The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is Australia’s lead agency responsible for world-leading marine park management of the Great Barrier Reef. Guided by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act, GBRMPA implements collaborative monitoring and research to address threats such as climate change, coastal development, poor water quality and illegal fishing.
The Marine Park Authority needed engaging ways to express their work and highlight critical environmental events that affect reef health, such as coral bleaching. Equally important was communicating the safety risks for tourism and boating activities - including responsible whale watching practices on private watercraft - so communities and visitors understood how to protect the Great Barrier Reef and its ecosystems.
Assessing Coral Bleaching Events combined live-action production with 3D compositing and virtual environment design, integrating real GBRMPA representatives into immersive CGI reef landscapes through advanced rendering, lighting, tracking and post-production compositing.
Whale Safety was developed as a fully animated production, featuring detailed 3D modelling, character animation, and dynamic water simulations to clearly communicate marine safety messaging.
