<\/a>We’ve covered Life<\/em>, BBC’s just-as-jaw-dropping follow-up to Planet Earth, a few<\/a> times<\/a> before. Mike Gunton, the program’s executive producer, offers more insight into how they made nature look so incredible.<\/p>\n

In this clip, Gunton explains some of the cutting-edge technology that is instrumental to capturing nature in such an impressive fashion. In addition to the advances in time lapse high-speed, and low-light photography, Gunton mentions the development of the “Heligimbal,” a stabilized mount which allows photographers to fill an entire frame with action from over a kilometer away.<\/p>\n

On the advances in macro photography, Gunton notes: “[There are] such advances that actually you don’t really feel like you’re in a miniature world anymore. So, for example, when you’re with a column of ants on the march, it feels like you’re with a herd of wildebeests on the migration…Emotionally what that’ll do is it’ll make you feel like you’re really part of their lives”<\/p>\n

Mike Gunton will be speaking at the Entertainment Gathering conference<\/a> in Monterey, California, next month.<\/p>\n
