Mark Brownlow and Orla Doherty, producers of BBC’s Blue Planet II
It took around four years to gather the material on superficial waters for the making of the second season of Blue Planet, that will have its debut in Latin America in 2018 on Discovery Channel.
“We spent six thousand hours underwater to film our new stories. We launched around 125 shooting expeditions in 39 countries,” explains Mark Brownlow, producer of Blue Planet II.
Brownlow, the same as Orla Doherty, who was the producer of two episodes of the series and James Honeyborne, Executive Producer, were some of the members of the production who were present at the press junket organized by BBC Worldwide onboard the research ship, Alucia, with which Blue Planet II was made.
“This is a pioneering series that will reveal new stories of the oceans of the world, thanks to the amazing camera and submarine technology that has moved forward what we can film in the ocean in the last 10-15 years,” expressed Brownlow.
Doherty, who produced the episodes The Deep and Our Big Blue Planet, highlighted that without technology “we wouldn’t have been able to even imagine shooting in the deep ocean”.
“It is indispensable to have sophisticated technology to get down there, to have access to what is under the waves and continue going down and down. We also developed interesting camera technology to shoot in the depths and be able to capture cinema-like images with truly high standards,” expressed Doherty.
