It appeared to me that it was a chance to show off some underwater mapping projects. Kind of like google earth. With all the research going on out there its nice to see 3d representations of what it might look like.
was watching the last planet earth last night on bbc with some funky clips of oceanic white tips but the making of it is sometimes even better, the boys filming had to leg it after a while with one of them seemingly getting more agro from the sharks becos of his memitic/pelagic stlye wetsuit.
Making discovery channel type shows is really pretty difficult.
1st, It takes months / years for an idea for a show to hit the right ears, with the right money (welcome to Hollywood)
2nd, jogging around the globe with sensitive, expensive gear, crew, and scientists
3rd, Editing (this is where it breaks down) The editor must put together a show that is (depending on the network) 22:50 long (45:20 for a one hour show), and all the while the producers are asking,
"Can you show the Orca tearing into the seal pup in slo-motion --- oh yuck! maybe not that slow! Also, we need to add an element of danger to this piece, would it be too inaccurate to say that this happened around Los Angeles? Throw in a shot of Venice Beach, and give Shamu and the dying pup names, you know personalize it, make the kids cry."
Ahhhh - I love my job :hmm TV is Good for you!

hey Lockedin,
Are you an editor? What kind of things do you do? I'm also a video editor, mainly working on music videos and short films, I've done a fair amount of documentaries too.
I would love to get into working with underwater footage, ideal dream obvioulsy becoming an underwater camera operator but hey, that's not going to happen anytime soon!
I've also been watching the Planet Earth series on the BBC, always amazing, I loved the last one about the deep seas, they truely are alien to us as we know so little about them, its one of my favourite areas of personal interest.
I also managed to catch the Diving with Dolphins that was still prerecorded on my digibox the otherday, it was quite good, just nice to see some underwater footage. Nothing beats The Blue Planet though!
