[Interpreter for Rene] And we're rolling.
Sue, where are we?
What are we doing here, what's going on?
[Interpreter for Sue] We're in(speaks in foreign language)
We're in northern chile.
[Interpreter For Rene] It's incredible here.
[Interpreter for Sue] I'm in the Atacama desert.
[Interpreter for Rene] With the number of beaches
we have here, Chile is a privileged country.
[Interpreter for Sue] We're going to journey through
the Chivoe Sea and also the Corcovado gulf.
[Interpreter for Rene] In these extreme areas,
it's fascinating to see how animals adapt.
[Interpreter for Sue] Chile never ceases to amaze me.
(playful music)
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Rene] As we've searched for wild animals
throughout Chile, we've had very little contact
with human settlements.
We always kept our distance from people.
(speaks in foreign language)
A human presence is always going to have some sort
of impact on animal.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Rene] As much as one might know
about the behavior and anemology of wild animals,
they always do something that's unforeseen.
They'll sit still in one place as you walk by them
so you won't see them but then they'll move somewhere
completely unexpected.
It's hard to sneak up and surprise wild animals.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Sue] Our goal is never to frighten
nor disturb the wild life.
[Interpreter for Rene] Depending on the species,
there are some animals that allow you to get
closer than others.
[Interpreter for Sue] We have to approach them
very quietly and very slowly.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Rene] It gives us an opportunity
to capture beautiful images of their natural behavior.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Sue] You have to have a ton of patience,
put in a lot of time, look carefully,
use your binoculars, and just wait.
But you also need a little bit of luck.
(slow paced music)
(speaks in foreign language)
My name is Susannah, and I'm an oceanographer.
I feel most comfortable at sea level.
Maybe that's because I'm British and I come from an island.
It's how I was raised.
We're seeing places that I never knew existed.
Amazing landscapes, an abundance of interesting wildlife.
It's really been a blessing.
(speaks in foreign language)
I'm the only woman on the team but that doesn't bother
me at all.
I have to listen to their craft language every once
in a while but I've gotten used to it.
It's like (laughs) but seriously, we get a long wonderfully.
I really get along with all of them.
(laughs)
In the team there's Rene, and how I can describe him?
That's it.
[Interpreter for Rene] It's like titanic.
(Rene vocalizing)
It's like that dancing scene with the girl.
(laughs)
[Interpreter for Sue] He's kidding around all day long.
(speaks in foreign language)
Come on, row.
But he's got a great vision and organizes the team
so, Rene is key.
Then there's Christian, dry.
We call him grandpa.
But he's actually not that old.
[Interpreter for Christian] Stop fooling around,
can't you see we're working?
(laughs)
[Interpreter for Rene] So Christian, how long has
it been since you've seen one of these pregnant males?
[Interpreter for Christian] It's been close to 20 years
now, maybe more.
[Interpreter for Rene] It's such a special frog.
[Interpreter for Christian] Which is more intense
than filming a puma.
[Interpreter for Sue] Seriously?
[Interpreter for Christian] It's way more emotional.
[Interpreter for Sue] He's overwhelmed.
[Interpreter for Christian] Definitely.
[Interpreter for Sue] Christian is also the Munoz
brothers dad.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Rene] There's an important chat
goin' on right now between the Munoz brothers.
They're discussing the limitations of the light,
at either dusk or dawn, and just general philosophy
about camera work.
[Interpreter for Sue] There's Toko,
who's effectively a smarty pants.
(upbeat music)
[Interpreter for Rene] Are you ready?
Is the camera loaded?
Alright, go.
[Interpreter for Sue] And Moris, who's our drone pilot.
(drone buzzes)
[Interpreter for Rene] Are you sure you can fly
with all this headwind?
(drone speaks)
(speaks in foreign language)
What's goin' on?
Can you fly and talk at the same time?
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Moris] I'm seeing a huge whale.
The size of it.
(slow paced music)
[Interpreter for Sue] Then there's Martin,
the sound master.
[Interpreter for Rene] Mic check, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Martin also studies bioacoustics.
He's always listening to us vocalize.
[Interpreter for Sue] That's right, he is.
[Interpreter for Martin] Technically I am.
[Interpreter for Rene] Then you should be a part
of the sequence, please Martins, come over here
and help us out.
Put the mic up to your mouth.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Sue] Having Mauricio with us has
been incredible.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Mauricio] So we have aerial shots,
land shots, with all sorts of lenses,
and the team brought me here to compliment
those images with underwater filming.
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Sue] Mauricio is a machine.
An underwater filming machine.
(laughs)
(speaks in foreign language)
[Interpreter for Martin] We've got the drone in the air,
filming the big overview, cameras on the boat filming
the surface scene in slow motion and at the same time,
I jump out of the boat and I'm filming underwater,
so now we can create scenes that take place up in the air,
on the surface of the ocean and below water all
at the same time.
That type of production is key to making the best films
in the world.
[Interpreter for Sue] So that's our crew, an amazing team.
(inspirational music)
[Interpreter for Rene] Since the beginning of time,
all kids have loved animals and then when you're 14,
15 years old, we kinda start to forget that.
I mean it's happened to all of us.
The world makes you forget but we've grown as a species
and evolved with animals by our side.
We hunted them and ate them and vice versa.
That relationship has always existed
and should always remain
and it's disappearing day by day.
[Interpreter for Sue] It's incredible how animals
can adapt to survive.
[Interpreter for Rene] To shape their habitat
to their advantage, changing it to better their conditions.
[Interpreter for Sue] I find it so interesting
that for example, you can compare a whale to a flamingo.
We've seen two animals that are in
completely different habitat.
One's a bird in a plateau and the other a marine mammal.
Yet they both adapted their feeding strategy so
they filter small crustaceans.
[Interpreter for Rene] There are still opportunities
to experience the wild, in remote places teeming
with life and animals.
That's what we need to preserve and that's where
we come in.
Getting to know these places from our point of view,
and our conscience by knowing what's out there and how
it all works, it's easier to protect it.
When there's an emotional connection to these places
and these animals, it's hard for somebody
to cross their arms and stand by doing nothing.
It's hard to not feel some empathy and wanna help
conserve these beautiful locations.
