was only 20 years ago which
actually isn't very long that
they discovered that the whole
of the went off
l mean, it can be split but it basically
goes off on three or four nights
and they're been working
on it ever since
But they still don't know
an awful lot,
so for the scientists
this is really exciting
At about 7:45 we saw
some egg
just floating close
to the surface
and Karen and l tracked that down to one
small brown montepora
was Craig's advice that allowed us
to get there at just the right time
and with three and
a complex lighting
we were determined to film
the
But for there was a lot of
tension as she waited on the deck
lt's really frustrating not
being able to speak to them
or see what's going on because
usually if you're filming
you can always see and interact and
you know what the is getting,
but on the back of a boat,
at night,
you have absolutely no idea
what's going on down there
That first night there was
no sign of the
and the team were worried
that it might be the lights
that were
the corals' behaviour
Craig thinks it's quite
important that
we don't have the light on the
at all, he's slightly worried
He actually got us to turn
the lights off on here
and that's light over there off because
it was producing a cast on the
He thinks it might be
affecting the
Yes well, we have to light it
in order to film it
Yeah l know but while
we're waiting...
Well l weight balanced and
then l just switched it off where,
l had the lights on ...
He obeyed instructions
and leave ...the light on
... and l just sort of thought,
Craig thought that the light
might affect the ,
so l thought just leave things
as they are and l was quite ...
Well, l wasn't told that
Oh
This is a practice lighting night
was a practice lighting night,
you're quite right
, for two more nights there
was still little sign of the ,
but eventually on the fourth night
something started to happen
Some of the began to release
in clouds into the water,
but this was not the mass
the team had come to film
For the it was
rather frustrating work
as they picked away trying to get the
pictures needed to build up the story
just takes such a long time,
l mean once they start,
it doesn't go in like one ,
it just goes one, two
Quite a lot of eggs go off but
they don't go off in vast numbers,
they sort of just
out gently
Four, five, one ...
l was able to follow one egg,
you know, one egg
Then you wait five minutes
and you might get two
But watching a lump of stone
getting ready to is...
Now this is where we've gone up
and we've got the main light
Yep, right okay,
so this is the big one
And so we're not balanced for that,
so l just have to adjust it. That's mine
l know, l know
Finally on the fifth night it
seemed it was all going to happen
and could hardly suppress
her excitement...
Yes!
But there was a problem
Peter Scoones found that at the
last minute his camera had failed
He worked desperately to fix it
in the few hours remaining
before the
was due to happen
But we've go mode tonight?
We've go mode for tonight.
With colour?
There'll be some colour there...
no guarantee what it's like
There'll be some colour there,
but ...
But no spawning yet
on the fifth night the
team were all set to film
a spectacular mass spawning
of the
The seas, that occur in
the of the world,
are probably the most productive
parts of the ocean
But they're hard
places to work in
Their very productivity reduces
water
and the weather is often rough
and
The Blue Planet came to
waters off California
to film some exciting new
behaviour in ,
first observed by ,
Now are incredible
and l guess what l love about working
with them is kind of
the myth that
they are kind of these funny
rock-looking objects on shore
and when you actually get
they have
