Unlocking the Severn

An immersive exhibition experience bringing the River Severn's underwater world to life and highlighting a major conservation project restoring vital fish habitats.

We worked with the Canal & River Trust to create an immersive visitor experience exploring the importance of restoring fish migration along Britain's longest river.

We worked with the Canal & River Trust and interpretation specialists Creative Core to create films and animation explaining how new fish passes would reconnect 158 miles of river habitat and help protect rare species, including the Twaite Shad.

At Diglis Fish Pass, we created an immersive underwater experience combining animation, projection, sound design and UV lighting. Animated riverbed scenes surround visitors before screens lift to reveal the real river beneath, connecting the conservation story with the environment itself.

“It has been great working with Matt and everyone at Fuzzy Duck on this project. Seeing it develop from a storyboard to being projected onto the walls of the viewing gallery at Diglis fish pass as part of an immersive experience has been exciting. The animation helps visitors understand the aims of the Unlocking the Severn project, which is providing fish passage at six barriers on the River Severn and its River Teme tributary.”
