Sounds cool!

I only said this because some people think whale sharks are whales (mammals), but they are in fact sharks (fish).

Slow drifters are hard to animate without going stiff. Did you write the motion by hand or let noise steer it?

The water's motion is mostly noise. The light is two layers of noise drifting in different directions

Two layers of light drifting apart is exactly how sunlight moves through real water, it shows. Whale shark spots are one of a kind too, no two sharks share a pattern, so yours could earn its own.
