Filming for the Terra Mater Production “The Leopard Rocks” in India’s Rajasthan province: four weeks, two camera crews, 300 kilos of equipment, five rock faces, a dozen leopards. A letter from the director Harald Pokieser: “Things here are pretty exhausting (monotonous and occasionally bad food, constant power failures etc.), but it is worth it and all I can say is: a resounding success. We have rare footage of the leopards, as well as other animals you don’t often see in nature documentaries. Even the camera traps work as planned.”
