Give your clients thekey to aperfectly fond memory;
bring Kamala Appel, a.k.a. "the key" in KEA Productions,onboard.

I have been aformal educator and taught K-12 as well as at the collegelevel. Now I educate people through film on the web and on traditional(old school) venues. I love everything related to the web, broadband,and the growing mobile venues. I am fortunate to be involved withsetting the standards as part of the Producers Guild of America, NewMedia Council and spend time traveling back and forth to LA and myawesome homeland of the SF Bay Area.

Meet Kamala Appel, the Animal Video Pro

You can also watch this on YouTube.


I love producing documentaries because it gives me a chance to learnand then challenge myself further by trying to figure out how to teachsomeone else what I just learned. My passion, as you might haveguessed, is anything and everything related to animals. My goal is tocontinue to help organizations that help animals by teaching people howto use video production and new media marketing tactics to increaseoutreach efforts. I am also available to teach ecotourists how torecord a perfect memory of their travels (because without video who canremember anything? I know it helps jog my memory).

When I watch footage from my first feature of the animals I workedwith, I can't help but smile as I recall the lemur whojumped on my head as another claimed my tripod as his own; or thecheetah who attacked me and tore up my layers of jackets (thankgoodness it was cold) ; or the elephant seal pup who looked at meimploringly to help him bust out of the holding area and return to theocean... So many memories, I feel fortunate to be able to remember themperfectly at any time and now all of your clients can too- Let me showthem how or, if you prefer, I can record the sights and sounds of theexperience for them to take home.
