Animalis

This web series is produced by a Swiss Youtuber and his friend, a keen animal photographer. Armed with their cameras, Julien Donzé (alias Le Grand JD) and Fabien Wohlschlag venture into the forests to observe the animals that surround us – beavers, foxes, bats, badgers and reptiles. Julien and Fabien tell the story, share the adventure, and share their subjective experiences. On camera, they talk of their own escapades, reveal their feelings and uncover some of the secrets of the natural world that surrounds us. What does ‘Animalis’ seek to deliver? It aims to encourage a young audience to look beyond the built-up world in which we live and to reconnect with the world of nature. Each episode is dedicated to one animal alone, observed respectfully and discretely. The series consists of ten episodes - seven minutes each - and is the product of a national invitation by RTS to submit projects. This is the first time that RTS has collaborated directly with a Youtuber. In both its images and editing, ‘Animalis’ reflects both the language and rules of the Internet.
