Coral Sea Dreaming - Awaken Multi-platform DeliveryUpdated: September 23, 2009 Coral Sea Dreaming - Awaken is currently being completed for release on DVD and BluRay at the end of 2009 and during 2010. The program is a mesmerizing and poignant celebration of one of the planet's great natural wonders. More than a DVD or BluRay product, it's a window onto another world - and David's passion! Several different ways are being developed to access this unique vision. A series of 'gala premier' showings are planned around Australia with details to be announced. This is no ordinary DVD or BluRay disc, it's a fully featured package of options - with many different ways of exploring David's world of coral reefs. Viewers can select to have a music-only experience, and enjoy the film as an exceptional relaxation video. Additionally, pop-up text with creature identification or interesting facts about ocean issues can be activated, turning the program into a powerful educational resource. Meanwhile, for a more classic documentary experience, ‘switch on’ an informative narration track, or peek 'behind the scenes' with David Hannan or Tania Rose. Alternatively, selected scenes or even the whole program can be played to loop on 'repeat' turning the screen into a fascinating marine aquarium. Enhancing the package is the inclusion of 60 minutes of additional, specially created 'virtual decor' in different styles for creating unique moving digital art displays. More in-depth 'educational modules' are currently being developed for separate release in the future, featuring a greater online presence. Some footage from the collection is also available for licensing to other producers. Coral Sea Dreaming - Awaken will be released in Australia & New Zealand late 2009 and world-wide during 2010.

Journey to AntarcticaApril 21, 2005 Antarctica - a huge, remote, pristine, mysterious, frozen wilderness continent, even today quite inaccessable to humans except for the few who dare and are lucky enough to venture there. A place that challenges a nature photographers imagination. Only during a few short summer months is it possible to briefly access its outer edges by ship before a long winter with howling gales and blizzards closes in once again. David, with Filmmaker Toni Davis, secured rotating berths on Linblad Cruises SS Endeavour. Altogether 5 voyages to the south were undertaken by David, Toni and ProCams Ian Bates along with Richard Todd of Aquarius Productions. |
