Did Dave say those frogs were smaller than a finger nail? Those wasps must have been tiny then.

Don't want to ruin your fun, but they do a lot of work on the soundtracks of these things. Stashing a sound man with a boom mike in the right spot might be tricky.The crunch of that Kayman
But despite knowing that I still felt the same way about the crunch. It's very skilled work all round to bring such a complete experience together. I only turned over for a few seconds while doing something else and ended up watching it all.
That was great. I thought the jaguar was going to fish out one of the humongous otters, but nope, caiman
Must say, now look at Jaguars in a totally new light.
Any animal that actively goes out and hunts Crocks (Caiman is basically a Crock) is seriously born again hard!

I always wonder how much is actually "fake" sounds and how much is actually directional Mike use. You don't need a boom man a few feet away to get sound with a decent directional mic.
Love Sunday nights for the expert sofa critics to emerge...
You are talking nonsense.. And have no idea what you are on about.
The sound design is what makes this show...
Next people will be saying " I'm amazed they film it in that order"
Haha ! That capybaras reaction was like.. wtf.
Mate...it's all editing...you don't think for one minute they would be watching it like a spectator?

Oh here comes the resident forum know-it-all. Why are you always trying to derail threads with your confrontational way of posting? You're the same person who was having digs at the eagle cam last week and calling for "reality". One rule for you, one for the rest.
I'm talking about the silly sound effects when a lizard sticks its tongue out. I'm talking about the munching sound that was there when the railroad worm supposedly ate the centipede. I don't think it adds anything.
Interesting that you left out the "Wow. That was amazing." part of my post out.
I agree with the sound effects. There was one point where a lizard blinked and we were treated to a parody soundbite.
But the rain forest scene with the rainfall was really good. Totally post-produced but I enjoyed it.
The paraglider scene is a different kettle of fish. It's not like the sound engineers had to hire a helicopter to fly to the top of the mountain and sail down it to get some sound effects. Their effects augment the visuals. The glider gave us nothing but a mountain.

erm, sorry? I don't know if the second part of your post was directed at me or not, but I've not once pretended to be knowledgeable about how this show is made? I'm simply making a comment on a picture which was posted in this thread
The way the show is edited we can see that the storytelling is a huge part of Planet Earths charm.
They give the animals personality. The sound reinforces this.
Its so well done in fact that some people here think that the capybaras where actually spectating...
It's amazing how much time some posters on here spent arguing about little things.
Absolutely amazing show and who gives monkeys if they sometimes over do it on effects.
