Film & Television: Shark Ideas
Big ideas make for big productions even if the production you have in mind is small in scope. That's the main drive behind Shark Divers: we can help you from idea to light's-camera-action.
In the world of sharks there are many story lines yet untouched, many sites yet unfilmed, and many 
species yet to discover. Using the latest tracking and tagging data, we are learning more about these animals on a day-to-day basis. What we are discovering opens volumes of new film and television programming and a new generation of thrills for the consumer. Shark Divers produces fully treated shark scripts, complete with on-screen talent contact lists and back-up site planning. We'll also act as your liaison with the shark research community sourcing new and upcoming screen talent and existing storytellers.
Here are a few story ideas and current trends within the shark community to get you started:
Great Whites-"Discovering the White Shark Café"
Off the coastlines of California and Mexico lurk distinct and remote populations of Great Whites. The Farallon Islands – know as the “Devil’s Triangle,” Ano Nuevo, and Isla Guadalupe, Mexico. These sharks migrate thousands of miles each year through hook and long line-saturated waters to a secret rendezvous in the mid-Pacific called the "White Shark Café".
Join famed shark researchers as they track individual animals from each of these unique shark sites and reacquire them in the mid-Pacific for the first time on television using high tech tracking gear, a Russian research submarine, and the world's largest shark cage system. What we learn will change the way the world looks at Great Whites forever.
Sharks "The Fin T-Raiders"
Over 90 million sharks are slaughtered for just their fins each and every year. This eco-based "who dunnit" follows four animals from reef, ocean, deep water, and eco preserve as they make their final voyage through the dark side of the shark fin trade. Following several secretly GPS tagged fins and using embedded lipstick cameras in shipping containers we discover where the fins are bought and sold on the world market and their final destination.
Along the way we meet a host of characters from local mafia to corrupt custom fish and wildlife personnel. We also meet the major corporate boardroom players involved in the sharks fin trade from Alibaba.com to California-based Yahoo!
Deepwater Denzines-"The Shark Sub"
Join a specialized team of shark researchers and biologists on a
multi-year voyage around the world as they introduce the audience to the
fastest and most photogenic underwater submarine on the planet. Built and ready to go,
this submarine is the first of its kind and can follow even the most
reticent animals. Once a tracking tag is placed on any animal – from the
Whale Shark to the Greenland shark – this submarine and camera system
can follow in real time. This show’s concept is perfect for IMAX.
Imagine landing this unique and telegenic submarine system on the deck
of a sunken aircraft carrier at Bikini Atoll surrounded by Tiger Sharks?
