GREAT BARRIER REEF
Big Bang Post Production has just completed the post production on a 3 x 60’ series for BBC NHU.
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is an icon, one of the natural wonders of the world and the largest living structure on our planet. This series is the definitive portrait of this biological miracle, far more ambitious in scope and greater in detail than any previous television project on this subject.
Presenter Monty Halls explores its full 2000-kilometre length, from the wild outer reefs of the Coral Sea to the tangled mangrove and steaming rainforest on the shoreline; from large mountainous islands to tiny coral cays barely above sea level; from the dark depths of the abyss beyond the reef to colourful coral gardens of the shallows.
This series has set a new benchmark in underwater filming technology. Remote mini-cameras, motion controlled underwater time-lapse and remotely operated vehicles have taken cameras where none have previously been; capturing the magic of the reef as it has never been seen before, from its immense scale to the most intimate detail.
Big Bang Post Production provided picture and grading post production and sound design on this series which transmits on Sunday 1st January 2012 at 8.00pm on BBC2 and then weekly.
