Happiness is a Warm Kitten

Too Cute is a show on Animal Planet that features cute little critters ranging from kittens to baby sloths. That's right, baby sloths. Too Cute originally started as a special on Animal Planet, but because of the obviously awesome ratings/demand (I mean come on, who doesn't love cute baby animals?) the network decided to give it a regular time slot on the channel.I'm not sure if the idea for the show was spawned off Animal Planet's Puppybowl, but it is an cash cow.
 Too Cute is a documentary style show with a narrative throughout. It is semi informative, giving facts every now and again. The main factor of this show is entertainment and so you can drool over all of the adorable animals...not literally. I believe that this show will survive a long time on the network and, if Animal Planet chose, it is very possible it could make it into syndication. I think I'll just leave this video here and you can do what you like with it. It has adorable kittens in it. Just saying.

The Lengths the Cameraman will go to get ONE shot

One of my favorite shows to watch on television that amazes me every single time I watch it, is Planet Earth. The number one question I find myself asking is, how do they get that shot? I find myself fully intrigued in finding out how they get each shot. We never seem to realize what extent these cameraman go through to make Planet Earth as great as it is. As challenging and grueling the work load is I can appreciate how satisfying getting one specific shot could be.



After watching each Planet earth section they go over the most extreme and great expeditions the camera crew went through. The video above shows their quest to Pakistan to find the snow leopard
and the luck they fared when they found a mother and her cub and the hunt to survive. On the DVD, There is another video that is before this clip where a freelance videographer, Doug Allan traveled to Ladakh, in the Himalayas. He began a 3 year quest to find a snow leopard and was after 7 weeks he captured a few very distant shots. He obtained better shots with remote cameras and they he moved and the video shows the rest. It was amazing to me how much sitting time Allan endured and how lucky they truly are to tape these clips of the snow leopard.
