BAFTA Crafts 2011

The BAFTA Crafts Awards were announced last night at The Brewery in the City of London. BBC One’s Human Planet series won two awards for its Arctic episode; Jason Savage won for Editing: Factual and Will Edwards, Doug Allan and Matt Norman for Photography: Factual. This episode was not only technically demanding, but also extremely dangerous for the team, although it didn't give rise to the most stunning images of the series. The still above shows Bajau fisherman Sulbin freediving to spear fish. The Special Award went to BBC’s Springwatch in recognition of its outstanding creative and technical teamwork behind the camera and online. These are the only winning programmes I viewed.
