After being launched on BBC One in the UK, the Planet Earth III series was officially released worldwide at the end of last year. Episode 6 Extreme - Life in Extreme places with content about Son Doong and Va caves received nominations in 2 categories: Outstanding Cinematography for a Non-Fiction Program and Best Original Score for a Documentary or Special. The Emmy Awards are considered the Oscars of the television genre. The 2024 Emmys will be announced on September 15 on ABC.

The episode with Son Doong received 2 nominations for cinematography and soundtrack.

Adventure travel company Oxalis is the unit that takes care of all the organization and logistics for the BBC film crew to come to carry out the Planet Earth III project. Oxalis General Director Nguyen Chau A shared that along with Oxalis' lighting system, photographer Ryan Deboodt created LED lights attached to drones (an unmanned aerial vehicle that collects information and images - PV) to film the most difficult angles. Mr. Chau A assessed that this is one of the important reasons why the episode received a nomination for the cinematography category. Meanwhile, composers Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and Sara Barone are credited with breathing life into the episode, creating a vivid and engaging soundscape, taking viewers deeper into the spectacular natural world depicted on screen.

Sharing with Tuoi Tre Online late last year, Mr. Nguyen Chau A   "This is a film that captures the beauty and grandeur of Son Doong and Va caves like never before," said Nguyen Chau A, adding that previously, film crews used regular cameras or drones, and some of the beautiful angles were not bright enough to show the beauty of this landscape. This time, the film crew used two drones, one with a spotlight and one with a camera. This allowed them to capture beautiful scenes that no film crew had ever captured before, he said.

The greatest wonder is hard to see again

The film introduces the extraordinary survival methods that animals must fight to survive in this harsh world. The Planet Earth III series explores "the greatest natural wonders of the Earth that you will rarely see again" (according to the director, 97-year-old British naturalist David Attenborough). From mountains to oceans, from caves to deserts. There, the lives of species exist on the "edge of a knife". Speaking specifically about episode 6 Extremes , the director once said that in the deepest part of Son Doong - the cave considered the largest in the world, also one of the greatest natural wonders in the world, white fish are found in small pools of water. They miraculously survive thanks to the food source from the forest above.
