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:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
