170. I Had a Dream I was a Jellyfish Floating Through Space
1 year ago
I don't know about anyone else, but I could watch macro footage of jellyfish all day long... seriously. Something about it that makes me feel tiny and in awe :P
Maybe it's because there's no scale reference in much of this video... and I can easily imagine I'm surrounded by bus-sized translucent jellyfish...
Okay... does anyone know if there is an IMAX movie about jellyfish? Cause if so, I need to go see that.
I took all this when Erica and I went to the Long Beach Aquarium :)

Mike: "That's what she said" :P
Thanks baby *
;)
haha <3 love it
That is all <3
nice video!
Thanks Loonachic :)
I agree. I could watch all day.
Not an indictment...just curious about how directors are dealing with their music... :)
Great video btw :)
The colours are amazing..
I would've used faster cuts though :)
Faster cuts? ;) If I would have shot a straight 10 minute clip of these jellyfish... I would have left it as is - ha ha. I'm strange...
what i want to know is: are those translucent blobs that create a rainbow sheen on their teeny little fins jellyfish? They're so cool. I've never seen that before...
Yea, the rainbow ones are jellyfish too - I forgot their name, but they were awesome... tiny little things. With your eye you couldn't really see that the lights were made up of little individual hair-like things. I had to zoom way in to get that detail... and the footage is slowed down to like 80% :P
amazing job, as always. :}
Oh and yes there is an IMAX with jelly fish. It's not purely for them, but there's at least a few good minutes on the many different species, etc. in the Deep Sea IMAX film. I'd highly suggest it anyway!
Although, now I'm all excited about 'Deep Sea' - Erica and I just watched a 3D film (at the Aquarium where I took this footage) and it was crazy-interesting.
only like a bazillion times cooler
... cause they're alive! :D
i remember you took some pretty amazing pics of the jellyfish back when we went to the LB aquarium.
i wish this was my desktop.
oh and btw- i don't think you could ride on one and they float through water not space :P
I think even back then my camera was low on power - why do I always go to see awesome stuff with no battery :P
You could make your desktop - there's apps that do that.
Don't piss on my dreams. Someday it will happen.
good video

You video was featured today at Scene 360 Video Channel, site of the day at Scene360.com and illusion.Scene360.com.
That's cool - do you have anything to do with that site?
Yes, of course. I'm founding editor, and I'm currently making the video selections for our channel.
the music choice was perfect.
And yea, I <3 Eluvium.
Have you seen them ?
There is the documentary and the fiction.
For fiction : you can begin by Aguirre and Sign of Life, and fitzcaraldo
For documentary : you can begin by My best Fiend, grizzly man, lessons of darkness, The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, La Soufrière
And after, if you want to go farther, he made more than 55 films... And also, his last movie shot in New Orleans with Nicolas Cage starring seems to be good !!
Actually, he was in paris these days for a retrospective : I saw him twice to introduce some of his last movies, he was a great speaking, very funny too...
they look so real and this lightshow one !
Great stuff, thanks for sharing this
Gorgeous.
Made me remember what one of Murakami's characters said when standing in front of jellyfishes in "Norwegian Wood":
"But one thing did occur to me when I was really focused on them. What we see before us is just one tiny part of the world. We get into the habit of thinking, This is the world, but that's not true at all. The real world is in a much darker and deeper place than this, and most of it is occupied by jellyfish and things. We just happen to forget all that... Two-thirds of the earth's surface is ocean, and all we can see of it with the naked eye is the surface: the skin. We hardly know anything about what's underneath the skin."
beautiful.

...Palau Islands, which contain an unusual jellyfish habitat.

Glad to meet you too!
Soooooooo soooooooooooooothing, thank you :)
I'll defenitely prescibe it to me when I need to slow down calm down and just relax some time :).
I know I have commented on this video before, but i just wanted to let you know that this has really meant a lot to me over the past year. Honestly, it has in some ways helped me understand how I feel about life.
"I hope that we are all jellyfish caught in the same current."
Just wanted to say thanks.
Sincerely,
Chris
I kinda' forgot about the contest till you left this comment - I guess I should write a blog post or something about it :P Thanks again!
