DEEP OCEAN EXPLORER, SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM
Producer

Part of an 11-part series of commissioned for a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History’s Ocean Hall, this 15-minute piece plays on a theater-sized screen on a continous loop. It looks at the marvels and mysteries of the deep ocean from the perspective of those who have traveled into its deepest recesses.

Excerpt of review in Science Magazine, Nov 14th, 2008: 

“By far the highlight of the entire hall is the Ocean Explorer Theater. Here, in a video with vivid cinematography, a diverse cast of scientists describes with sincere awe their experience of discovery as they descend to the sea floor in a deep-sea submersible. The video moved me on an emotional level, reaffirming both why I love being a marine scientist and the powerful draw of the deep blue as our last natural frontier. I have no doubt that the theater and other effective parts of the exhibit will help inspire the next generation of marine researchers.”
