Galapagos: An Extra Sensory Mashup

by Prashant Kaw on December 17, 2008

OK, so that was totally link baiting because technically this isn’t a mashup in the web 2.0 sense. But from my point of view the blend of works from two talented artists to create something unique and beautiful could also be considered a mashup.

So what’s mashed in this video? While not extra-sensory, this visually stunning footage was inspired by Hans Zimmer’s haunting sound track from the Dark Knight. Apart from daring the waters around the Galapagos islands teeming with all kinds of creatures the creative Darek Sepiolo did an awesome job playing with the brightness to give it a darker effect to go with the theme.

Another reason I love social media — we would never have found out about some indy oceanographer whose footage rivals the works of Jacques Costeau and he surely would not have received the recognition that it deserves without it. Also check out Sepiolo’s other video, Sipadan. This would make Charles Darwin proud! Enjoy!
