'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
