A wildlife documentary based on perhaps the most camouflaged of all ocean fish, the leafy sea dragon. Shot mostly in South Australia, the documentary reveals exclusive footage of the sea dragons in their natural habitat. Feeding, courting dances, breeding and reproduction, including footage of a male leafy sea dragon as he gives birth in the wild, are just some areas covered in this epic tale. Not much has been recorded about these mysterious creatures, but as the documentary evolves, more and more secrets are revealed.
This South Australian animated film tells of Gavin, a leafy seadragon who gets lost, goes on a journey of self-discovery, meets whales, a shark, nudibranchs, cuttlefish and a sealion. His voyage along the South Australian coastline finally leads him home.
Directed and written by Jess Wallace; producer, Judi Oehme; animation director, Greg Holfeld; animation by The People's Republic of Animation.
