Zoo Quest To Madagascar (1961)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for a series in which David Attenborough and a team from London Zoo travel in search of exotic animals. Their aim is to capture them and bring them back to the UK to exhibit in the zoo. David Attenborough goes on a quest to find the strange animals of Madagascar. The titles were filmed from printed captions on a rostrum camera and superimposed over the opening shot of Madagascar in a film optical.
