Hi Folks-
I posted a similar message about a year ago, calling for story ideas for
the series, "Shape of Life". We're progressing quite well, and have secured
a partnership with NGTV to produce this series. We've cut the number of
episodes a bit, but rest assured that the annelids still get a full hour!
I'd love to hear from any and all of you that have interesting story ideas,
new developments, etc. You may reply directly to me if you like, rather
than to the list (it's up to you).
Thanx,
-Pat
The previous posting is given below for those who never received it:
I work as a research consultant with a group called Sea Studios. Sea
Studios, an award-winning video & multi-media production firm in Monterey,
CA, is in pre-production for "Shape of Life", a new science/nature
documentary series in partnership with National Geographic Television. The
series will be an 8-part (9 hrs total) exploration of animal diversity
focusing on functional morphology and evolution, aimed at the broadcast
market. Sea Studios has pioneered the use of many innovative techniques in
documentary production, and Shape of Life will use lots of high quality
video footage and animation to teach some real biology in an engaging way.
Each major animal phylum will be treated in at least one full episode, so
I'm working on developing an hour's worth of echinoderm stories. I would
appreciate any input regarding your recent or ongoing research,
interesting critters w/ neat & important adaptations, story ideas,
individual researchers/contacts, etc.; specifically w/in the annelids, but
in other animal groups as well. We are still in the writing stages, and
now is the time to wave your arms if you or someone you know has an
interesting story to tell.
Let me close by saying that if you have worked w/ photo or video/film
crews in the past and found it an annoying or unpleasant experience, the
folks @ Sea Studios are easy & fun to work with. They all have science
degrees & backgrounds, & understand what research is like. Please drop by
their website if you'd like to know more about Sea Studios:

Thanx for your time & I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
-Pat
