David Attenborough's Ant Mountain

An Ant's Eye View (Making Of) (1x2)

: 06, 2017

Filming ants has always been a challenge, but renowned producer and inventive cameraman Martin Dohrn is used to shooting things that are hard to get. For this production he used ‘Frankencam’, a unique modular camera system with high sensitivity and resolution that Dohrn has developed himself. ‘Frankencam’ allowed him to film ants from a completely different point of view. 4K-capable endoscopes and miniature 4K lens systems let us dive deep into the cities of ’Ant Mountain’, to reveal behaviour that hasn’t been seen before. From dramatic interactions between individual ants, to sweeping moves across battle scenes and supply lines, this film promises to put the viewer into the thick of the action like never before.
