It’s been a very busy and exciting year for us at Maramedia with 2 big blue-chip series going out – Chasing the Rains (for SKY, Love Nature and ARTE) and Scotland the New Wild (for Terra Mater and BBC) as well as the second series of our popular kids series Olga da Polga (for CBeebies.)
The team have deftly steered through the very different worlds of live action kids, animals and animation to filming the wildlife of the snowy peaks of the Cairngorms to the severe drought of Northern Kenya.
We are hugely proud of our team and all the amazing people we work and collaborate with in this truly global industry. Telling stories that entertain and inform is our passion.
But behind the scenes so much work goes on to create our content - hope you enjoy these images of some of our recent antics from behind the scenes!
With a world in so much turmoil we hope you have a restful Christmas and look forward to working with you in the New Year!
And if you need some holiday viewing recommendations do catch up on our latest shows below.
