Indiana Rattlesnakes
When I worked for Brown County State Park I began working on a documentary about timber rattlesnakes in Indiana. In my spare time I would shoot B-Roll around the park, our resident timber rattlesnake, and I even drove up to Pokagon State Park near Fort Wayne to get the story of the Eastern massasauga rattlesnake.
I've had this video footage sitting on my hard drive since then. I've been waiting to finish the documentary with more interviews, more b-roll, and a nice Attenborough-esque voice over.
I decided a few days ago that I really needed to do something with this footage. A longer documentary probably wouldn't hold most people's interest anyway, so instead I made a short (2:45) video that just touches the surface of these reclusive reptiles.
Instead of making one long, all encompassing, documentary, I am going to break it up into pieces. An overview, biology, habitat, and conservation issues.
Below is the first installment - an overview of the rattlesnakes of Indiana.
Enjoy!
