A video compliment to Radiolab's 'Loops' episode, in collaboration with producer Lynn Levy [radiolab.org]

[We featured the same species in the video that Radiolab features in the episode, so we're missing some, but you'll get the general idea. Thanks for watching. Please pass it along!]

    I love how this wasn't done with stop motion. Really great detailed work on the creatures.

    Thanks so much, Blake! The puppets literally took months to make--we started in June. It's been a labor of love.

    What a glorious thing you have made. It's so rare to find art reflecting the natural processes of death and decomposition. And by two women!
  • Sharon Shattuck plus 4 months ago
    Thanks, Caitlin! Hey, if you've got time, go back to page 1 (I think?) of my videos and watch 'Cadaver Lab.' It's not Whale Fall, but you might enjoy it. All the best--S
