Fantastic series, as good as the behind the scenes clips at the end of the BBC documentaries! Make more things like this Vox !

[@RealEngineering]

Thanks for the shoutout to engineers at the end of the video Vox

[@adamleon9128]

Real Engineering cool i found another youtuber

[@Lius525]

Your videos are amazing dude! Happy to see you here. Everyone checkout his channel.

[@CharlesTheClumsy]

WOAH! You surprised me Mr. Real Engineering!

[@danielcuevas5899]

Real Engineering I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍🏽

[@RinkanFinkan]

Although I'm not in any way a real (or even fake) engineer engineers need a lot of praise. Where would we be without them?

[@CJ4mPJ]

Me: *clicks on the video* My brain is like: ...And you need to know this at 2 AM in the morning becauseeee?

[@TheOtherNeutrino]

Me: Shut up. I'm learning. My brain: Learning to want a Sony A7s camera...

[@Zacq768]

llooll it's 1:51am

[@MadMaXxFx]

Exactly 2

[@pigeonrat5522]

who are you if you aren't your brain?

[@tarajh]

02:18 AM check-in from 2021 here 👋

[@wafiqessop4034]

Finally, a narrator i can listen to wihtout my ears bleeding

[@pmvid]

Yeah

[@bilalrasool2318]

Jeremy Irons' narration is amazing in the documentaries he did with Wildlife Films

[@ShutterAuthority]

The shot of that baby monkey at 6:12 is incredible!

[@trackppl9038]

I love slow mo

[@Bas10x]

loved this series SO SO SO much, my favourite content you guys have ever put out in my opinion. very sad this is the last episode.

[@liawatson5789]

Blueberry Tent Have you tried Great Big Story? It rivals Vox.

[@JammyBandStudios]

Yea same I have loved this series so much!!!

[@dillanwhite]

Watching planet earth on Netflix i was hoping there is a series like this somewhere explaining how they work, cause its so fascinating ! Thank you for the Series, really enjoy the content

[@trackppl9038]

after 2 years and no comment?

[@janardanan3617]

Watch Our planet:Behind the scenes on Netflix😅

[@mrkylematz]

Now I want to watch a documentary series following the documentary crew filming Planet Earth.

[@birdie1641]

It exists it's at the end of planet Earth 2

[@hsdsaunders]

Yeah almist every last 15 minutes of BBC Nature 1 hour documentaries are the "Making of" that episode.

[@JammyBandStudios]

Who else absolutely loved this series? So informative and interesting, yet somehow relaxing too?

Joss Fong is my favorite, she's very skilled, plus she has an amazing voice, which I think is why it's relaxing. :)

[@wizzotizzo]

@ true

[@ForeverMan]

when her voice started at the beggining of the video I got so happy...

[@stevocanuck]

2:12 that was ruthless.

[@MentalEdge]

This Vox series about "how it was done" on the Planet Earth documentaries is fantastic.

[@Deynea]

Wow you really don't realise how advanced the BBC wildlife documentaries are untill you see videos like these.

[@neerajmohan274]

As a Filmmaker, I loved this Planet Earth series. It teaches you a lot about the history of filmmaking techniques.

[@oreodimasdale3840]

I love how each Vox presenters/researchers/writers have different take and mood when making their videos. My favorite videos are probably Joss' because her takes are engineering and natural science and I'm really interested in these fields as an engineer myself.

[@Rhaifha]

I love this series! You both get to see beautiful images AND learn how they were made!

[@bloodfiredrake7259]

2:13 damn nature you scary

[@wr5023]

I am in constant shock of how wonderful your technology and design videos are, keep up the wonderful work, thank you!

[@MuyenKamran1nehal]

I have to say these videos on BBC Earth were just absolutely amazing. Really informative and entertaining to watch.

[@SaintDannyxo]

Beautiful video. I wish there were more than 3 parts! As a aspiring film maker I found it so interesting to learn more about the techniques within filming and the equipment available. Brilliant work guys

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

Thank you so much for this incredible look behind the scenes of documentary film making, Philip Defranco recommend the first video in this series and I haven't looked back since

[@SuperCannibas420]

did BBC revolutionize like every aspect of film?!?! like wtf! haha

[@enalyppop]

@Username *the catholic church and american political elite left the chat*

[@alveolate]

they revolutionised wildlife photography for sure, but most of the technology/techniques were borrowed from other fields rather than completely new innovations.

[@kojisan1]

I really enjoyed these 3 videos about Planet Earth. Good job, Vox!

[@cavangriffin1514]

I'd just like to say how brilliant a channel Vox is. It's unique and informative, its interesting and extremely well produced with fantastic animation and voice overs; just something special on youtube and I dont think enough people praise that, well done to everyone at Vox, keep on making these brilliant videos.

[@JustFreddi]

Love that series about planet earth II! Thank you, Vox!

[@nibraasjaffri4217]
