Netflix released a new behind-the-scenes video for their recently released nature documentary Life on Our Planet, showcasing how the team behind the series created one of its more memorable scenes.
The new video showcases the pre-visual effects work that went into creating a battle sequence in Episode 3 of the series. In it, VFX Director of Photography Jamie McPherson goes through a miniature display of what the scene will look like, filming toy dinosaurs with his phone to capture the feel of what he’d like the visual effects to look like.

What is Life on Our Planet about?
Life on Our Planet will feature 65 extinct animals throughout the series’ eight chapters, including Lystrosaurus, Woolly Mammoths, Plateosaurus, Anchiornis, and Tyrannosaurus Rex, to mention a few. Each chapter will also tackle the Earth’s rich history, such as the mass extinction events, life beneath the ocean, life’s way of invading the land, the history of reptilian giants, the aftermath of the planet-killing asteroid, the rise of mammals, and the ice age.
Silverback Films, the team behind award-winning docuseries Our Planet, teamed up with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment to create Life on Our Planet, alongside producers Dan Tapster, Keith Scholey, and Alastair Fothergill.
