Tomás Bergara
Tomás sets the minimum approach distance on every shoot and has the authority to stop the camera at any moment, without discussion. He used it three times this season. Two of those shots would have been in the finished films.
Bio
The crew
Who else was out there
Ade Fenwick
Series director
Cut the Borneo canopy episode from nine months of unattended rig footage. Believes a sequence is finished when nothing else can be removed from it.
Priya Raghunath
Lead camera
Shot the 34-day elephant walk on a long lens from a moving vehicle. Holds the production record for consecutive days without a usable shot: eighteen.
Nkechi Olawale
Location sound
Recorded the Arctic ice-shift audio that opens episode four. Every ambience in the series is location sound — there is no library track in the mix.
