Time-Lapsed Video Breathes Life into Underwater Wildlife

University of Queensland PhD student Daniel Stoupin helps bring awareness to the threats to the Great Barrier Reef with his time-lapsed video, Slow Life. Made using some 150,000 photographs, the clip focuses on the rarely seen creatures of the ocean—coral reefs, sponges and other fragile underwater wildlife. Stoupin states, “Time lapse cinematography reveals a whole different world full of hypnotic motion and my idea was to make coral reef life more spectacular and thus closer to our awareness.”
