Absolute zero

Has anyone been watching this. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Watched part 2 last night.
Did anyone notice the camerawork at the end? The camera travels low over grassland for quite a long way, smooth as a baby's bottom, with no vivible track to run on, then stays still for a while, then shoots high in the air for an overhead view of the presenter. That must have been one helluva boom. I would have loved to have seen how they filmed it. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Steve. I haven't seen the programme you're referring to. The camera work you are talking about could have been done with a radio controlled helicopter. They are being used for a lot of that sort of work. Much less expensive and not nearly so dangerous for the low level stuff as using a real helicopter. Check this link out.

I was trying to find something better. There's a lot of cool video being done that way. I guess in the shop it might raise a bit of dust.
