“Flight of the Humpback”
Synopsis:
“Flight of the Humpback” is a one hour documentary and interactive broadband website depicting the desperate battle to save endangered Australian humpback whales and other whales from the imminent threat of Japanese harpoons.

Producers statement

Flight of the Humpback is a perfect cross platform project with real educational and immersive interactive components. It is targeted at the youth but would have a large appeal across all ages. People will be able to communicate with their favourite musician or actor, go to sleep to live whale songs or see whales playing live, from their office, home or school. They can also participate in the fate of the creatures they are journeying with.
