Polar Bear – Spy on the Ice
Monday, March 11th, 2013
This is a brilliant highlight reel from John Downer Productions’ work done for the BBC’s Animal Planet. The photography is incredible as is the music soundtrack. Zoom it out, the images are well worth it.
John Downer Productions is a media company specialising in wildlife television, feature films and commercials. It has won numerous international awards for its innovative approach to filmmaking. It made its name by abandoning the traditional style of nature documentary and pioneering a highly inventive subjective approach. Through the use of new dramatic techniques it was possible, for the first time, to plunge the audience into the animal world.

great movie but looks like it was costly I can see a lot of equipment getting wrecked.
Edward: If you looked at their site, they’re a media company who does contract work for the likes of BBC. I doubt they mind losing a few cameras to get shots like that. Those are some of the best shots of polar bears I’ve ever seen. Worth a few cameras I’d say.
