How We Film Tiny Animals | Behind the Scenes
The Big Little Journeys team employs various filming techniques to follow the journeys of two very different animals. New probe lenses and motion control systems are used to see the world from the perspective of a walnut-sized turtle and follow its journey through a Canadian woodland. In South Africa night vision cameras and gyrostabilized cranes are used to keep pace with a nocturnal bush baby.
