Chimps, Frogs & Planet Earth II

I’m just back from my last shoot of the year, a fairly brief 3 week catch-up with the chimp group we’ve been filming for the last 18 months.

Looking for tigers in the monsoon is tricky. A few months ago we would have seen our tiger family almost every day, or, at the very least, we would know where they were. This trip was very different. In a month I probably got to film them in a meaningful way half a dozen times. […] Read more »

I’m finally back at home after a very busy start to the year – alternating shoots on the two BBC1 Dynasties films I’m working on has meant that I haven’t had much time to fully decompress. I now have a few weeks at home – the first time in a while – and actually get to […] Read more »

My most recent shoot was in Senegal, filming chimps for a […] Read more »

Felix & Honey

A couple of days ago we inspected our bee colony for the first time this year. They were a tiny colony going into winter, and we’ve dipped below -10C a few times, so we were somewhat concerned that they might not make it. But whenever the sun has put in an appearance in the last […] Read more »
