We hope to be able to welcome Steve back to the Studios back soon for more of the same.” Series Producer Dan Tapster says: “Filming at The Bottle Yard has been a really good experience – the studio itself is a great space but given all the other facilities on site from lighting rigs to camera hire, it made the whole operation remarkably efficient.”įiona Francombe, Site Director of The Bottle Yard Studios says: “This ambitious BBC natural history series for children commissioned right here in Bristol is another great example of what can be achieved using our green screen studio, one of the largest of its kind in the country and the perfect playground for an exciting production like this featuring large engineering rigs and stunts requiring a lot of space. Using the latest modern technology, he even becomes a dinosaur crash test dummy – donning wing suits and night vision goggles to experience first-hand elements of dino design – on land, in the air and under the sea. Thanks to a series of huge engineering rigs constructed at the Studios, Steve recreates the power of an Ankylosaurs tail and the head butt of a Pachycephalosaurus.

The entire production was coordinated from the Studio’s production offices.ĭuring filming, Steve performed a series of epic stunts and brutal physical challenges at the Studios to get a sense of the scale and raw power that dinosaurs had – featuring Spitfires, tanks, helicopters and monster trucks. The all new HD series comprises ten 30-minute episodes filmed over four weeks in October 2017 in our giant green screen studio, where sets included a top-secret ‘Dino-Den’ complete with fascinating props and a number of animal visitors. Deadly Dinosaurs, the new series for CBBC and BBC Worldwide fronted by award-winning natural history presenter Steve Backshall, has begun this week, after filming at The Bottle Yard Studios last year.
