Capturing the spectacular wonders of the natural world, -sunrise to sunset and beyond- is central to assembling the current film Behold The Earth. For the past several years, I’ve kept an ongoing (and closely guarded!) shotlist of unrecorded creature behaviors within stunning landscapes. I believe each is guaranteed to deliver an eye-opening reaction of “Wow!” To successfully capture the shots on the list, we’re drawing on some of the same talented field staff and technical expertise found in the massively successful Planet Earth series, as well as our own veteran series Sunrise Earth What makes that elusive “wow” factor? The answer is what that word “Behold” is all about. Note: we will not be posting samples of these sequences online, with the possible partial exception of one which involves a dragonfly. Don’t tell.
