BBC - Nature’s Great Events DVD Series
Produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and narrated by Sir David Attenbourgh this wildlife documentary series explores how seasonal changes powered by the sun trigger shifting weather patterns and ocean currents, which in turn create the conditions for some of the planets most spectacular wildlife events.
The fourth program in the series, “The Great Tide”, documents the epic drama of sardine run off the east coast of South Africa. During the 25 month filming period (2007 and 2008), I was assigned by producer Hugh Pearson to assist cameramen Justin Maguire and Didier Noirot. To see Didier in action, click here…
In the companion hardcover book to the series by the same name, Didier wrote the chapter on the Great Tide and Justin Maguire and I contributed the bulk of the still images.
