I’m very pleased to share the news that Secret Lives of Orangutans has been nominated for no fewer than eight awards for the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys, including ‘Single Camera Editing’. It’s a real pleasure to see the feature length documentary garner the attention that it deserves after so much work from a small but fantastic team.

An exclusive world premiere event for David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet was intended take place at the Royal Albert Hall on 16th April 2020, where Sir David was to be joined live on stage by guests to discuss some of the most prevalent and pressing issues raised in the film. However, after a certain pandemic set in, these plans were abandoned in favour of an almost entirely online release.
Nonetheless, David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet went on to garner a great deal of attention and awards, including an Emmy nomination for outstanding picture editing.
The feature was edited entirely in Avid Media Composer.
