Living with Leopards

The jazzy funky music destroys the beautiful filming, and the cameramen miss the best parts of the action every time. Something big is happening and it suddenly cuts to the aftermath. In particular, when the adult Leopard males engage in a fight. They film them engaging with each other, then completely lose them when they fight and cut to them just being wounded afterwards. They also miss the cheetah chasing the young male. 2 major points of the narrative completely missed by the cameramen. This shows how unprepared the film crew are. Shame, because it's generally filmed well when slow moments are occurring. The main issue for me, however, is the shocking choice of music which distracts you from the narrative and beauty. Whoever signed off on the funky pop music should be embarrassed. It would have been so much better if the music was more ethereal and intense. I just found myself getting frustrated by it.

Absolutely loved this program. The dedication of these people is incredible. The photography was amazing, have never seen anything like it before. The only negative aspect was sometimes the accompanying music was a bit overwhelming and though I understand the purpose it actually took away from the commentary at times.

Otherwise this type of programming is just so wonderful and inspiring. Really makes you appreciate all living beings and the hope that one day everyone will feel like these people and become mindful of their daily activities to minimize the impacts that wildlife is subject to daily.

This is an exceptional documentary. I had to pause it if I had to leave the room because I didn't want to miss a moment of it. The story surrounding the leopards was intriguing. To form your work into a family of growth and adventure of the leopards is what makes it so interesting. You show how we can relate our own lives with the lives of a leopard upbringing and family. Also, you absolutely know how to capture the beauty of the environment. I wanted to be there with you watching and filming these animals. Please continue your work with documenting animals and creating the stories to coincide. I look forward to see it! I hope you guys win awards for this piece. Well deserved.

An exceptional film, truly shows the beauty that lies within the natural world. I loved how the film makers were able to intertwine their own personal lives with the lives of the leopards. Going into account of what it really takes to produce such a film. The long hours and patience along with the respect for the animals all together. I could truly feel their individual passion and love for nature. Making this more than just a documentary giving knowledge on a specific animal. Showing us how we ourselves are nature and can learn so much about life and what we've lost through appreciating this lovely gift that god has given but something that we often take for granted. Thank you for producing and sharing this lovely knowledge with us that many will never be able to witness theirselves!

Seriously, I love animal docs especially David Attenborough etc. Now I have this giant 99lb rescue mutt that loves them too. However, I cannot imagine how production and the crew feels while having to let nature take its course etc. Many times during docs like this I have to fast forward through the deaths- not predatory deaths but others. I am so proud of the crews that follow these animals and teach us so much. I have learned so much from you all and I don't think k you get e tough credit. I know it hurts your hearts to have to just leave it to nature. Sadly, that is natural. Thank you all for giving your time to film docs like this. It means the world to me.xoxo.
