They must seize the best time for penguin activities, and they must also adapt to hold the camera steady in the wind at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Fortunately, they encountered a huge colony of emperor penguins, with as many as 1,200 penguins. The camera crew carefully followed the penguin army, shooting pictures with super 16mm film, and the photographer even followed the penguins swimming in the ice water to capture the details with the lens. The crew of "March of the Penguins" filmed a total of 120 hours of life records (mastering) for 13 months in temperatures of minus 40 to 10 degrees Celsius. All film crews are camped in Antarctica, and there is no possibility of sea or air transportation
