Please stop adding random production credits to the article. The "field director" is not the actual director the series, he's a second unit director. We typically do not list second unit or "assistant" directors in Wiki articles unless there is a significant reason to do so. Given your user name, this looks more like self-promotion which is a conflict of interest.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Further to your message, this is to clarify that 'field director' is indeed a directing position and not, at all, a second unit position. I spent three months in the field 'directing" my crew 7 days a week. I directed some of the most complex sequences of the film, at times involved directing multi camera (both DOP's John and Robin), all on location in the Kalahari desert. Please feel free to contact the production company which will be more than happy to verify this. My contract and on screen credit confirm this.

For example, one of the most complex sequences of the film, the mobbing of the Cape cobra by a group of meerkats was directed by me. This sequence involved very careful preparation. I story boarded the sequence in full. The sequence involved thorough choreography of all the shots, working simultaneously with D.O.P's John Waters, Robin Smith with the help of snake handler Mike Perry who joined us from Cape Town. We had two attempts at this sequence as we were unable - due to the complexity of the shot - to get the crane shot first time around. We got all the coverage apart from the crane shot the first time around. We had a second go at the complex crane shot many weeks later when we were finally able to get the shot in the can.
