"We have always been strangers to the night...a place of unnerving sounds and imagined terrors... but now new technology allows us to lift the vale of darkness .. all around the planet the most iconic animals are revealing themselves in a completely new light ...
When the light fades... new worlds awake!"

" One family, 40 different faces, they thrive in every landscape. From the frozen north, to the driest deserts ... from the most remote, barely explored places... to the heart of our modern world!
These are the cats!"
The secret lives of the worlds most mysterious cats are brought to light by advances in remote and low-light filming technology. In South Africa, we follow the nocturnal pursuits of the tiny black-footed cat that stakes its claim to the title of the world's deadliest, and in remotest Mongolia, we reveal the rarely seen Pallas's cat, at home with her kittens - she hunts by looking like a rock. Finally, in South Africa, we uncover the secret of the serval that thrives amongst the futuristic landscape of Africa's biggest industrial complex. These are remarkable cats, with surprising lives in extraordinary places
The principle camera for the shoot was the Merlin Thermal camera operated by Luke Barnett. Watching someone with his experience operating a tricky camera like that has been invaluable. Thermal can be a massive advantage or a huge hindrance and the line between those is very thin. On this shoot I learnt the limitations and the essentials of working with this unique bit of kit. Since this shoot we have taken this camera to new limits on brand new series such as Night on Earth for Netflix.
