Information
Fearless Planet Season 1
Join a unique team of outdoor adventurers and scientists in exploring the wonders of our planet in
this visually stunning series. Prepare for an awe-inspiring experience as we rappel down the massive
walls of the Grand Canyon, dive into the Great Barrier Reef, and descend into the Venezuelan jungles
and much more in this exciting exploration of the world's natural marvels. Through eye-popping CGI
effects, learn how time and nature conspire to create these awesome spectacles and why some of these
landmarks are destined to remain while others may be lost forever. A high-definition format was
needed with incredible contrast and color rendition comparable to film, but with the ability to
adapt to the extreme conditions and stunts. For this reason, the series was primarily shot with
Panasonic AJ-HDC27 VariCam? HD Cinema cameras. As well as its incredible resolution, the camera has
astounding rendition at higher ISO speeds and its 640 sensitivity helped create a gritty, visual
canvas for the stunt sequences. To achieve this, the Discovery Channel filmed the action with an
average of six cameras from the air, underwater and in specially designed mounts attached to Will
Gadd. To enhance this immersive concept, the shooting style mixed shutter speeds and slow motion.
The 45-degree shutter was used to further augment the speed of the action.
Includes: Grand Canyon, Earth Story, Great Barrier Reef, Sahara Desert, Hawaii, Alaska

Part 1: Earth Story
What forces created Earth? What do the Grand Canyon, the world's tallest waterfall and the Sahara
have in common? What is a hot spot and how did it make Hawaii and the Great Barrier Reef? And what
does it really take to move a mountain? The world's great natural wonders are works in progress.
Getting up close and personal with them gives adventurer Will Gadd and scientists from around the
world unique insights into the colossal forces that created the whole planet. This is big geology
and Gadd's unique skills make him best suited to reach the rocks science needs in order to tell this
epic story. Written in the folds of the northern lights above Alaska, a clue to the formation of the
planet is uncovered. On the island of Hawaii, Gadd sees the processes that created the continents
and in the Grand Canyon he experiences the power of water. In Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, he
discovers how continents move and how erosion created the perfect stage for the world’s tallest
waterfall.
