"Pol·len" és la nova pel · lícula de Schwartzberg que parla sobre els diferents pol · linitzadors a tot el món. Disneynature és una divisió de Walt Disney amb seu a París i que compta amb diversos documentals relacionats amb el món de la naturalesa, tot seguint els passos del seu fundador, Walt Disney i els seus 13 documentals sobre la naturalesa i que van ser produïts entre els anys 1948-1960, sota el nom de "True-Life Adventures".

The films became educational tools in public school and aired on
television for many years.

We think Walt would approve of the new camera work and exciting
stories, in this case about the world's pollinators and flowering
plants. On April 22, 2009, Disney released the first Disneynature film
"Earth" which was followed the next year by "Oceans" which will be
followed on Earth Day, 2011 by Disneynature's movie "African Cats"
showing in US cinemas.
Beginning in early 2008, the Pollinator Partnership's founder, Paul
Growald, began presenting ideas to producer/director Louis Schwartzberg
of Black Light films in Los Angeles (www.blacklightfilms.com/home.htm)
about a pollinator movie. Ideas for such a movie had been bantered back
and forth at earlier NAPPC conferences by steering committee members and
advisors. Soon after, Dr. Stephen Buchmann, P2's international
coordinator was brought into the project by Growald and selected as
chief scientist and film advisor for the project by Schwartzberg.
Buchmann has a two decade history of working with Oxford Scientific
Films, BBC Natural History Unit, National Geographic and many indie
nature documentary film makers. He enjoys wrangling insects and plants
in the field and on the set. The main cinematographer, and Director of
Photography, for the movie, originally titled "Hidden Beauty," is
Tucsonan Mr. Keith Brust. Keith has won two Emmy's for his
cinematography and worked alongside the best, including Sir David
Attenborough where he worked on desert scenes as part of the
award-winning and viewer-acclaimed BBC series Planet Earth.
Buchmann recognized the need for expertise from other scientists and
NAPPC partners. He introduced Dr. Chip Taylor (NAPPC steering committee
member and founder of Monarch Watch) along with Dr. Ted Fleming (bat
biologist formerly with the University of Miami) to director
Schwartzberg and they were involved getting monarch and bat sequences in
the US and Mexico during the filming.
Pollinators in the film include familiar honey bees, the migrating
monarch and nectar bats along with less familiar bumble bees, and exotic
butterflies and hummingbirds from tropical forests. A 16 to 20 person
Disneynature crew followed the bloom and visited sites around the world
to capture exciting dramas of pollinators and plants at familiar and
more exotic locations around the world. Filming for "Pollen/Wings of
Life" took place in Arizona, California, Sonora and the mountains of
Michoacan, Mexico and Panama as a few of the sites the Disneynature
pollinator crew visited to get their spectacular footage of pollinators
and their plants. Cinematographers Brust and Schwartzberg worked with
custom "pinhole" macro lenses to achieve unique bee POV shots. They also
used a Phantom brand digital cine camera to slow the action of
butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and bats in flight to reveal the beauty
and aerodynamics of these colorful pollinators.
Filming was completed in late 2009 and by early 2010 editing,
composition of original musical scores and celebrity narration were well
on their way. Movie viewers will be treated to the masterful narration
delivered by actress Meryl Streep. Stay tuned to the Pollinator
Partnership website for future updates about when the movie
"Wings of Life" will be coming to a theater near you.
