Do You WADU?

Welcome to your one-stop spot for everything you need to ensure that your clients leave with a perfect memory of their cruise, ecotourism or other travel experience. When you book, Kamala Appel, the Animal Video Pro, to come onboard, you get a video shooter AND enrichment speaker all in one member of your crew.

Why would I want to hire Kamala Appel, the Animal Video Pro, to be an enrichment speaker?
Well, let's see. When you book me, you get two skills sets for the price of one. I have over eight (8) years experience as a teacher in public schools and the community college level. I have taught children who don't want to be there, people with learning challenges, and adults who have paid their fee and expect to get their money's worth. What that means to you is that I am comfortable and capable of speaking to a diverse audience so that they feel pleased with the experience- I make learning fun.

How does experience with filming animals and wildlife apply to me?
We all know who likes to travel- families with children who love to see animals. There is a joke in the motion picture industry about working with kids and animals- don't. But seriously, two of the hardest groups to work with can be children and animals because their behavior is unpredictable, or as I would say, very spontaneous. I have a lot of experience working with both groups successfully, probably because I know how to bring order to a spontaneous situation. What that means to you is that I can anticipate the action before and as it unfolds AND roll with the punches, if you hire me as a video shooter.

Success tips from an experienced spontaneous shooter are important for those who are travelling to learn because a tourist never knows what to expect. So attending a short class where travellers can get video tips from someone who can help them learn how to be prepared for the unexpected, will be something that your clients will appreciate.

So who cares about all of your fancy degrees and ties to Hollywood?
Your clients may, when deciding to attend a passenger enrichment program. And more importantly, you can rest assured that you are not just hiring a hack with a camera, but a seasoned professional with a solid work ethic. I encourage you to review some of the clips and comments available on this website in the screening room and in the testimonials section.

Why should I hire a little lady instead of a big dude?
Personally, I think that men and women both have something to offer and that gender doesn't impact capability. However, there are advantages to a smaller body and they include: someone who can be discreet, squeeze into small spaces, and sometimes animals feel less threatened by female energy. However, I encourage you to judge for yourself by checking out the video in my screening room .

So how much is it going to cost me?
In most cases, I can participate as an enrichment speaker or a souvenir video shooter in exchange for full service travel accommodations. Contact me for details.
