ACTUAL MASTERPIECE

Saw the nature documentary Winged Migration at a friend's house today and it was great. The (French) filmmakers got some unbelievable footage of birds in flight, taking shots from gliders, ultralights, remote-controlled robots, and who knows what else. We simply couldn't comprehend how they got some of the shots - for example, close-up shots of ducks covering up on a mountainside during a storm in the Himalaya. This is the sort of thing the French do well and hardly anyone else even thinks to attempt.
