Hatari #3

Hatari-3, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. Many of the animal captures shown in HATARI involve high-speed chases, with the animals being snared or lassoed while on the run. According to Howard Hawks, all the animal captures shown on screen were performed by the actual actors. Cinematography was by Russell Harlan who won an Academy Award nomination for his work. The filming was done under very dangerous conditions, with animals destroying three cameras while on location. Today, all of this action would probably be done using computers.
