I hear what you're saying about those sessions...I've had to pull off some "miracles" in the past.
Over the years, some of my best friends have been the mixers ..they've saved my butt innumerable times ..and are usually amazing with what they can do with the odd "sows ear" :)
The sound on Planet Earth is unquestionably some of the most impressive on TV for a long while - very nice work! I'll have to check out that Mix article forthwith! I don't suppose there is an online version? What parts of the post-sound did you work on?
Fenton's music for that show was stunning; I hear he just received some award for it. That whole show was just a treat.
Cheers!

of all the people i work with, even including the musicians, i have to say the engineer is the guy/gal that makes it all work in the end.
we musicians play the instruments, you play the band.
btw, along those same lines, i've actually played on some sessions where "engineering the impossible" applied. lol
Good stuff.
My little girl, Grace, is fascinated by Planet Earth. She knows all the animals.. even the obscure ones.
We were looking at an animal book the other day and I pointed at a rodent, and she said, "chinchilla".
What?!
I looked at the sub-caption, and she was right!
Damn, I though it was a rat or a hamster. Nope. A chinchilla.
She knows hamster and rat are on another page.
2 and 1/2 years old. Crazy. I can't wait to show her that crazy bird that dances in the jungle. I've been holding out for an HD file before we watch them all.
