Listen Later

Filming a wildlife documentary series shot entirely in darkness is now a reality! Thanks to technological advances in cameras, lenses and post production, executive producer Alex Williamson created EARTH AT NIGHT IN COLOR on Apple TV+ and gave viewers the ability to see the earth at night in vivid, remarkable color. 

Alex and Go Creative Show host, Ben Consoli, discuss using special low-light camera technology and astronomy lenses, the challenges of using moonlight as your primary source of light, maintaining sharp focus in the dark, and more!
