BBC to air first all-chimp movie: Directed and filmed entirely by chimps
Quote:
Chimp: Is this the new Orson Welles?
BBC in television first with chimpanzee-made movie
The results of an experiment in which a group of chimpanzees was given a video camera has produced a telly milestone to be shown later this month on the BBC.
The BBC is to show the first-ever film shot entirely by chimpanzees. No, it's not the result of massive budget cuts – it's actually part of a nature documentary that airs later this month.
Betsy Herrelko, studying for a PhD in primate behaviour at the University of Stirling, came up with the idea of giving the chimps a camera to see if she could learn how the animals perceive the world and each other.
Over the course of 18 months, Betsy introduced video technology to a group of 11 chimps living in a new, high-tech enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo.
She first tried to get the chimps to select images using touchscreen technology, but they didn't seem to have any particular favourite out of the options presented to them.
Then, a specially designed 'Chimpcam' – which comprised a camera inside a chimp-proof box with a screen on the top showing the image of whatever the camera was aimed at – was put into the enclosure.
The chimps soon became interested in the viewing screen, watching what happened as they moved the camera around and recorded new images.
It is not thought that the chimps were actively trying to record specific scenes or actions, nor that they had any idea that they were making a film by moving the camera around.
Nonetheless, further analysis of the footage is ongoing and may yield new insights into primate behaviour, and it's still a television first, however you look at it.
Who knows, given enough time, the chimps might produce Citizen Kane?

How do the monkeys know when to spew the gobs of simian sperm into the gaping red monkey ass?
