This is a paper scale of the set for the interior. We use this as a starting point for making the props and also the framing of the shots in the film.

Marina is an eccentric, hard working and independent marine conservationist. Her quirky nature leaves her to dress unconventionally and suits her job well, finding all sorts of bizarre wonderful creatures.
