Fashion & The Frozen Planet.

 

 Fashion & The Frozen Planet.

The Frozen Planet, the latest piece of Cinematic genius to be launched by the BBC & Narrated by my natural science hero, David Attenborough. The frozen planet is the eye into the wilderness of the Artic & Antartic, looking at wildlife which we may not see again.
My first documentary I remember watching was a VHS called 'The Trials of Life'. I remember being just as wowed & amazed by the animals, plants & scenery then I am now.
Featuring camera work of Barrie Britton, researching skills of Adam Scott & directors like Chadden Hunter.


Despite what you may think, a polar bear's fur is not white.  Each hair is clear hollow tube.  Polar bears look white because each hollow hair reflects the light. On sunny days, it traps the sun's infrared heat and keeps the bear warm at 98 degrees F, helped by weighing 1'400lbs and thick layers of skin. As demonstrated by these thick layered knits by MIHARAYASUHIRO.



Orca, often refferred to as the wolves of the sea. Orcas (Killer whales) are camouflaged so well that prey such as fish, penguins, or seals are likely to miss the danger heading their way, as the killer whale once again proves it is the oceans' superbly designed hunter. MIHARAYASUHIRO demonstrates the 'British' camouflage in Hertitage tweeds & Charcoal pea coats for ultimate winter predator.


'The Frozen Planet' - BBC1 Wednesdays @ 9pm.
