Unscramble the Blue Letters


You might think that it's quite hard to find new stories and new scebutjs, but new technology is changing the way we can film. It's enabling us to get fresh, new imaegs and tell brand new stories. In Nature's gerat Events, a series for the BBC that I did with David Attenborough, we wanted to do just that.

Images of grizzly bears are pttery fiaalimr. You see them all the time, you think. But there's a whole side to their lives that we hardly ever see and had never been filmed. So what we did, we went to Alaska, which is where the grizzlies rely on really high, almost inaccessible, mountain slopes for their denning. And the only way to film that is a shoot from the air.

So what we did, we went to Alaska, which is where the grizzlies rely on really high, almost inaccessible, mountain slopes for their denning. And the only way to film that is a shoot from the air.
