Georgia Aquarium- Across the Ocean

Across the Ocean from Chelsea Sektnan on Vimeo.



This video file may take a few minutes to load depending on your internet speed. Don't despair, it's worth it! Go make a cup of tea, and when you come back, it will be ready!

After an evening at the Georgia Aquarium, it was impossible to not be inspired by all the beautiful creatures. On the way out of the exhibits, Across the Universe played, and inspired me to create this video.

This movie was made with over 4,000 photo frames and 3 video files.

An estimated 80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface and the oceans contain 99% of the living space on the planet. Less than 10% of that space has been explored by humans, and less than 7% of that is actually protected. We NEED to start caring more about the life under the water even though it's not often seen in our day to day lives. Please do what you can on land to protect what is under the sea. Recycle your trash, conserve water and do not dump anything that could drain into the water. Be thoughtful of all living creatures on earth.

Song by Fiona Apple- and of course, the Beatles. I hope they don't mind it being used for this!
