Wild Canada

Making Wild Canada reveals how the intrepid and adventurous film crews went nose to nose with ice covered grizzly bears near the Arctic Circle, spent frigid nights on a frozen lake in Quebec to get just a few underwater shots of beavers coming and going from their lodge, and underwater and topside crews braved Newfoundland’s notoriously bad weather to shoot 18-metre long humpback whales. In a wide-ranging conversation, Jeff Turner shares his love of wildlife filmmaking, and some of the secrets of the trade that he’s picked up after 30 years in a challenging, but exhilarating line of work.

CBC and award-winning interactive agency Secret Location talk about their inspiration for making the Wild Canada app.
