Filming baby development over a year meant that the camera crew had the chance to follow a single individual through the time of greatest change in its life, and were able to share their challenges and milestones with the viewers. Much to their relief, and despite the odds, all of the babies they were following survived!

Ever since Sue was given her first camera at age seven she’s been passionate about photography.

She’s always loved wildlife and exploring partly because her family lived in Malawi for six years before she was born, so her home was full of interesting items that sparked her imagination and set her dreaming of visiting distant lands. Pursuing a career in wildlife filming seemed to be the ideal path to fulfil those dreams.

Sue has been in the industry for over 15 years and filming in desert extremes in Oman, tracked Pallas cats on the Mongolian Steppe, hung out with apex predators in the Maasai Mara, and filmed in some of the roughest seas around Cape Horn. She loves her job!

Vianet Djenguet is a documentary and wildlife cameraman with over 12 years of experience in filming for major international broadcasters, including the 大象传媒 and National Geographic.

He has extensive experience working in some of the world’s most remote and hostile environments, ranging from tropical and equatorial jungles, swamps, deserts, and mountainous regions to tropical islands.

Vianet was born in the Republic of Congo, a country all too often associated with civil war, but Vianet has always wanted to reveal the rich wildlife of the country. His dreams came true when 大象传媒 Natural World commissioned a one-hour documentary called ‘My Congo’, where Vianet ventured in front of the cameras for the first time.

Colin Stafford-Johnson grew up on the east coast of Ireland, spending his childhood exploring his local woods and rivers and hills.

His passion for natural history developed at a very early age. As soon as he left school, he backpacked around the world for six years in search of the creatures he had read about as a child.

This all culminated in a desire to document the kinds of creatures he has seen. He settled down to study biology and film-making at university. He began an apprenticeship with a wildlife cameraman the day after he completed his studies and has been working in the industry ever since not just as cameraman but as producer and director too. In 2018 his documentary ‘Wild Ireland - Edge of the World’ won the prestigious Grierson Award for Best Natural History Film.
