Aerial Camera Systems (ACS) Provide Stunning Views Over Nature's Great Events

Receiving recognition for its excellence in film-making, the BBC's six-part documentary series, Nature's Great Events, currently being aired features aerial footage shot using the state-of-the-art HD CineFlex V14 stablilised camera system provided by ACS.
Shot entirely on HD, the series features a number of firsts within the filming world such as the first aerial footage of Arctic Narwhal whale migration as well as serial footage of a shoal of sardines 15 miles long.
ACS cameraman, Simon Wherry, had the enviable task of witnessing these events and the unenviable task of capturing them on camera in some of the most inaccessible places on the planet. With over 300 equipment and shoot days, filming took place in a variety of locations around the world such as Alaska, Tanzania and Okavango.
ACS Managing Director, Philip Beckett, said: "We are delighted to continue our long standing relationship with the BBC Natural History Unit with such an acclaimed series. We're proud of the considerable knowledge and expertise we have in aerial filming especially when it comes to capturing wildlife events, having also worked with the National Geographic Channel and the Discovery Channel, amongst others.
"With our HD Cineflex systems now placed strategically around the world we're confident we have the worldwide resources to support any Natural History production at an affordable production cost."
Aerial Camera Systems continues its work with the BBC NHU with the aerial filming for the upcoming three part wildlife series Yellowstone.
