Explore the wonders of the deep ocean as you've never seen them before! In this collaborative film series, I am working with Schmidt Ocean Institute and their extensive library of 4K footage from an array the deep sea's remarkable ecosystems to bring their discoveries to light through a series of immersive films.
Below are the episodes in order (subject to change).
1 - The Twilight Zone
2 - The Midnight Zone
3 - The Abyssal Plain
4 - Seamounts and Canyons
5 - Hydrothermal Vents
I will also release two compiled films combining the midwater episodes and the sea floor episodes:
1 - Into the Abyss: The Midwater World (Full Movie)
2 - Into the Abyss: The Deep Sea Floor (Full Movie)
Schmidt Ocean Institute is a non-profit oceanographic research foundation that has been pioneering deep-sea research and discovery since 2009, on board their old vessel RV Falkor and their brand new RV Falkor (too), the most advanced marine research vessels in the world. Their remotely operated vehicle (ROV) SuBastian is equipped with a suite of sensors and a 4K camera that has illuminated the depths and live-streamed dives around the world.
All footage shown is filmed and provided by Schmidt Ocean Institute. Huge thank you to them for allowing me to access their footage, and work alongside them to create this series! Check out their website: https://schmidtocean.org
