The BBC has this week released the first trailer for its new Planet Earth II natural history series, that will be airing next month. Offering a follow-up to the highly successful BBC Planet Earth series that was first broadcast back in 2006.
Once again David Attenborough will be narrating the action during the nature documentary which has been filmed over the last four years around the world in over 64 different countries.
Advanced Filming Techniques
The Planet Earth II series will be available in 4K Ultra HD and uses the latest camera stabilisation, remote recording and aerial drone technology to allow viewers to get an unprecedented closer look at the life of animals around the world, from bugs and birds to a lioness attacking a fleeing giraffe. The use of 4K Ultra HD ensures that the visuals are incredibly sharp and detailed, bringing the natural world to life in a way that has never been seen before. The camera stabilisation technology helps in capturing smooth and steady shots even in the most challenging environments, such as dense forests or rugged mountains.
Remote recording technology has enabled filmmakers to capture intimate moments of wildlife without human presence disturbing the natural behavior of animals. This has resulted in some truly remarkable footage, such as a rare glimpse of snow leopards in the Himalayas or the intricate dance of birds of paradise in New Guinea. Aerial drone technology has also played a crucial role in the series, providing breathtaking aerial views of landscapes and animal migrations that were previously impossible to film.
Global Exploration and Diverse Ecosystems
The series explores a wide range of ecosystems, from the icy realms of the Arctic to the scorching deserts of Africa. Each episode focuses on a different habitat, showcasing the unique wildlife and the challenges they face in their environment. For instance, one episode delves into the dense jungles of the Amazon, revealing the hidden lives of its elusive inhabitants, while another takes viewers to the vast savannas of Africa, where predators and prey engage in a daily struggle for survival.
The series also highlights the impact of climate change and human activities on these ecosystems. By showcasing the beauty and fragility of the natural world, Planet Earth II aims to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and the need to protect our planet for future generations.
Check out the trailer below to learn more about what you can expect from the follow-up Planet Earth II series which has been created by the BBC and will be shown first on the BBC One channel during November 2016, before being made available on Blu-ray discs.
