Date: 07/10/2017
Time: 6am - 11.30pm
Number of People on Location: 2 - 4

Proposed Activities: Approved for July 10-July 31st

BBC acknowledges that this film permit only covers Basin Road itself. Any use of CBJ trails in this area are managed by CBJ Parks and Rec Department, which requires a separate commercial use permit and associated fees for land use.

We would like to have a roving camera operator with an assistant reacting to wildlife filming opportunities in and around the Juneau city area. They will be very low impact filming with a single camera on a tripod. They will be opportunistically filming wildlife encounters within the city and the surrounding area. Due to the nature of filming wildlife, determining exact locations can be near impossible. Therefore our camera operator will need to be reactive moving along or around the requested location.

Exclusive Use? No

Other Comments for CBJ Staff to Consider: Due to the nature of our reactive natural history filming we will not be in all the locations at the same time. Therefore we are applying for permits to cover the duration of our filming time. Though on many days we may not be filming in the locations we have applied for.

Scope of our production:
ABOUT WILD ALASKA LIVE
Over three nights, Wild Alaska Live turns the cameras on a must-see natural spectacle that plays out across the vast Alaskan wilderness, where some of the world’s most remarkable animals – bears, wolves, moose, orcas and eagles – gather by the thousands to take part in Alaska’s summer feast, an event never before captured live on television. Wild Alaska Live is hosted by Emmy Award®-winning zoologists, adventurers and brothers Chris Kratt and Martin Kratt, the creators, executive producers and stars of the hit PBS KIDS series Wild Kratts. Liz Bonnin and Steve Backshall, both of whom presented Big Blue Live, will join the Kratts as on-air correspondents.

A production of BBC Earth for PBS, Wild Alaska Live will visit several locations, including points near Juneau and the Tongass National Forest, where the team will look for black bears and bald eagles; the vast Kenai Fjords National Park, in search of orcas and humpback whales; and the wilderness of Katmai National Park, where brown bears and elusive wolves live and hunt. Wild Alaska Live will also introduce viewers to local experts who explore the relationship between Alaska’s First Peoples and the animals among whom they co-exist.

Wild Alaska Live airs on television and online over three nights, July 23, 26 and 30 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
