Dismals Canyon – filming for Discovery Channel
Dismals Canyon and the Dismalites to be featured in an upcoming television series produced by the Discovery Channel.
Emmy award winning cinematographer Gavin Thurston filming at Dismals Canyon with his remote controlled cable dolly. He and his crew from Wild Horizons were at Dismals Canyon to film part of an upcoming landmark television series produced by the Discovery Channel. It takes an all-encompassing view of the North American continent from the arctic to Mexico, and covers topics including mountains, forests, deserts, plains, coasts and rivers. The series should air late 2012.
Wild Horizons is currently filming this landmark series for the Discovery Channel, and was at Dismals Canyon from April 25th to May 17th, 2011.
Gavin Thurston, the camera-man showed me some of the footage he captured. WOW! No wonder he’s an Emmy award winning cinematographer. You’ll have to wait until the end of 2012 to see it on Discovery Channel. He and his crew captured footage using time-lapse at night of Rainbow Falls and of the Dismalites doing their thing. Some of the time-lapse was captured while motion tracking using Canon 5Dm2. They did a lot of macro photography of the dismalites – in infrared. They also used a track dolly. They were there for 3 weeks, but I only got to see them on the last day of filming when they were using the cable dolly.
This video captured with iPhone 4.
