The Shape of Life is an 8-part documentary by Sea Studios, produced in conjunction with National Geographic and shown on PBS stations this spring. The site displays some of the amazing and engaging photography from the documentary, while also providing extensive information on the expeditions, scientists, and animal life covered in the show. kapow's challenge was to create a web presence that distilled the essence of the program, while utilizing the strengths of the Internet in allowing the user to browse through the information through a number of different pathways.

Site features include:
 

A homepage that highlights the visual splendor of the documentary, and gives information on which segments of the documentary are currently being shown on PBS.
 

Individual episode overviews that link to the featured animals and explorations.
 

A resource guide providing learning activities, related website links, a bibliography, and other materials to accompany the show.
