Filming from a moving elephant is a challenge, Steadicam or not. The above shots are from the documentary film Rhino Hunters.

Rhino Hunters was filmed on location in Sauraha, Nepal, documenting the plight of the Asian one-horned rhino, which suffered massive population loss to poaching during the turbulent decade of Nepal's Maoist civil war.

This half-hour film takes viewers inside the jungles with a team of conservation officials bushwhacking through dense vegetation to count Nepal's remaining rhinos. With unprecedented access to this rare event, we joined a team of 40 elephant riders on an expedition that echoed the royal game hunts of the early 1900's, but was focused on a critical conservation challenge.

To explore the economic and social pressures behind poaching, the film goes inside southern Nepal's Bharatpur prison, where dozens of poachers are serving extended sentences.
Up close with the elusive and dangerous rhino, the film reveals the strange beauty of an animal that evokes armor-plated dinosaurs while also earning the moniker "jungle unicorn."
