Filming for the largest and most immersive LED screen on earth was an incredible challenge and required pioneering technology from new cameras to new ways of designing sets and handling animals on the most immersive set on the planet. Every detail had to be reimagined, and much remains a closely-guarded secret to this day.
The team filmed subjects such as jellyfish, chameleons, locusts, jumping spiders and praying mantis.
