ABSTRACT
A true-crime documentary series about the life of former zookeeper and convicted felon Joe Exotic. The series focuses on a battle between big cat owners and other zoo keepers/would be conservationists, but centering on one woman specifically. The series was sensational, the characters themselves were so incredible that the people felt like they were straight out of central casting for a fiction show. There are many situations on set where sound is crucial and the environment isn’t easy. There are some films made without using sound recordists. The power of sound design many say, is taken for granted, and the work that they do isn’t always very apparent in the film i.e. the people don’t notice it. The old adage couldn’t be more true of never filming with animals or children, for the lack of control on set.
