I filmed on this for just over one year. Taking me all over the wonderful and vibrant continent of Asia.
From the isolation and silence of the vast Gobi Desert, to the raucous jungles of southern Nepal, and from the deep unexplored caves of northern Thailand to the pristine coral seas of the far flung archipelago of Palau.
I got to see and do it all on this series, pioneering new and exciting techniques at every turn.
Not forgetting the fantastic people I got to work with and the special wildlife I got to witness. This was a dream come true to work on for so many reasons.
This series will showcase the breath-taking variety of Asia’s wildest places.
I have been lucky to spend so much time working with Silverback Films on various productions, including Disney's Polar Bear, Netflix's Our Planet II and Life on our Planet, as well as BBC Wild Isles.
BBC Wild Isles will always stand out for me for a few reasons. For almost two years, I was the in-house operator on this production - one of blood, sweat, some more blood and tears. But also one of so many laughs and wonderful times with a fantastic team and fantastic wildlife, from filming tiny mayfly to giant grey seal bulls fighting on remote beaches, secretive capercaillie leks in pristine Scottish pine forest to witnessing starling murmurations in a muddy field in wild Cornwall. It was a time full of contrast and variety: showcasing the best of what these isles have to offer whilst highlighting the dire need, responsibility and urgency for us to act to protect the species we have left.
