Netflix official trailer for the project

Our Planet is an eight-part series for Netflix and WWF, which shines a spotlight upon some of The World’s rarest animals and most precious natural habitats. It premiered across all territories in April 2019.

“What really makes Our Planet stand out is the clear driving story that runs through the entire series and the wider communications project. This has been a true labour of love for hundreds of film makers, cinematographers, conservationists, editors, musicians and production teams, all of whom have brought their best work to the most important story that there is – a story that could not be more universal or more timely.”

– Sir David Attenborough, Series Narrator

From the April 2015 WWF press release…

“Our Planet will inspire millions of people around the world by showcasing the planet’s most precious species and most fragile habitats through a visionary series and cutting-edge multimedia storytelling”

– Colin Butfield, Executive Producer, WWF

As well as working on the main series as an edit assistant, I edited (and graded) a large collection of online content which accompanied the series. These were published on the official website of Our Planet, as well as the social media channels of WWF and Netflix.

Traveling the continent for more than three years, from the frigid Yukon Territory, the lush forests of Belize, the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the barren deserts of the American Southwest, Discovery’s first, independently-produced natural history landmark series,ย North America, reveals that “survival of the fittest” is truly the law across this immense continent, amid threatening terrain and ferocious weather.ย From the grizzly bears in the mountains; to the bison of the great plains; the otters, beavers and whiskered blue catfish of the freshwater rivers; the timber wolves of the forests to the hammerhead sharks of the coasts.ย Never-before-seen sequences range from the elusive desert jaguar in Mexico to daring grizzly bears diving in more than 20 feet of water to grab salmon in Alaska. Time-lapses shots also transform the continent’s most severe weather events into truly mind-blowing imagery.ย
