Slow Life from Daniel Stoupin on Vimeo


Via Kottke, on Vimeo. As Daniel Stoupin, the creator, states at his blog and his Vimeo description accompanying his video, he required 150,000 "shots" to make this 3 minute and 38 second video, and most of it involves image stacking to give a greater depth of field.  He suggests it be watched in full HD (it has 4K resolution) on a large screen with actual image size selected.  He also asks that it not be used for sales purposes, particularly for the marine aquarium industry (not that he has any antipathy with that industry, he just doesn't want it used for its sales).  The underlying thrust of the video is that much marine life (heck, much life in general) moves at scales humans are not accustomed to appreciate yet it is extremely important to our well being.
