How are they able to shoot all this stuff
Very carefully
with cameras
>>63477859
how did they take this picture from space ? you shouldnt be able to see animals from there its too far
and balloons
By baiting animals. Also, remove the "Epic music" and it's not so great anymore
It's all cgi, you didn't think all those weird animals were real did you?
>>63477859
they kinda show you how in the series The Hunt
>>63477859

>>63478003
woah
>>63477943
>remove the "Epic music" and it's not so great anymore
No, it still is. Many of the shots are impossible to see ever in person, and many of the species shot are impossible to see up close. Not to mention that one Malaysian bird (I think) that they shot doing its mating dance, only for it to now be entirely extinct due to logging and rats.
For the time lapse stuff they recreated a set indoors.
Well they've been doing it since at least 1946 so you shouldn't be too surprised
The technological growth of HD cameras are underrated.

>>63479948
When we consciously destroy, and not for survival but rather capitalistic gain, and by doing so knowing we directly harm the creatures around us, then its no longer natural in the natural sense of things.
In fact, human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, this accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand in hand into extinction. One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

>tfw you will never be a flamboyant bitch bird
>>63477859
Most of the aerial footage was captured by helicopter, using a camera with the same kind of powerful optics and image stabilization that was developed by military contractors for use in drones & such. This is what allowed the film crews to photograph scenes from altitudes too high to disturb herds and packs on the ground, but with enough magnification to make it look like they were much closer. That's just one example of what you can do with a 10 or 20 million dollar budget, and a year or so for filming. The extras in the DVD and Blu-ray sets cover the "making-of" stuff in considerable detail.
>>63477859
The BBC spent 5 years making it then edited together the best sequences
>>63480764
I just have this.

In that new series the Hunt they stuck one of those massive helicopter cameras on a big arm and attached it to a jeep to get some great shots of African wild dogs.

>“The team were following a polar bear which was hunting seals as the ice was breaking up,” explains Sir David Attenborough , 89, who narrates the show.
>“The bear kept popping up out of melt holes. At first, they thought he was changing which seal he was stalking, but halfway through they realised it had stopped hunting seals, and it was now hunting the team.
>"It was terrifying – and certainly not on the health and safety form!”

I'm honestly amazed that those things can compensate for that much for instability in what they're mounted to.
>>63481678
I don't mind paying for programming like the hunt etc what I do mind is my quids being used to make programmes like "am I sexist" or "is Britain racist"
Is the new Hunt series worth a watch if you can't stand Attenborough's pretentious posh voice?
>>63481686
90% sure in Blue Planet and probably Nature's Greatest Events.
>>63481777
you don't get to decide everything McDonalds does with your money so I don't know where the sense of entitlement comes from when it's a public institution.
I doubt there are even that many opportunities for quality programming per year anyway. a lot of it is likely limited by available material, talent etc.

In 'Murica we have something similar, and it comes in the form of sky-high cable bills from largely unregulated oligopolies.
>>63481854
You do get to decide whether to support mcdonalds, you do not get to decide to just stop paying taxes. You're right though that most of that stuff is just filler catering to the lowest common denominator, and could never have been quality content anyways. At the same time though, there are like 19 bbc channels...
>>63481854
You're a bit dense aren't you pal? What a fucking stupid analogy. If we own a tv and watch every channel apart from BBC we still have to fund the BBC. If I went to fucking Burger King and ordered a meal I shouldn't also have to pay Mcdonalds too (using your dumb as fuck analogy that is, think of Burger king as Sky or Virgin)
