The Imaging Foundation utilizes its collection of imagery to weave captivating informative productions. These educational videos are available for download for educators and students. We make these productions available as both full size productions and podcasts to accomodate a variety of platforms.
Professional quality multi-media productions deliver the Imaging Foundation’s message to students, teachers and the general public. The productions focus on making a difference in the future of our oceans and the quality of life on Earth.
We use high-definition state-of-the-art video cameras with professional production techniques to bring the true beauty of the world’s creatures to the screen. No matter the length of the feature, the quality of the imaging makes the critical difference of delivering the full impact of the animal’s behavior and habitat.
Productions focus on specific challenges with recommendations for practical solutions. To learn more about our future production plans please visit our pages. There are also examples of prior productions and their impacts below.
The Imaging Foundation is proud to present our first production series. Targeted for 3rd to 7th grade classrooms, these short presentations simultaneously entertain and educate both students and adults. Volume One, “Turtle Life Cycle” discusses the turtle’s life cycle and their current threatened status. It also discusses a clever solution that seems to be "turning the tide" for these reptiles. Our second release, “Safe Passage – The Importance of Marine Corridors” is a whimsical narration by Alex Rocco as a whitetip reef shark, which is appropriate for elemenatary school children. Shark biology and their effect on the surrounding ecosystems are presented in this production. Viewers also learn about the critical importance protected corridors play in the success of marine protected areas. Each production fullfills multiple mandatory educational standards.
Impact: These educational presentations have already been downloaded many times and have been used by teachers and educators as part of their normal curriculums. Not only are students learning about these places, but they're also gaining an appreciation of the need to save and maintain them.
Production One - "Survival: Sea Turtles"
(Created During Grand Cayman 2006 Expedition)
In this video we explore the importance of weighing local traditions and cultural practices when troubleshooting environmental threats. Leaders at the Cayman Island Turtle Farm are simlutaneously protecting turtle populations and educating Cayman citizens and visitors about the turtle life cycle. They are winning the battle to balance the needs of Cayman's cultural heritage and lowering the risk of sea turtle extinction.
