The film maker is clearly an amateur, but for once there is no annoying music in the background and no transition effects: just two octopuses merging with the bottom floor of the sea.
When I was in elementary school, the older kids started
a rumor that quickly made recess a terrifying experience. I’ve been
wanting to make this film just so I had a place to put some of the
details of that rumor.
I animated this in flash, and did my backgrounds in photoshop. After Effects for compositing, and Protools for sound.
When an octopus decides it won’t be eaten by an eel, it becomes epic !
Harrison Stubbs, a photographer from NatureFootage, captured this wonderful scene. The octopus is literally riding the eel as in a rodeo, then exits in a blow of ink. Amazing !
