Human planet is British Broadcasting Corporation's first iconic series to focus on humans, not animals, and as such, it gave birth to the explorers of Human planet.
Over two years of intensive filming, the crew shot over 70 stories for each theme, but the crew is always looking for more stories for the site. Wherever the weather and wildlife allowed the film crew to shoot additional stories, it was very important to the production team. The production team knows all too well how lucky it is to be able to photograph such amazing people and the most incredible lives. Some clips were attached from footage of the main story that you saw, many were brand new stories and different people, but were all filmed from places the crew visited.
The film crew has never travelled lightly, and filming such a high-definition series with high technical requirements and high specifications meant that the film crew had to carry hundreds of kilograms of clothing and gear to places beyond the reach of cars and planes. In Nepal, the crew trekked over high-altitude glaciers for several days, and in the Arctic, the crew rode a dog sled. We rode horses in Mongolia, and we rode boats of all shapes and sizes for the ocean part. Even though film crews rarely make it to their destination, many shots show that wildlife and weather can often do the right thing at the right time
