Beneath the Surface:‬‪The Making of SeaWorld's New Killer Whale Show "One Ocean"‬‪

SeaWorld parks across the United States are counting down the days to the debut of the all-new killer whale show "One Ocean."  The show connects guests to the sea with a new level of energy, excitement and vibrancy as it educates and inspires them to make a difference in this world.  "One Ocean" opens at SeaWorld Orlando on Earth Day, Friday, April 22; at SeaWorld San Diego on Memorial Day weekend and SeaWorld San Antonio in June.

“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world.   The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show, encouraging guests to make a difference through everyday actions.

We will post a series of video vignettes now through the grand opening that take you behind the scenes with trainers, producers, designers and educators as they collaborate on every aspect of the new show - from set design, lighting and special effects to costumes and an original symphonic score.

First up is where every creative project starts:  the inspiration.
