'GALAPAGOS'
Best of Festival
Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival 2007

Filmed by Paul Stewart, 'almost entirely...and that includes the wides',  with
the Lighthouse 14x40
(14-560/1120) Image stabilized, flat-plate mounted, perfectly tuned, HD lens, 
The film also won a Prestigious American US Peabody Award - hence this quote; "Horace Newcomb described
 the BBC/National Geographic production "Galapagos: Born of Fire" as one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen. 
That's quite an accolade from the director of the Peabody Awards"
.

The team have recently completed the award-winning 3-part HD Natural World series 'Yellowstone' 
filmed with specially prepared and adapted Lighthouse Varicam / 40x14 / infra red equipment
