Tinangotsala ndi masiku awiri ndipo nyengo inali itatsekeka komanso kunayamba kukuvutani. Sitinapeze zithunzi zomwe timafunikira panobe ndipo bajeti yathu inali kutha movutikira. Mwayi wathu wojambula zithunzi za anangumi osangalatsa ku Peninsula Valdes ku Argentina unali utachepa pofika ola limodzi.

Maganizo a ogwira ntchito m'mafilimuwo anali mdima pamene tinayamba kuona kuthekera kwenikweni kuti pambuyo pa miyezi yambiri ya khama lotopetsa tingalephere kupanga filimu pa zomwe ziyenera kuchitidwa kuti tipulumutse anamgumi.
Kuti tipulumutse nyanja zam'nyanja ndikugonjetsa omwe angawononge ndikuzifunkha, tiyenera kufunafuna ndikupeza zithunzi zamphamvu komanso zochititsa chidwi zomwe zingafike mozama m'mitima ya anthu, koma mpaka pano zonse zomwe tidajambula zinali zosasangalatsa, zojambulidwa wamba.

Kusimidwa kunayamba. M'masiku angapo, ndalama zathu zidzatha, ndipo ngakhale masiku aŵiriwo akanatha kuchepetsedwa ndi mphepo yamphamvu ndi mvula, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti kujambula kunali kosatheka.

Makamera athu anali m’mwamba pamwamba pa matanthwe oyang’anizana ndi gombe limene amayi ndi anangumi a ng’ombe anali kumayamwitsa ndi kusewera—ndi kuyang’anira mwatcheru nsomba zolusa.

Kuopa kwathu komwe kudakula kunatipangitsa kuchita zinthu zomwe sitikanaganiza kuchita. Nthawi zambiri tikajambula nyama zakutchire, timayesetsa kuti tisasokoneze kapena kusokoneza nyama zimene tikujambulazo. Koma motsogozedwa ndi katswiri wina wotchuka wa sayansi ya zamoyo za anamgumi Dr. Roger Payne, yemwenso ankatsogolera filimuyi, tinakwera phirilo mpaka kunyanja n’kutulutsa phokoso la anangumi m’madzi pofuna kukopa anamgumi kuti alowe m’mphepete mwa nyanjayo. makamera.
Pambuyo pa maola aŵiri tinali okondwa pamene chinsomba cham’madzi chinafika pafupi ndipo makamera athu anawombera. Chisangalalo chathu chinasanduka euphoria pamene chinsomba china chinabwera, ndiyeno wachitatu.

M’modzi wa asayansi athu anadzipereka kukwera m’matanthwe a vertiginous ndi kusambira ndi leviathans. Ankathanso kuona mmene khungu la anamgumiwo lilili pa nthawi imodzi. Anavala suti yonyowa yofiira ndipo molimba mtima analoŵa m’madzimo ndi mafunde otsetsereka ndi kupopera mbewu mankhwalawa ndi nyama zazikulu zoyamwitsa.

Iye ankadziwa kuti zithunzi zosonyeza mayi wina wasayansi akusambira limodzi ndi nyama zazikuluzikuluzi zingamuthandize kupeza ndalama zambiri, ndipo ankadziwa kuti tinkapanikizika kwambiri.

Titakhala pansi ndi makamera athu n’kumaonerera zochitikazi, mbewa zinkathamanga mobisala ku mbalame zolusa. Koma tinali osalabadira. Cholinga chathu chonse chinali pa chithunzi pansipa cha wasayansi akusambira ndi anamgumi. Cholinga cha filimu yathu chinali kulimbikitsa kasungidwe ka anamgumi ndipo tinkadziwa kuti kuwombera kumeneku kungapitirire patsogolo. Nkhawa zathu za mphukirayo zinachepa pang’onopang’ono.

Patatha pafupifupi chaka chimodzi, titajambula zina zambiri zovuta, tinapanga filimu yotchedwa Anjazi, zomwe zinathandiza kulimbikitsa kuteteza anamgumi.
