You also forget that you have to walk back for 5 hours. The moment is just so beautiful. There are 600 mountain gorillas left in the whole world, so that is quiet dangerous. And than you get the chance to film them in the wild, it doesn t matter even if you have to walk 24 hours for it. But that also depends on budget.
Animal shows are one of the few programs in Holland that costs a lot of money.
For example when it s raining we don t shoot, we just wait until the sun is shining. That is a problem in Holland. Because there is less and less money to make programs they try to do as much as possible in one day. And these kind of programs take time. For a 25 minute program we shoot for 14 days.
