We speak to PrehistoricPlanet season 2 producers Mike Gunton & Tim Walker about the process of accurately portraying dinosaurs and other ancient animals in season 2 of the Apple TV Plus docuseries:
Prehistoric Planet season 2 is almost here, with Apple TV+ set to immerse viewers once again in the world of the late Cretaceous period. Returning are some fan-favorite dinosaurs from the unique docuseries’ first season, as is series narrator David Attenborough. The five-episode event series premieres May 22 on Apple TV+, with a new episode to be released every night.
Mike Gunton & Tim Walker on Prehistoric Planet Season 2 Screen Rant: Mike, I believe you had the concept for this show, which was then made possible with the help of Jon Favreau and his work on the technology side. Did this idea predate the technology, or did the technology inspire you to use it in this unique way?
Now, that extends across into the rest of the production team as well. We work with a great team of wildlife filmmakers, people that have been out in the field filming every animal imaginable on every continent, so they've got vast experience in terms of how things look and how you capture things, but also [in] the type of behaviors that you then see from animals.
Then, we find a location that represents that arena. We're using real-world locations as much as possible, because there's no substitute for the real world, [and] that nuance that you get from Mother Nature. In the case of the Beelzebufo sequence, we filmed that in Southern Africa.
Tim Walker: And that end of the process that Mike describes is what Jon Favreau refers to as the wabi-sabi. He's always talking about the wabi-sabi, which is the Japanese art of appreciating the imperfection. That is the sort of the essence of wildlife filmmaking because, as Mike says, an animal will do something once. If you don't get it all on camera, you've got to then work out how you build your sequence.
When you’re in that sort of circumstance, unlike a frog or something which has millions of [offspring], and just lets them all go, there's a lot of investment. When [animals] do that, you tend to have lots of assessment of your mate. If you're only going to invest in a few babies, you want to make sure you're investing in a good mate, [so] you tend to get dimorphism, you tend to get bigger males or different males and females, [and] you tend to get display.
Sound-wise, if you look at T-Rex, for example, you've got birds on one side of it, and crocodilians on the other. You look at the sounds that they make and sort of marry them together, and start to think, "Well, this animal must have made very very similar sounds. Albeit, it was massive; it was 12 meters long, and it was very, very pneumatic, and so it would have been very raspy. But you can start to build this, as Mike always calls it, spellbook all of these different strands.
