You can only film it with infrared technology. Seeing in the Darkĭuring the Television Critics Association press tour panel for “Blue Planet II,” Brownlow revealed, “We worked with infrared technology to film this quite horrific monstrous worm called a Bobbitt worm. “Blue Planet II” Luis Lamar/BBC America 3. We’re kind of obvious, so we had to go into sort of stealth mode and put all our lights out and then use a camera that could practically see in the dark.” “And we’re in a giant, nine-ton yellow submarine. “The low-light sense camera, that’s how we got these amazing scenes of the Humboldt squid because we wanted to be in their world, film these animals in their world, really for the first time, but not disturb their behavior,” she said. And then we went out and filmed in 2016 and we got it.” Take a look:ĭoherty produced the episode “The Deep,” which was shot along the ocean floor where there’s crushing pressure, brutal cold, and utter darkness. “You remember in the first episode, there’s the mobula ray swimming through the bioluminescence? When we first heard of that in 2013, we couldn’t film that. “You can film so much more underwater now, in the dark, in low light, in color at 4k, than you ever could before, and that’s really made a difference,” he said. Honeyborne also noted that sensor technology had improved on cameras. And you can stay down for maybe four hours at a time and that’s when a fish begins to show you its true character.” Cuttlefish, “Blue Planet II” Hugh Miller/BBC America 2.
“So the ability to dive for up to four hours at a time in shallow water and not create any bubbles, therefore not creating visual disturbance or any loud sound, and that really helps fish just relax and let you into their world. “A bit of technology that wasn’t as available 20 years ago, when they set out to make the original series, is re-breather technology,” said Honeyborne.

The opportunity brought together a large number of students with interest in the subject and we had inspiring discussions about the functioning of coral reefs and opportunities to protect them for the future."įind out more about Professor Wiedenmann's work and publications.‘Killing Eve’ Review: The Frustrating Series Finale Isn’t Much of an Ending at All - Spoilers 1. The students of the Marine Conservation Society of the University of Southampton had organised a screening in the lecture hall which made watching a spectacular experience. We share the latest findings of our research also with students in our new 3rd year module 'Understanding Coral Reefs'. This relates directly to our research at the Coral Reef Laboratory at the University of Southampton, where we establish how other environmental factors such as nutrients in the water column mitigate or aggravate heat stress driven coral bleaching. The imagery taken before and after episodes of coral bleaching showed impressively the devastating effects of this phenomenon on reefs. "The coral reef episode was wonderfully photographed, showing the reefs in all their fragile beauty.
