The New Zealand Tree Project brought together Arborists, Ecologists and Photographers to work towards a common goal. The NZ Tree Project is an innovative film and photography venture that captures imagery of majestic trees and native podocarp forests from viewpoints that cannot be experienced from the forest floor. With the National Geographic redwood images as inspiration the NZTP team spent a month in Pureora Forest to capture a composite image of an entire rimu tree and film a documentary outlining the history, conservation and future of the forest. The team used innovative mediums such as time-lapse, with custom built camera rigs, drones and 50m long cable cameras to create unique images of the forest from ground breaking new angles.
