In celebration of the upcoming World Oceans Day, I want to share the trailer for the final series I worked on at National Geographic - OceanXplorers. The team captured some really remarkable natural history sequences, thanks to the cutting-edge technology on the ship. #OceanXplorers premieres Sunday, August 18, at 9/8c on @natgeotv. Streaming soon on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.

Life On Our Planet, Morgan Freeman and Steven Spielberg. Premiers 25th October 2023 on Netflix.
The series will explore the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. Similar to the incredible award winning BBC series Walking With Monsters, Dinosaurs, and Beasts.
I recommend checking out the world of palaeontology for all nature and environment enthusiasts, the diversity of life is staggering and fascinating.
The Paleozoic era contains incredible diversity of evolution and resilience, post major extinction events. Including armour plated giant fish, to an earth dominated by insects and giant forests, to mammal like reptiles which dominated the planet before the dinosaurs, from which all mammals are descended from.
The Mesozoic era, age of the dinosaurs, and the most well known including the incredible diversity, biology and ecology of the many species of dinosaurs which radiated to fill so many niches after the Permian extinction event which ended the mammal like reptiles.
The Cenozoic era, the return of the mammals after the extinction of the dinosaurs, following the KT event. Containing biological ancestors to all modern life including walking land whales, giant bears, giant sloths, terror birds, giant prime apes, and giant elk. From ancient horses the size of modern cats, large bone crushing dogs, giant relatives of modern elephants up to the Woolly Mammoth competing with the Indricotheres (relatives of modern Rhinoceros) for the spot of largest mammals to ever walk the earth.
So much evolutionary diversity, ecology and biology to discover for naturalists.
This article poses the simple question: If you remove the Paramount content library, what's the value of the rest? The answer is why Redstone has no interest in the Apollo deal.

The dark night returns - EarthXTV (Freeview 79)
Channel hopping I caught the back end of an EarthXTV programme ‘Back to the wild - The dark night returns’ – in summary ‘lockdown initiatives made cities less bright that they were pre-pandemic. Discover how darker spaces favourably impact birds and turtles, and uncover concrete solutions against light pollution’.
The bit I caught covered quite a bit of detailed research include the application of red / amber light and how dark areas re-wilded etc. The problem is that earthxTV does not seem to have catch up – as far as I can tell the episode is being repeated on

Very interesting and worth taking an hour to watch.
🌌 Calling All 🏴 Scottish Space Companies! 🚀 🌌
For any Scottish companies that have an interest in Space debris this targeted call from the EIC has just opened! The European Innovation Council (EIC) has launched the Pathfinder Challenge 2024 aimed at strengthening the sustainability and resilience of EU space infrastructure. This is a fantastic opportunity for innovative Scottish space companies to work collaboratively with European partners and is often used as a precursor to Horizon Europe. You will also contribute to cutting-edge projects and solutions that will shape the future of space exploration and security.
Nathan Barnett in the Innovate UK team at Scottish Enterprise can assist with applications AND partner searches to help develop a consortia if any companies have an interest but don’t know where to begin! 🚀

Are you finding yourself in a family movie slump? Ditch the predictable holiday movie schmaltz and dive into this heart-warming adventure that'll spark joy, curiosity, and a love for our planet in your little ones.
And this one is right up our tree!
Nine-year-old Jane isn’t your average kid. Sure, she loves climbing trees and playing tag like any other, but beneath the surface bubbles a fierce determination to protect the planet's precious creatures. Fueled by a boundless spirit of adventure, Jane sees the world as a fantastical stage for her mission: saving endangered animals.
Her loyal companions, David, a freckled boy with a perpetually grass-stained grin, and Greybeard, a chimpanzee with the wisdom of ancient trees in his soulful brown eyes, are always by her side. Together, they soar through sun-dappled jungles on the backs of giant butterflies, dive deep into coral reefs teeming with technicolor fish, and scale snow-capped mountains to sing lullabies to lonely polar bear cubs. Each adventure, fueled by Jane's boundless imagination, is a step closer to her ultimate goal: a world where every creature, from the tiniest bumblebee to the mightiest elephant, could thrive!

How do we prevent debris-generating events in #space?
"This always comes back to transparency...that's the real deterrent: that you will be observed doing behavior that's undesirable," said LeoLabs' Alan DeClerck (Executive VP for EMEA) during this week's #SatelliteInnovation panel on orbital debris.
Watch Alan's panel below to learn how we're creating more transparency on orbit and mitigating risks from existing debris with better data and insights.
How can one capture reflections in real-time on the reflective surface of an astronaut's helmet? You can probably guess our answer… Simply use LED volume! Virtual production minimises the need for the post-production.
