Producer/Director / The Americas - BBC Studios / NBC Universal / NBC / BBC / Apr 2021 to Apr 2024 |
Production Title: The Americas - BBC Studios / NBC Universal Company: BBC Line Manager: Steve Cole Programme Length: 50 minutes Season: 1 Genre: Natural History Sector: Broadcast Television Description: I joined this project a year late into production, as the previous producer had to step away, with no confirmed stories on the slate and no shoots booked in one of the busiest years of the industry as the world slowly opened up after covid. I had to work extremely quickly across both UK and Alaskan/Canadian time zones in order to produce a viable episode which the channel client and the BBC would be happy with, also navigating a limited budget and around existing storylines that were due to broadcast across other competing series before us. I often relied on personal contacts within the industry in order to expedite and secure contracts with oversubscribed cameramen and women, and had to work extensively to build rapport with sensitive native communities and governmental departments. We managed to secure access to several locations which had never been filmed in before. In just three months of beginning the series, we were out on our first shoot where we filmed what was to become the epic final sequence of the episode. I had to retain this pace of working throughout the project in order to deliver the episode, which was filmed in some of the most logistically and environmentally challenging locations of the series. This episode has been used as the promotional episode for the series during channel marketing, and is due to broadcast early next year. |
