Interview: Blue Planet II

South African cameraman Roger Horrocks and producer Orla Doherty tried, but failed, to film the rare “boiling sea” phenomenon, the result of hordes of tuna and dolphins leaping from the water to catch prey. Instead, they lucked upon a much-discussed three-minute scene of a baby sea turtle as it floats beneath a log—and is then attacked by a shark. We talked with them about what it took to create such a unique scene.

Interview: A talk with the mountain photographers of BBC's Planet Earth Two

'If the spotters did spot a cat first thing, or if we knew where one approximately was the day before, we’d start out with the camera kit before sunrise and hike to where the spotters were looking for the cat. This could be a two-hour hike up as much as 3,000 to 3,500 vertical feet to some spots."
