Mike Elliot latest underwater video "Escape" uses a Star Wars theme to illustrate the battle between a school of catfish sheltering in a coral encrusted car and a group of predatory hingebeaks and cardinal fish.
Shot in the Philippines, he skilfully combines soundtrack, shooting angles and tight shots to build a sense of foreboding! To quote Mike:
"I found these catfish at 90 feet and thought of this video."

Posted by secretsea18 on 06/26 at 02:39 PMGreat images, very entertaining, shame about any sense of biological coherence…
Posted by tdpriest on 06/27 at 01:56 AMGood one Mike. Your editing and music selection is very good! Keep it up!
Posted by FishTales on 06/27 at 06:36 PMDisclaimer - no catfish were observed being harmed or tortured during the production of this video. The Cardinalfish (with their scowls) and Hingebeak Shrimp (little soldier wannabes) are in no way responsible for keeping the schooling catfish captive. Their presence at the prison, oops car, was complete happenstance.
Thanks for the compliments and encouragement.
