Sky 3D has been presented with a BAFTA for its Flying Monsters 3D production, the first time a programme captured in 3D has been honoured by the UK’s premier TV awards. It’s a truly remarkable piece of film-making by David Attenborough and the team at Atlantic Productions, and a ground-breaking first in television. Sir David continues his legacy at BAFTA. He has earlier won BAFTA awards for films in Black and White, Colour and HD.
The documentary film used a team of Portsmouth University palaeontologists as advisors. Dr David Martill and Dr Mark Witton were special advisors on the film Flying Monsters 3D that now has won best specialist factual programme in last night's British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.
The hour-long film, written and presented by David Attenborough, examines the prehistoric pterosaurs, giant winged beasts which dominated the skies millions of years ago. The team from the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (SEES) spent more than a year advising the film's animators and creating the models on which the animations were based.
The film sets out to uncover the truth about the enigmatic pterosaurs, whose wingspans of up to 10 metres were equal to that of a spitfire. The film uses cutting-edge 3D technology and CGI to bring the story of giant flying monsters and their prehistoric world to life.
Sky will now be airing a brand new 3D documentary fronted by Sir David Attenborough that will focus on London's famous Kew Gardens. The tentatively-titled Kew 3D is to be broadcast via the provider's Sky 3D service and will be the third 3D documentary the acclaimed naturalist has presented for the network. The programmes will offer a portrait of some of the plants housed at the 121-hectare site, which contains more than 30,000 different species.
