Fun Facts

It was rendered almost entirely in a video-game engine. The film was animated in Maya but rendered using Unreal Engine for roughly 75% of shots and Houdini for the remaining 25%. Epic Games supported the production with two Epic MegaGrants, and the real-time rendering approach was chosen specifically because the studio planned to reuse the same digital assets across a prequel video game, an episodic series, and AR/VR projects.

The director spent 15 years developing it after a whale documentary. Reza Memari first got the idea while watching a documentary about humpback whales and their "singers." He spent roughly 15 years on the concept, pitching it to producer Maite Woköck (his collaborator on Richard the Stork) after years of marine research and story development. Preproduction with beat boards began in 2020, and full production launched in 2023.
