Only two days after its North American TV broadcast, WALKING WITH CAVEMEN hits the DVD shelves on June 17, 2003 (BBC Video, $19.99). The Discovery Channel/BBC co-production breaks the mold of DINOSAURS and PREHISTORIC BEASTS by combining CGI, animatronics and actors dressed in prosthetics in recreating our earliest ancestors.
The disc contains the uncut BBC version of the documentary, which was shot on location in South Africa, Iceland and the UK. Among the extras are "On Location" interviews with special effects supervisor Tim Goodchild, among others, and a selection of storyboards.
Bill Desowitz, former editor of VFXWorld, is currently the Crafts Editor of IndieWire.
