Dolphins and Whales and Hello

Hi, my name is Marisa and I’m a marketing/design intern for the spring. I’m a graphic design major in my Senior year at Messiah college. Tuesday was my first day with lots of introductions, tours, and other stuff. My day included getting to see and review the IMAX film, Dolphins and Whales: Tribes of the Ocean. Here goes:

 

Like the song of the humpback whale, Dolphins and Whales is hauntingly beautiful. This film is awe-inspiring and, at times, eerie. We are brought as close as possible to the sea life. On one hand we are probably closer than we want to be, and on the other hand, not close enough. No matter how close the camera gets to the male humpback, we still cannot decipher his mysterious song. No matter how close we get to the spotted dolphin, we still can’t join in his game of catch. There is an ominous sadness surrounding the lives and fates of some of these marine creatures. Some animals have only 9000 remaining in existence. Perhaps that is what causes the portrayal of these mysterious animals to be with an appreciativeness that is almost tender.

 

I’ll be posting regularly on this blog, twitter and facebook. I look forward to connecting with you again!

 

Sincerely,
Marisa
