Silverback Films for BBC – 2015
My role: Behind the Scenes Editor
I have always been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes segments that accompany TV and film production, so it was a real pleasure to get the opportunity to edit them for A Perfect Planet.
Featuring such extraordinary adventures as descending into a volcano to film iguanas, chasing wolves across frozen tundras, and piloting hovercraft across the acrid salt pans of Lake Natron to film flamingoes, I was spoilt-for-choice when it came to engaging footage and incredible tales. It was particularly rewarding to see my work get a mention in reviews.
Despite yet another glorious, enthralling, bloody and awesome – in the vital and literal senses – series from Attenborough and team, the chief draws in A Perfect Planet are to many becoming the behind-the-scenes end sections – Euan Ferguson, Guardian, 17/01/2021
A Perfect Planet was first broadcast on UK screens on Sunday, January 3rd at 8pm on BBC One.
The behind-the-scenes segments were edited entirely in Avid Media Composer.
