Animals in Focus is an account of the origin and development of a successful natural history film unit, Oxford Scientific Films. The book describes in detail how a group of young graduates came together to set up their own company, and how through a combination of perseverence and ingenuity, overcame a range of financial and technical problems. The excitement of capturing the secret life of an ordinary back-garden - the life of the blue tit, the spider and the field-mouse - and expressing this in beautiful colour film, is conveyed in full. The book is not only an account of the making of natural history films for television and elsewhere, but is an economic history of a commercially successful small business run on co-operative and independent lines. It provides an example for all those who wish to find ways of working in a creative and practical manner.
