I missed it the first time, but then caught it later last night. Amazing stuff.
I have been throughout South America, Central America, Southeast Asia, India, Nepal, Galapagos, Iceland, Scandinavia, and other places and have seen some incredible wildlife and I watch a show like that and feel like I have never seen a thing.
I am working on a trip to Komodo and/or Vietnam for next year for some scuba diving and jungle trekking, but I may scrap it to go see those snakes. That was amazing!

I think a fair amount was...I have been watching the series and much of the talk is about things never captured on camera, how tough it was to capture stuff, etc. There was none of that last night, and if you looked close it appeared animated. I was watching on an HD Panasonic Plasma.

I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything one way or the other. I found a quote that the previous episode (w/ the snow leopard) was all film, but nothing making that statement about the whole series. No way to tell for sure I guess...my initial impression was that it was all filmed, but then I started looking really close during the sea snake scene and there were some shots where I just couldnt figure out how a camera filmed them, and then I looked a little closer and it really did seem animated. dunno, could be just me tho.

Animated? I'm gonna have to go with... highly unlikely.
Touched up for clarity or for HD or whatever? Sure. I don't know anything about that technology, but it is nice. Not animated though. I've just under 500 logged dives, and have seen creatures + underwater landscapes that simply defy imagination.
HD does look spectacular sometimes; but that film is the real deal.

I heard on a commercial they filmed the series for 5 years with film crews on call around the world. The footage is awesome! We like nature and have watched the series since the beginning. We also own the Blue Planet series. One of these has some excellant reef scenes. I think they do some animation when showing growth, but they also do speed some scenes up(migrating animals)...or slow them down...did you see the Great White out of the water? It was just incrediable.
