10th Jan 08: “Whale sharks” with Dr Mark Meekan

“Whale Sharks”, a BIG Wave film Produced and Directed by the talented Emma Ross, featured Dr Mark Meekan from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS)This 2007 production called me in for the Christmas Island section of the film when Rory McGuinness the main DOP was unavailable. Despite the size of these animals very little was known about where they go and what they do. By fitting underwater tracking systems and even miniature cameras to the Whale Sharks we try to answer these questions and explore their world.
