Tsunami Preparedness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wavster · 02-09-2009, 10:50 PM

Not so much fishing related as it is Water Safety related.

Those of you who have youngsters may find this entertaining. My 5
year old daughters enjoy it.

I finished a project for the County of San Diego in September
and it was just released last Thursday. My company did all
the animation and post work. The story was written by
the County and lead voice over is by David Leisure (of Joe Isuzu fame).
This was done on an extremely small budget so it doesn't have the
depth of a Pixar short.

Its a 7 minute 3D animated short with talking crabs discussing how
tsunamis occur and how to prepare for them. It's slated to be delivered
to all the schools within 2 miles of the entire California coast.

It's not Oscar worthy, but someone might enjoy it.

It can be found on the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services
web site here. http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/oes/ready/kids/

Cool Vid. A couple of years ago I was fishing in dp and my wife called me and asked if I had just felt the earthquake. About that same time I started to hear some sort of air horn from shore, kinda sounded like an air-raid siren. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just kept fishing. Pretty freaky though.

Very informative.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure my kids will get a kick out of it.

Nice work Dave. You should translate that into Thai, Malay and Indonesian to provide a little tsunami education for that part of the world.
Well done.
