11/07/2012
11th July 2012 - As part of an exciting new partnership, Nintendo has teamed up with award-winning Atlantic Productions - the company behind Sir David Attenborough’s BAFTA-winning ‘Flying Monsters 3D’ and triple Emmy Award-winning ‘First Life’ - to bring exclusive new video content for the launch of Nintendo 3DS XL on 28th July 2012.
The partnership will see an exclusive 3D video clip from Atlantic Productions’ ground-breaking Sky series, Kingdom of Plants 3D with David Attenborough, made available to download for free from Nintendo eShop on 28th July 2012, for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL owners to marvel at.
The exclusive minute-and-a-half clip is an astonishing look at the secret lives of plants, which was filmed at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (London), and shows a dramatic world otherwise invisible to the human eye. Filmed over the course of a year, the clip is a revealing and fascinating new look at plant life through the use of stunning 3D time-lapse filming techniques.
Anthony Geffen, Executive Producer of Kingdom of Plants 3D and CEO of Atlantic Productions, said: “We are delighted to bring you this specially-edited clip from the ground-breaking 3D TV series ‘Kingdom of Plants 3D’ exclusively to Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 3DS. It is a unique way to see David Attenborough’s new series in 3D without glasses, bringing it to a whole new audience.”
Sir David Attenborough said: ”Watching flowers develop and insects visiting flowers is always wonderful to see, but in 3D it becomes transcendental. Seeing this happen in such depth gives you a most extraordinary, vivid impression. It’s unforgettable.”
Kingdom of Plants 3D is available on Blu-ray Disc and DVD now, and is due to be released in IMAX and giant screen theatres in the winter of 2012. For more information go to www.kingdomofplants.com and www.goentertain.tv.
