Lucy Cooke is an animal explorer on a quest to crack the animal code

In this popular science series, Lucy meets up with scientists across the planet who are breaking new ground in the study of animal communication. As Series Producer Director I pre-produced the series, creating the stories, casting and scripting, shot on location in Africa, Central and North America with a new presenter, and edited the full series.  Shooting 14 different species of wildlife in varied and testing conditions from gesturing (and flatulent) chimpanzees, to flashing fireflies and a hippo chorus.
