OVERVIEW

Description

The idea consisted of revealing how Pescanova had discovered a new behaviour amongst shrimp. And how that behaviour had resulted in a new form of fishing technique and art-form.

This took the spectator through a documentary journey where we explained the discovery, the fishing art, and the key individuals behind this art-form.

At the end of the documentary, we would take the individuals through an interactive journey where they could continue to choose to believe our story and amuse themselves with additional content.

At the end of our interactive journey, we would reveal that of course this shrimp behaviour and fishing technique were obviously not true, and warned the spectators about the dangers of believing everything you see and read.
