Behind the scenes #2 of the Oscar Winning Documentary The Elephant Whisperers

Living 6am to 6pm for 30 days with Raghu is still the best days of my life.

He became one of us day by day.
Personally, he was my naughty little brother. It was a very astonishing for me as the Sound Recordist to record all of his sounds. The breathing through his trunk, moody sighs, happy grunts, naughty laughters, bells around his neck, his trunk pulling out grass, immature chewing sounds....

Our cats of doggos at home loves belly rubs, right? But Fun fact: Raghu loves tongue rubs!!!

I literally rub his tongue when he lifts his head and stick his tongue out 😍

Could you imagine a baby Elephant almost size of us is holding your hand and walking with you?

It is one of the glorious moments I've had.

Even the rains couldn't stop us!

We had to film Raghu walk under umbrella with Bomman - Love of Man and Animal is just majestic 💞

And me in between my Passion and risk of losing my gears 💯

My most challenging and Adventurous experience as Sound Recordist.
