Elephant photographers

Filmmaker John Downer turned a bunch o elephants into walking cameras and used them to capture scenes of the jungle:


He fixed webcams to four elephants. One carried a "trunk-cam" – a device resembling a huge log concealing a camera which could be held in its trunk and dangled close to the ground.

Another had a "tusk-cam" hooked over its tusk. The elephants moved so steadily that the images are pin-sharp. Other log-cams were left on the forest floor.

The high-definition cameras were created by inventor Geoff Bell for a documentary in the remote Pench National Park in Madhya Pradesh in the heart of India.
