Scuttlebutt Reef! A TV spot for the Tennessee Aquarium

SCUTTLEBUTT REEF is an action-packed adventure, where visitors encounter odd undersea marine animals up close. Directed by Leif Ramsey for the Tennessee Aquarium.  

DIRECTED BY LEIF RAMSEY

The Tennessee Aquarium just opened a new exhibit, Scuttlebutt Reef, and it is chock full of strange undersea animals for people to encounter.

We helped the Aquarium produce an eye-catching TV spot so that families from Atlanta, Birmingham, and Knoxville are excited to make the trip and experience it for themselves.

We featured “aha” moments — like a distracted teen spotting a garden eel and being overcome with wonder, or a wheelchair user being able to immerse themselves in a more accessible tank design — because those moments are what keep visitors coming back.

This all-ages TV commercial was directed by Leif Ramsey and filmed by Chris Stiles.

Come see if the rumors are true…


Does the mantis shrimp really punch with the force of a sledge hammer?
