Götz Dieter Plage
Götz Dieter Plage (14 May 1936 in Germany – 3 April 1993 in Sumatra), internationally simply known as Dieter Plage, was a German cinematographer of nature documentaries.
==Career==
Dieter Plage was inspired to be a wildlife cameraman by the work of Bernhard Grzimek, the director of Frankfurt Zoological Gardens, who also made nature documentaries for German television.〔Plage, Dieter (1980). Wild Horizons. London: William Collins Sons & Co Ltd. p18. ISBN 0-00-216029-3〕 Plage went to southern Africa in 1958 to work as a freelance photographer. On the recommendation of Prof. Grzimek, he was signed by Aubrey Buxton in 1968 to film for UK-based Anglia Television's natural history unit Survival (TV series) (ITV Network).
Plage's work for ''Survival'' soon gained international renown. Aubrey Buxton wrote in tribute to him: "Rather than just film straight natural history in an orthodox fashion, he conceived and covered great stories about people and wildlife in a dramatic manner which enthralled the viewers. He was in every sense an action man."〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-dieter-plage-1453829.html〕 His footage was often the result of perilous circumstances, such as a film from the Virunga Mountains in the Democratic Republic of Congo where he kept his camera running while being charged by a large silverback mountain gorilla.〔Plage, Dieter (1980). Wild Horizons. London: William Collins Sons & Co Ltd. p170. ISBN 0-00-216029-3〕 In 1970, on Lake Shala, Ethiopia, he floated a dummy pelican on a large inner tube, putting his head and a camera inside to swim alongside the birds. Though he wore a wetsuit, after some 50 hours in the water corrosive soda burnt large areas of his skin.〔Willock, Colin (1978). The World of Survival. London: Andre Deutsch. p106. ISBN 0-233-97029-0.〕 Two years later, while filming in Manyara, Tanzania, he survived the attack of a charging elephant only by a hair's breadth.〔Willock, Colin (1978). The World of Survival. London: Andre Deutsch. pp174-5. ISBN 0-233-97029-0.〕
His many award-winning nature documentaries for ''Survival'' included ''Gorilla'' (1974), ''The Family That Lives With Elephants'' (1975), ''Orphans of the Forest'' (1976), ''Tiger, Tiger'' (1977), ''The Leopard That Changed Its Spots'' (1979), ''Cold on the Equator'' (1988) and ''The Secret World of Bats'' (1991). His last films were ''A Brush with Nature'' and ''Drawn to the Wild'' made with his friend, German wildlife artist Wolfgang Weber. He shot more documentaries for ''Survival'' than any other cameraman,〔Willock, Colin (1978). The World of Survival. London: Andre Deutsch. p95. ISBN 0-233-97029-0.〕 and his work was televised in more than 100 countries.〔Walshe, Tom; Bevan, Colin; Phillipson, Naomi; Sealy, Ruth (1999). A Knight on the Box. Anglia Television. p82. ISBN 0-906836-40-9.〕 He also filmed for Built for the Kill (National Geographic Channel), and for German television. He chronicled his 18 years working in Africa in a book, ''Wild Horizons: A Cameraman in Africa'', published in 1980 by Collins in London. He and his wife, Mary, who worked alongside him, also co-authored articles for National Geographic Magazine.
