Nature Films
Forrest wrote, produced and narrated his own nature films as well. Often he shot his shows on location (using primitive videotape technology), as early as September 24, 1960.
Other notable location broadcasts with Forrest included a series of pre-taped shows from the now defunct "Freedomland Amusement Park" in the Bronx. It gave his young viewers a chance to not only see the park but to experience vividly events that were a part of America's history.
Ray Forrest died on March 11, 1999.

Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or films:
“In like manner, what good heed, nature forms in us! She pardons no mistakes. Her yea is yea, and her nay, nay.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
