but on the other hand l think
they were concentrating on the whale

and we were able
just to get closer

but not interfere with it,
which was important

ln the end l was just completely
emotionally drained

After a six hour hunt the fifteen
strong pod of killer whales

ate nothing more than the
calf's lower jaw and its tongue

The coral seas are the
richest in the ocean

Their diversity and richness
of life is unmatched

Blue Planet filmed world-wide in pretty
well every major coral reef system,

but some of the most exciting places
we worked were remote islands

far off the Pacific
coast of Central America

like the Galapagos,
Malpelo and Cocos

This is a big event, this is a place
in this vast ocean and the deep water,

the deep water currents come in and
hit this island and it upwells,

brings all the nutrients up, so the
little fish can feed on the nutrients

and the bigger fish can feed on the
little fish, and the sharks feed on them

We came out here without any experts
by ourselves just out looking around,

trying to find sharks, trying to
find good things to film

And we found a bunch of them

Finding oneself among so many silky
sharks was an extraordinarily exciting,

but perhaps worrying experience

l don't think you get to have anything
to be worried about or frightened of

They're a very curious shark,
they come right up to you,

which makes it good
for photography

They bump you, they push off your
camera with their nose a little bit

l think they want to
find out what you are

and what you're doing here
in their world

and when they bump me l always
bump them back to let them know that

hey l'm here and l'm something
to be reckoned with

No sooner had they arrived
than the silky sharks

started to disappear into
the open ocean,

never to be seen again on
that particular trip

At night a completely new collection
of animals emerges onto the reef

and we were determined to film
some of the exciting things

that happen under the
cover of darkness

But lighting the reef to look as
if it were lit naturally by moonlight

requires a well co-ordinated team
and a complex lighting set-up

For filming at night,
especially sharks in a big area,

we needed quite a bit of light
Little battery lights wouldn't do

We brought in a generator and cables
coming down to 650 watt lights

l don't think the sharks were
disturbed at all by the light

These sharks are clued in to little
electronic impulses from each other

and also from their prey

Filming in the tidal seas
is all about timing

The lives of the animals that live here
are dominated by the daily advance

and retreat of the tides

But it's not just the daily cycle
that's important

- the monthly cycle of the moon also
has a massive effect on the oceans

And on the great barrier reef in Australia
it seems to be the key factor

co-ordinating the mass spawning
of the entire reef

We were there to try and
film that spectacle,

but as yet it's still not
properly understood by science

lt was only 20 years ago which
actually isn't very long that
