      all fun and games until a group of dung beetles decides to steal the $50,000 production budget and roll it three miles into the sunset.

    3. Oh cool so now we can get up close shots of elephant dongs! Hurray for technology!

    4. Boss: Alright team how are we going to get an up close video of wild life?

      Engineer #1: I know. I can put a camera on a RC car and make it look and smell like a pile of crap!

      Boss: I love it! Let’s get to work.

      Engineer #2: Our cameras are already so good that we can zoom in from miles away.

      Boss: Meh, I like the other guy’s idea

      Engineer #2: But sir, I don’t see….

      Boss: I SAID POOP CAMERA!!

      This was from a series they did a few years ago called “Spy in the Wild”. Each episode they’d use a camera disguised as something different so that they could see the animals from their perspective. They made some really convincing looking ones that were often accepted by the animals as one of them

      [This is a YouTube playlist of what looks like every episode](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL90D7QgJXvhGZJtmV3e-VODd3TXcpMAHb&si=Ugd0_K5mRtvQflqJ) or at the very least, clips of every camera drone
