Filmed predominantly in the grounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the series explores the marvels of the botanical world, in breath-taking 3D. As the series researcher I had the fabulous task of poking around behind the scenes at the gardens, discovering stories of incredible orchids and awesome carnivorous plants, as well as the wealth of expert knowledge that maintains Kew's status as one of the world's premier botanical gardens.
Directed by Martin Williams and shot by Tim Cragg, Kingdom of Plants 3D sees the gardens and nurseries at Kew transformed into a hyper-real world of rich colours, exploding pollen grains and previously unseen interactions between insects and plants. Mesmerising time lapse footage, shot by the legend that is Tim Shepherd and the immensely talented Rob Hollingworth, creates some of the most enchanting footage of plants ever captured on film - although I may be biased.
The series will air or Sky 3D in May, with an IMAX release set for later in the year. Here's a little taster for you.
