Midlands given Baird natural history lesson
The Baird Lecture traditionally focuses on how technology influences TV production and BBC One’s Planet Earth II is the perfect example of recent innovation.
Gunton, who is creative director of factual at the BBC’s Natural History Unit, explained how the latest technology has shaped the content of programmes.
The production team used infra-red cameras to shoot the amorous rhinos and the baby iguana who outran the snakes hot on its tail.
