Seeing this clip, I was immediately stunned. I really can't imagine the photographer's shooting technique. Although many other pictures are amazing, at least they can guess the methods used by the photographers. For example, the camera slowly rotates around a bristlecone pine, the background sky enters dusk from daytime, then the sky is full of stars, and the stars move, and then the sky gradually brightens and the sun rises. I guess it was taken by the camera moving around the tree at a very slow speed, day and night. Another example is a praying mantis in front of the camera, and then a chameleon's tongue slowly stretched out and swept away the praying mantis. I guess this was probably taken with a high-speed camera waiting in front of the praying mantis for a long time. However, the half-year scenery in the jungle, is it obviously impossible to let the camera slowly drive on the track for the first half of the year.
Fortunately, the on Location section at the end of the episode introduces the shooting method in detail. It took the photographer two years to make these sixty seconds! I have to admire the photographers and staff of the BBC, both in terms of technical level and work attitude. And this film can be said to be after "Planet Earth", it once again proved the BBC's unshakable position in the field of nature documentary production.
