This has to be one of the most amazing photographic videos I have ever seen. Tim and his colleagues have such skill and patience.

One5Zero – Brits – expecially tradesmen (plumbers etc) – still use imperial measurements for distance. Road signs are still in Miles. We still have Pints. Metric is used in schools and hospitals but everywhere else we’re still stubborn about changing :D
Don – It’s the BBC – Britains premier TV and Documentary company. All their nature documentaries are this good.

Amazing footage. Always wondered how it was done. A shame that when I watch it next i’ll be thinking about the trickery instead of the plants.

At 4:13 he says it’s off about an inch. I thought that everyone outside the U.S. uses the metric system.

^Are you learning disabled G-THREE? Using computers to portray natural growth would be defeating the whole purpose of capturing NATURAL growth..

I am not sure if I am admiring the process, or find it insane that someone in our time went true so much labor. Has this guy ever been to a movie theater in the last 15 years, or is he refusing the facts of evolution. If you going to use laser guided measurements and digital cameras, you might as well use camera tracking and compositing or even do all the plants grow in CG. Yes and there will be always some smart ass saying but CG wont look good. CGI only looks like CGI of its done poorly, no one ever gives it credit if its seamless as its to good to be notices.

So is this thing project coming out on laser disc or will it be a VHS only. lol

A labour of love for sure. Very interesting. But I can’t help but wonder what was done with it? Who paid for it? Surely this wasn’t just a “hobby idea”?

Well you know, often when you are doing something that has never been done before you really have to do a lot of it yourself. I wouldn’t know where to start with a shoot like this but maybe that’s why I love it so much

Awesome! Truly wicked! I also find it funny that the DIY factor is big even with someone as big an serious as BBC.
