Don Giovanni 0 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 this show is incredible. everyone should see this show. you really do see the earth in a completely different way. some of the camera shots they get are just amazing, they make things look like works of art. and they always have some sweet classical music playing in the background. heres one of the best parts of the series that ive seen so far, its completely insane footage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYbCMdR38usthe second time they show the shark eat the seal, holy ****, thats crazy.

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This show looks amazing. If I had TiVo and a giant flat screen plasma TV, I could entertain myself with it all day long. But I have neither of those things. Shrug. Link to post Share on other sites

coesillian 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Y a I downloaded these and watched them from my PC and it's the sickest picture i've ever seen on my comp. The shots are breath taking and blow your mind. The creatures they film are so sick and the narrator is awsome: David Attenborough. He does life of mamals which is like planet earth, worth watching if you are into these nature show,long live HD baby. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 So, my good friend got this on Blue Ray. He has a giant flat screen plasma TV, so we watched it on that through his PS3.Wow. This show is beyond amazing. I've only seen one episode so far, but it totally blew me away. The cinematography is amazing. I really don't understand how they get some of these shots. It really gives you a new appreciation of nature and a better understanding of our world.I recommend it to everyone. A++ Link to post Share on other sites

A++yea you really have no idea what is going on every single day on this planet until you see this show. every episode is full of beautiful camera work and amazing things but theres always at least one part of the episode that is absolutely mind blowing, like the shark part i posted, and when these mountain goat things are head bunting each other with their 3 foot long horns.

That was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.When it fluffed up, it looked like it had a giant neon face. It was unbelievable. I can't possibly do it justice. I wish I could find a clip of it to post.OMG, here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs...ted&search= Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 1 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I can't imagine watching this show on anything other then a big screen HDTV. All these types of discovery programs have always been interesting, but this shit is just incredible. The real crazyness is the super slow motion frames, and some of those shots like someone said that make you think 'where the $^@#% is the camera?'On a related note, Sunrise Earth is also pretty cool (but only on a huge HDTV) in a more boring yet tranquil/peaceful kind of way.

showstopper24 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I just watched most of the Director's Cut version (where the director explained how they set up the cameras for the coolest shoots). It was pretty awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I just got around to watching the first two parts of this series (Pole to Pole and Mountains). The cinematogrophy is absolutely amazing. I am awed at where some creatures choose to live. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just got this on dvd, and man, I just love it. It's so beautiful. If ever a show was made for HD, it's this one. Link to post Share on other sites

A++When they first released the series on British television, after each episode they did a 10 minute special called Planet Earth Diaries on the work and equipment involved in capturing the images for the episode.The equipment is always brilliant, but the time and effort the camera crews are willling to put in just to get a shot that might last a few seconds is phenominal.Not sure if the DVD box set has an 'extras' disc with it that has these snippets - I'll have to look Link to post Share on other sites
