Carey became well known in the genre of short documentary films, with a lyrical gift for dramatic visualization of natural scenery: his two most well known films being "Yeats Country" (1965), exploring the relationship between the vision of poet W.B. Yeats and the landscape of Co. Sligo, and "Oisin" (1970) a film which focuses entirely on the imagery created by the natural world, without either words or music. Both films were nominated for an Academy Award In "Errigal" (1970) a brilliant weave of folklore and narrative is set against the stunning dominance of the Donegal mountains. Of "Errigal", Carey wrote 'The mountains are the characters in the story, the drama is in the battle of the elements. I have tried to convey the feeling of personality in a landscape, supported only by music and natural sounds'.
