Blue Serif to write marine research video series

Blue Serif, the writing consulting division of Blue Seraph Productions, has been signed to write story concepts and treatments for a video series showcasing the findings of the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long marine research project.
The video production, helmed by Pacific Grove, Calif.-based Lindsay Digital, is being overseen by the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University on the Monterey Bay in California, and funded by a grant from the Sloan Foundation.
Blue Serif’s Carlos Pedraza is writing a four-episode series of short videos that combine HD marine footage, new live-action scenes, still photos, CGI visual effects and 3-D animation in stories that illuminate the key discoveries of the international Census.
The Census of Marine Life is a global network of researchers in more than 80 nations engaged in a 10-year scientific initiative to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the oceans. The world’s first comprehensive Census of Marine Life – past, present, and future – will be released in 2010.
