What I find interesting about this is we don’t see any of these creatures in the same shot. The whole narrative is constructed from disparate scenes to create new meaning with the help of audio to bring it all together.

Yup, someone out there is tasked with doing foley for a crab.

If any of this interests you, i recommend the book “Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness” . It’s a fascinating exploration of these incredible creatures.

Cuttlefish are all that and an LED screen flashing images of chips.

And I could swear I’ve seen them doing this at the airport.

The mesmer can open the jawlike recess in its protective outer shell in order to [ERROR463] share its beauty… Do not resist…
