Netflix documentary - Studio shoot

Tim Shepherd ( Wildlife Cameraman and Timelapse Specialist ) - May 2022 reference

Ruth and Dennis at Project Jellyfish did a great job helping me film a Jellyfish sequence for a

forthcoming Netflix series about the state of the Earth. We did a shoot with adult Moon Jellies which involved Ruth and Dennis delivering and setting up a 250 litre tank in my studio in Devon. They provided all the water, tank, pumps and heaters etc as well as the jellyfish to film.

Another part of the story was the filming of jellyfish polyps moving about and budding in timelapse and then the whole of the strobilation process too. Project jellyfish provided us with the polyps we needed and the stimulation needed to initiate strobilation. The advice from Project Jellyfish was crucial to making the whole sequence work.

I couldn’t have done it without them - what a great team. Many thanks Ruth and Dennis !
