Incredible footage. We are talking about the 1% of the 1% footage of these marine creatures man. There is almost literally no one else in the world who is or can get this type of footage. You should all be very proud. We're talking about remote marine areas and at depths humans don't go AND where it's pitch black normally. Dope stuff.
Yeah, I just learned about these things like an hour ago and I’ve watched like 10 videos straight of them, completely mesmerized However, I figure most people have also not heard of them because they’re so rare to capture. These people experienced and captured something super unique
The feather star swimming is so hypnotic and relaxing, I could watch that part on loop for hours. IIRC they have no centralized brain, which makes the coordination of its movements all the more impressive. Each limb is doing its own thing, but somehow it works.
I absolutely love crinoids, feather stars and sea lilies are in my top 10 favorite animals. I’m not really sure why I like them so much, but there’s just something about them I love (especially the way feather stars swim, it’s really mesmerizing) Rattail fish are also pretty cool. Drawing them randomly every now and then is pretty fun to me for some reason lol
It’s not every day that a rattail and a feather star have a near collision :) Love the feather stars, they’re both graceful and comical. I’d love to meet one in person. I admit I’m not sure how sociable they are, but I bet If I tried I could win one over ☺️
I never get tired of swimming crinoids. A commenter here described them as a mix of the beautiful and the comical, and I wholeheartedly agree. They're enchanting animals.
Back in 2012, I began creating concept art and models for a game idea I had, with one of the factions being nearly god-like machine beings. This creature and other sea life inspired my designs for energy emanations some of the created units would generate. Just beautiful seeing this and so many other exotic sea creatures.
This was from yesterday's dive? I saw like 80% of it and this I didn't see. But I have to say that I can't wait to see the highlights of yesterday's dive because it was so cool. 😊
Beautiful shot of the crinoid swimming. I've seen so many incredible creatures and coral and many other incredible things on your site. Sorry about my sentence structure. Rich J
Really beautiful video captures being documented here team and I love the soft background music... but could you please also upload a version of these videos without all the domineering distracting obnoxious chatter coming over the mic ?!? Thank you ✌🏊🔛
- maybe they could just type their input and observations into their laptops and then overlay any scientific relevant text of various input into a stream on bottom of screen?? Anyway, I actually like the music and it would be sufficient and very interesting to watch.
Be nice to the scientists! I agree that I would like a version with just music, but I also love to hear them geeking out over the cool animals and teaching the audience.
@@mildlymarvelous - thanks for reply, don't get me wrong gotta respect scientists! A cousin of mine is an Oceanographer that has been in a deep-dive submersible off the coast of Baja Cal and lectured at woods hole! I was specifically only referring to the editing and upload format of these otherwise very fine videos enjoyed by science geeks like me : D
Hmmmm i disagree, making these HIGHLIGHTS with lot of text or voice over info will probably end up turning them into documentary kind of video. Rigid and too formal. I think their telepresence is actually their main attraction. They're basically frontier of any research mission to turn this technology to allow viewers around the world into ocean explorers. Real-time. So i don't see why they need to change something that's not broken. There's a lot ocean animals videos on RU-vid with more documentary style you're looking for. Tho I totally understand what you mean, sometimes their chatter can be too much... But in my perspective, it just proves that scientist is just human too. Some might actually like the chatter, it's more engaging to non sciency people out there. And the fact that they're basically doing their jobs and still having fun.... I would imagine school kids who watch them will consider to become oceanography explorer too. :)
