Tragedy occurred on a film set in South Africa when an award-winning cinematographer was killed by a giraffe he was filming. The crew was filming at Glen Afric Country Lodge, an open wildlife facility about 40 minutes northwest of Johannesburg. Two Oceans Production, a Cape Town film production company, told Entertainment Weekly that Carvalho was hit in the head by a male giraffe named Gerald. “Gerald was not to blame and would not be put down,” a representative for Glen Afric told Variety. I don’t consider him to be a dangerous animal.” Neither the CallaCrew agency nor Glen Afric has yet responded to a request for comment from The Washington Post.
