ABOUT Who is the Animal Video Professional? HOME       ABOUT        SERVICES       TESTIMONIALS    CONTACT   Do You WADU?      Give your clients the key to a perfectly fond memory; bring Kamala Appel, a.k.a. "the key" in KEA Productions, onboard. I have been a formal educator and taught K-12 as well as at the college level. Now I educate people through film on the web and on traditional (old school) venues. I love everything related to the web, broadband, and the growing mobile venues. I am fortunate to be involved with setting the standards as part of the Producers Guild of America, New Media Council and spend time traveling back and forth to LA and my awesome homeland of the SF Bay Area. Meet Kamala Appel, the Animal Video Pro You can also watch this on YouTube. I love producing documentaries because it gives me a chance to learn and then challenge myself further by trying to figure out how to teach someone else what I just learned. My passion, as you might have guessed, is anything and everything related to animals. My goal is to continue to help organizations that help animals by teaching people how to use video production and new media marketing tactics to increase outreach efforts. I am also available to teach ecotourists how to record a perfect memory of their travels (because without video who can remember anything? I know it helps jog my memory). When I watch footage from my first feature of the animals I worked with, I can't help but smile as I recall the lemur who jumped on my head as another claimed my tripod as his own; or the cheetah who attacked me and tore up my layers of jackets (thank goodness it was cold) ; or the elephant seal pup who looked at me imploringly to help him bust out of the holding area and return to the ocean... So many memories, I feel fortunate to be able to remember them perfectly at any time and now all of your clients can too- Let me show them how or, if you prefer, I can record the sights and sounds of the experience for them to take home. - Kamala BIO Kamala Appel earned a BA from Yale University and an MA from USC’s School of Cinema Television.  Kamala worked at some of Hollywood’s top companies, including Universal Studios, ICM, and Sundance, before she started her own award-winning production company, KEA Productions. She is a member of the Producers Guild of America and continues to receive recognition for her documentary and web videos. She has appeared on radio, television, and the web, all in a quest to educate business owners about new technologies impacting the media space. Kamala works as a hired gun, shooting with a video camera instead of a rifle. As a speaker, Kamala teaches people how to shoot quality video in a spontaneous setting that many travellers encounter. Anyone who has worked with animals or in a nature knows that it doesn’t get more spontaneous (unscripted) than that.
