'''''The Chimpcam Project''''' is a documentary featuring the first movie to be filmed entirely by [[Common chimpanzee|chimpanzees]]. The chimpanzees do this using a "chimpcam" - a video recorder housed in a chimpanzee-proof box. The device is used by 11 chimpanzees living at the [[Edinburgh Zoo]] in the U.K. The experiment was the idea of producer John Capener <ref>[http://www.burning-gold.co.uk/ Burning Gold Productions] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090608190636/http://www.burning-gold.co.uk/ |date=8 June 2009 }}</ref> and became part of the studies of [[primatologist]] Betsy Herrelko,<ref>[http://chimpcam.com/ Chimpcam.com], Chimpcam Official Website</ref> who is studying for a Ph.D. in primate behaviour at the [[University of Stirling]]. The documentary was a co-production between the BBC strand ''[[Natural World (BBC TV series)|Natural World]]'' <ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qfb4f BBC 2 Programmes 2009-10], Natural World minisite</ref> and [[Animal Planet]].

==The "chimpcam"==<br />
<br />
The "chimpcam" consists of a receiver which is housed in a special chimpanzee-proof casing. Chimpanzees can see the video images various cameras are capturing and can decide via touch screen "...whether to watch footage of their outside enclosure, or the food preparation room, where zoo staff prepare the chimps' meals."<br />
