Planet Earth 2

Lizze and Tess had the opportunity to attend a talk given by Dr Chadden Hunter, about wildlife filmmaking, sharing never before seen footage that didn't make the cut for the final series. He produced the grasslands episode of Planet Earth 2. Dr. Chadden Hunter is an Australian wildlife biologist and filmmaker. On the BBC series Planet Earth he became known as 'the guy covered in bat poop', and whilst filming Arctic wolves for Frozen Planet learnt that minus 40C was cold enough to freeze his eyes shut. His credits include Series Producer on Wild Arabia which was nominated for two Emmy awards and producer on Planet Earth II, winner of four Baftas.
