A Perfect Planet series producer, Huw Cordey, explains how the team pushed technology to its limits to capture the show’s astonishing sequences
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, BBC1’s A Perfect Planet revealed how the forces of nature - weather, ocean currents, solar energy and volcanoes - drive, shape and support Earth’s great diversity of life. The final episode in the series looked at
the dramatic impact of the world’s newest force of nature: humans - and what can be done to restore our planet’s perfect balance. Produced by Silverback Films – the maker

of Our Planet and David Attenborough: A Life on our Planet – the series has been widely lauded for its cinematography. Its five episodes revealed Arctic wolves prowling moonlit landscapes in winter; frozen wood frogs magically thawing back to life in spring; vampire finches of the Galapagos who drink the blood of seabirds; to the African flamingos who gather in their thousands every year in a vast volcanic lake to breed. Series producer Huw Cordey says the Silverback team are always “pushing the
technology” and “trying to raise the bar on what has been done before.” But, as veterans of high-end natural
history, Silverback’s production and camera teams are very often pushing higher a bar that they themselves have set in previous documentaries.
I KNOW THE HEIGHTS THAT WE HAVE TO REACH. WE TRY NOT TO GO OVER THE SAME OLD GROUND
“I know the heights that we have to
reach,” says Cordey. “We try not to go over the same old ground. It’s about pushing ourselves.” By way of example, Cordey cites the
volcano episode of A Perfect Planet, which he also produced. The opening 12 minute sequence is of the African flamingos who nest in the middle of the alkaline Lake Natron,
