What better way to start the new year than with some David Attenborough back on our TV's. And in 3D (for any of you that have a 3D TV).

I had the opportunity to DIT on various legs of the filming for this 3 part series which sees David travel through time to unravel the astonishing 300-million-year story of the flying animals.

Traveling to the Bornean jungle and filming lots of macro 3D, was both fascinating and challenging. It was also a privilege to meet the man himself.

The series was shot on RED Epics, with the workflow out in the field happening across multiple Mac Pros equipped with the RED Rockets. Some basic stereoscopic reviewing was carried out in REDCINE-X on a 24" JVC DT-3D24G1, to quickly check shots and check sync. The main reviewing of dalies happened in Avid Media Composer 7. Avid's built in stereoscopic workflow worked really well. With the ability to lay down synced footage on a timeline and use the stereoscopic effects to perform geometry corrections and depth adjustment.
