I saw this on Wimp.com and didn’t think it could be real until the end when the aquarium name came up. Absolutely stunning video, thank you so much for sharing the beauty.

You probably know already, but your aquarium clip is todays featured video in the “Technology” section of the website “Today’s Big Thing”. Why they put it there instead of the “Music” section, I don’t know… but that’s where I found the link to the high-def clip on YouTube. Love the clip, by the way… stunning. Instant +fave.

thank you for the amazing video. truly awesome.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:36 pm
This is such a great video. Very inspiring. I will download the music.
How did you get such great lighting? The tank is so well lit it looks almost animated while the people are in almost perfect silhouette except when the flashes flicker artfully.
I will investigate your camera, but I suspect the locale and the photographer count more than the hardware.
Thanks for capturing beauty and sharing it.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:16 am
That is an awesome video! And like you say Jon, we must protect them! For anyone interested, as far as I know this is the only organization that exclusivly does exactly that.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world…
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta; I was amazed by the diversity of marine life they had. Included sharks, sting rays, beluga whales and various jellyfish.
Then I stumbled upon a vimeo clip of the Kuroshio Sea Tank…

I was wondering what camera was able to shot images as beautiful as what my 5d Mk2 gives me… then I came here to be reassured when I learned it was shot a on 5d. Your video is a great example of what this fine camera can do. Thanks for sharing this amazingly peaceful aquatic ballet !

Hello Jon,
I was introduced to your video a few days ago and have watched it at least 5 times. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your talent with the world. The song choice is absolutely perfect.. quite haunting. Every time I watch it, I think a new thought. At first, I thought “how beautiful and peaceful” then I felt a deep sorrow as I wondered if one day my son would ask “Mom, do you remember when we had clean oceans?”. I made a comment on my facebook page and said “How beautiful and yet so sad… do they know they are going around in circles?” I’m not sure I was talking about the fish. Thank you for this very moving and beautiful gift.
All the best. Peace

Hi Jon,
What an amazing video! Thanks for making this, I turned off all the lights in my room and watched it on my huge widescreen HDTV and enjoyed it so much!!

You should film the Great Barrier Reef. I think that it would be absolutely beautiful.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:25 am
I love the simplicity and richness of this film all at the same time. I saw it for the first time this weekend and I think I’ll want to wathc it again and again for a long time to come. So calming and beautiful. Love it!

Hi Folks,

Many thanks
Paul

I would like to second that. This video is a piece of art. If you could upload it somewhere (perhaps even in 1080p HD? I assume this is the resolution you shot it in?) I would be very gratefull.
March 9th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Thank you man,
this is REALLY unbelievable and heartbreaking! Perfect work!
