I directed this hour long, primetime documentary following Sir David Attenborough as he made his latest landmark 3D series for Sky on animal flight, Conquest of the Skies. I self-shot the show on a Sony PMW-300 (along with an army of go-pros) over the course of a year in a range of challenging locations – from a freezing Loch Lomond in Scotland to the depths of the Bornean rainforest. The programme was broadcast in January 2015.
You can find highlights from the show below:
