Green Planet

How do you capture the sounds made by plants? In the Studio follows wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson during the making of natural history TV series Green Planet.

We join wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson and go behind the scenes of Green Planet, a new, hugely ambitious BBC natural history television series which offers a plant’s eye view to our understanding of the world. We discover how Chris embraces the challenges of this series, the creative decisions he makes, and how he uses the latest technologies to capture the sounds produced by plants, as well as the sound world inside and around them.
