With over a million panoramic underwater images collected on our expeditions, resulting in the largest visual archive of underwater environments, it was logical we extended our work to include 360-degree films. VR allows for powerful storytelling. It allows the 99.9% of people who have never dived to uniquely experience the ocean - it's beauty and importance, and the issues it is facing.
Under our brand Seaview 360, we have produced and directed a number of award-winning VR films - films that take people on powerful journeys; that inspire; that celebrate marine protection as a replacement to over-fishing; that hero the work of scientists on the Great Barrier Reef; that demonstrate many of the issues the ocean is facing and what we can do to limit our impact.
Guardians of the Kingdom is an interwoven story of two mothers — one human, one whale — and the connections that bind them. It is the story of reconciliation between a giant who was once hunted and the people of the Kingdom of Tonga.
