2019... to make 8 episodes? Is this being filmed on some other planet/asteroid?

I thought that was strange too, until I ran across this:

"Five years in production, with over 2,000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, and shot entirely in high definition, Planet Earth is an unparalleled portrait of the third rock from the sun."

What those guys do is absolutely amazing. I say, take as much time as you need and blow us away once again! I'll wait!

By 2019 4K sets should be very reasonable in price

That's when I'll buy mine in 2019 for cheap. Just as they're starting to produce the 24K models for 2020
