Sir David Attenborough's CEPSAR lecture entitled "Life in the Undergrowth" is now available for viewing as streaming video. In his fascinating talk, delivered in his usual relaxed and engaging style, Sir David recounted the changes in technology he has seen over his 50 years or more of natural history broadcasting. These innovations have allowed ever more intimate views of wildlife to be captured and often allowed the viewer to gain important insights into an animal's perspective on the world. His lecture was punctuated by film clips dating back to his early attempts to capture the displays of Birds of Paradise in Papua New Guinea using clockwork 16 mm black and while film cameras and asynchronous sound, to the real-time miniaturised colour video cameras attached to animals as diverse as sharks and eagles.
Introduction by Prof. Brenda Gourley, Vice-Chancellor, The Open University.
