Octopus Camouflaged Beside Sunflower Seastar in 4K

This 6-second 4K 60fps underwater clip captures a brilliantly camouflaged Giant Pacific Octopus clinging to a deep rock wall beside a large sunflower seastar. The scene was originally framed to feature the seastar, with the octopus so perfectly blended into the terrain that its presence wasn’t noticed until a second pass with the camera while filming. Filmed wide for context, the moment becomes especially powerful when played at half speed, transforming the clip into a slow, cinematic pan where attentive viewers can appreciate the octopus’s astonishing camouflage abilities. (preview is slowed to 50%).

It’s a short but highly unique and layered moment. Both graded and ungraded versions are included with your purchase.
