Growing Up Animal: Youngest Baby Chimp Ever Filmed, with Producer Nick Smith-Baker 

“We were on the hunt for a very special event. Max and I had been following a heavily pregnant chimp through the forests of Uganda for nearly a month. According to the scientists, she was overdue, but she was working to her own schedule. Filming chimps is a challenge; their rainforest home is a contrasting mix of dark shadows and bright clearings and the chimps themselves move fast, walking more than 10 km a day through thick vegetation. That requires a camera that can perform in low light but must also be tough enough to meet the rigours of such a demanding environment. The RED #GEMINI5K fitted the bill perfectly, meaning that when she did finally give birth, Max was able to capture truly intimate images of the first hours in the life of a new-born chimpanzee, which had never been done in the wild before.”
