Love Shark Baby, Yeah





The main players in my shark animation. We have a black-tip reef shark, a white tip reef shark, a nurse shark, a parrotfish, and a red grouper.

What happens is the parrotfish eat the algae, the groupers eat the parrotfish, and the sharks eat the groupers. If sharks are over-fished, the groupers will devour all of the parrotfish and algae will choke the reef. And as anyone who has a swimming pool knows, algae blooms are disgusting.

Reef Madness





These are for an animation I'm doing for a client, on the effects of sharks on coral reef systems. That's a healthy reef on top, and a toxic reef on the bottom, along with some of the critters that live there. I'll post more on this project as it comes along.
