BBC One: Animals With Cameras
Capturing onboard footage from a chimpanzee was the first thing we attempted for the series, so when I arrived in Cameroon in West Africa armed with eight Go Pros and a briefcase full of screws, Velcro and Gorilla Glue I didn’t really comprehend the full scale of what we were trying to achieve yet.
Scientist Mimi Swift had already been on the ground for a few months working with these chimpanzees at Sanaga-Yong Rescue Centre, trying to encourage them to get used to wearing some kind of harness or collar, which would later hold the camera.
