots at the head we used the same canoe rig gliding with the wind on a 7mm - the frog diving in the lillies was good luck.
