One Planet BBC Evento
In the context of the masterclass of the show One Planet: Seven Worlds (7×55’) and Making of (1×50’), in the BBC Studios Showcase 2019, with Sir David Attenborough as presenter; Emma Napper, producer; Jonny Keeling, executive producer and chaired by Liz Bonnin, it was revealed that it took four years to produce the show and it will be ready to be released in October.
One Planet: Seven Worlds was produced in 40 countries, with more than 80 expeditions, one thousand people in production and more than 3000 hours of content were generated.
Keeling and Napper highlighted that they had sequences of unexpected animal behavior, such as some polar bears hunting Beluga whales, something never seen before, and pumas in South America (The Andes) hunting Llamas. They also mentioned the story of the rhinoceros from Sumatra, only 50 of which remain in the world.
For his part, Attenborough featured the effect technology has had on the making of the show, in particular, drones. Keeling mentioned that drones have enabled shooting from the air sequences that otherwise could not have been made, with high image quality and without being intrusive.
In the event, it was revealed that the composer Hans Zimmer will create the music of One Planet: Seven Worlds. Zimmer has already collaborated with BBC in projects such as Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II.
