Luminous beings, creatures with their own internal light, enchant and astonish us. Anyone who has seen a firefly or a glow-worm cannot help but fall under their spell. The sea at night sparkles as millions of luminous plankton reveal the shapes of dolphins in a truly magical light show. 　　But why do animals produce living light? For centuries we could only marvel at the beauty and the mystery, but now for the first time we can begin to reveal the amazing truth about living lights. It has taken three crucial technological breakthroughs. Firstly, colour cameras have improved dramatically; they are now over 4,000 times more sensitive than a decade ago. The cameras are so sensitive they are revealing startling discoveries that until now we could not see. Secondly, scientists have entered the unknown world of the boundless deep open ocean with the help of a new generation of submersibles and robots. Thirdly, Ammonite Films have invented and built a series of unique cameras that can capture the faintest ephemeral glow of luminous life. 　　By combining these three innovations, this film shows creatures and behaviours never seen before. Sir David Attenborough is our guide as we venture into a new hitherto unseen world. Bioluminescence is everywhere: in the soil, on the land and throughout the oceans. 　　Join Sir David Attenborough and a team of the world's leading scientists and deep sea explorers on a quest to reveal the secrets of living lights.

生命像是柔软透明却又变幻莫测的柔软的光线一般，不停的变幻着自己的形态。 　　生命从诞生之日起除了照亮自己，还用自己的光芒照亮了新的生命。 　　来自日本导演柴田大平（Daihei Shibata）的一部唯美的动画。 　　柴田大平导演为我们创造了一种新的生命体，发光的纤毛柔软的绽放出如海葵般的优美形态，在漆黑的舞台上独自的跳着生命的华尔兹。 　　柴田大平那种日本特有的对于细节的探究和对美的定义在这部片子里面完美的演绎出来，以诗样的充满了无数细节的镜头，配合着细密的钢琴，绽放或凋零，最终联系在一起汇聚生命。这部片子对于光线的把握和使用相当的纯熟，曾经获得SIGGRAPH 2010的大奖，也被收录到了Stash DVD。 　　Music：Debbusy “clair de lune” 　　Piano：Naomi Yaguchi

David Attenborough follows the remarkable story of the discovery of fossils in the Patagonia region of Argentina which prove to belong to the largest animal to ever walk the Earth.

David Attenborough investigates the remarkable life and death of Jumbo the elephant - a celebrity animal superstar whose story is said to have inspired the movie Dumbo. 　　Attenborough joins a team of scientists and conservationists to unravel the complex and mysterious story of this large African elephant - an elephant many believed to be the biggest in the world. With unique access to Jumbo's skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History, the team work together to separate myth from reality. How big was Jumbo really? How was he treated in captivity? And how did he die? Jumbo's bones may offer vital clues. 　　Arriving in London Zoo in 1865, Jumbo fast became a firm favourite of Queen Victoria and her children, and was nicknamed the Children's Pet. Yet behind the scenes, this gentle giant was living a double life - smashing his den, breaking his tusks and being pacified by large amounts of alcohol given to him by his keeper, Matthew Scott. Scott had no human friends but had a deep empathy for animals, developing a particularly strong and near mystical bond with Jumbo. 　　Then, quite suddenly, London Zoo caused public outrage by selling Jumbo to PT Barnum's circus in America where he travelled with his devoted keeper to start a new life. But while his time in America turned him into star with 20 million people coming to see him, his life ended tragically and 　　mysteriously. 　　As well as Jumbo's skeleton, Attenborough explores the lives of wild elephants to explain Jumbo's troubled mind, and he discovers how our attitude to captive elephants has changed dramatically in recent years.
