How are those shots between man and nature taken?

The BBC has a documentary "Animal Camera", which once introduced how scientists observe and record animals in the sky-installing a lipstick-sized miniature camera on a sculpture, which can shoot it soaring in the air from the perspective of sculpture. The peeping lens can go deep into the hive and see the bees' every move clearly. Thermal camera can track and shoot the whereabouts of warm-blooded animals such as elephants and lions in the dark by detecting the heat emitted by animals. The camera installed in the high-tech remote control model can go deep into the lions and shoot the life-and-death struggle of fierce animals or affectionate parent-child shots. Slow-motion camera can slow down the moving speed of animals by 1000 times, take the action of 1 second as 15 minutes, and record the details that can't be observed by naked eyes. Diving robots can dive thousands of meters into the deep sea and photograph the wonders of the ocean. ...

It is interesting for documentary photographers to try these new technologies. In Diary of the Emperor Penguin, photographer Jerome Mei Sen designed a scooter with a camera, which can slide around the penguins on the ice to shoot. In order to film penguins foraging on the bottom of the sea, they tied the camera to a big post, dived under the ice, and then dived to the bottom of the sea with penguins to shoot. Jacques perrin tried his best to film the migration of birds. In order to track these birds, they used five or six different planes, including traditional gliders, hot air balloons, helicopters, delta wings and remote-controlled planes with cameras. With the help of these aircraft, the camera followed the migrating birds, or directly mixed with the birds, all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole, from the sea to the snow-capped mountains, from glaciers to deserts, from Xanadu to swamps, and took many extremely shocking aerial flight shots.
