In the deep ocean, life is concentrated at chemosynthetic oases where primary production is made possible via chemosynthesis at cold seeps and deep sea hydrothermal vents. The non-chemosynthetic regions of the deep are divided into two very different worlds. First is the midwater, where pelagic wanderers tread migratory routes that span entire oceans, and planktonic drifters and their predators take part in bioluminescent light shows. It is separated into zones based on depth, including the sunlight zone (epipelagic), twilight zone (mesopelagic), midnight zone (bathypelagic), abyssal and hadal zones. And below, lies the deep sea floor. A kingdom of mud and ooze, where sessile creatures cling to any solid outcrop and corals craft kingdoms on the seamount crusts. The worlds of the deep sea could not be more different, and yet their stories are fundamentally intertwined. In this episode, we delve into the Twilight Zone.

I've started posting some previews of episode 2 of this series, covering the Midnight Zone.
Hi all, I’ve been working on this film for 4 months, balancing it with University and other films, so I’m super excited to share this at last! Do let me know if you enjoy. It’s been a pleasure working with Schmidt Ocean Institute and the breathtaking raw footage they so kindly provided. Episode 2 - the Midnight Zone - is underway and I can’t wait for you all to see that too!
Your documentaries are on par with David Attenborough's ngl
I absolutely love your work. Thank you so much for providing such high-quality informative content! You put your heart and soul into these videos and it shows ❤
As will your other presentations - spectacular 👍
Thank you so much. I have to catch a 6am train tomorrow and tonight I'm having a tough conversation with someone. Your work always calms me down and helps me sleep, as well as teaching me new things about the ocean.
I do think you shouldn't take a sponsorship from Masterworks again, though. They don't educate their customers well on the risks of the art market.
Thank you for your work ❤
This is what I’m looking for.
No dramatised tv films, just facts about the natural world beautifully put together.
I’m one of the ROV pilots for SOI. That siphonophore was longer than 50m. That was just the outer ring. That glass octopus was also much bigger than 40cm. What a great video. Thanks for putting all that together
Amazing ❤
I envy you your job xxx
150ft all those different things put together was that long jeez
And they say there are no aliens..😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this entire video. The stunning otherworldly footages, calming music and your soothing voices. Looking forward to the next episode!
The production value in these videos are insane. Well done!
Thank you so so much, your support means the world!

What a wonderful addition to your already fantastic channel offerings, Leo! Mesmerizing and beautifully produced as always. I am absolutely awed by the amazing variety and beauty of the deep ocean's inhabitants, and truly appreciate your efforts to showcase them for us. I'm eagerly anticipating the next episode!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Danika!! This means the world, and your feedback is just wonderful!! Thank you!! It’s always brilliant to hear from you. I’m excited for you to see episode 2 when it’s ready! ☺️
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 not the bible verse
These documentaries are amazing. Honestly one of the best nature documentaries I've ever watched.

Thank you for presenting nature and ocean life in a way that doesn’t make everything seem weird, creepy, alien and crazy. I have dearly missed more matter-of-fact and down to earth presentations of nature that were lost for a while during the reality tv booms that gained foothold in discovery and animal planet.
I love your channel so so much. I can’t wait for more
Totally agree with you.. 👍 What a lovely comment
Yes, beautifully stated and absolutely spot on!👍🏻 I am often brought to the edge of tears by the stunning beauty of the delicate beings that Leo presents for us so well.
Not sure how anyone can watch this a not think how alien some sea creatures are...🤷🏻♂️🙏🇬🇧
@@drewhyland9574 And I sometimes wonder what these ancient Earthlings think of us relative newcomers to the planet invading from above...😉👽
@@Danika_Nadzan Something like "bloop ploob i'm now blind from the headlight shining directly in my eyes, thanks humans."
I'm only a bit over halfway through, but I wanted to say - beautiful work. You have such a knack for making these videos. I was completely enthralled (the footage of that Glass octopus took my breath away)and you've completely captured that childhood wonder I had while watching documentaries like this as a kid. Even how you narrate is perfect; gentle, clear, and slow. You've made something absolutely beautiful.
Grab your popcorn and goggles, everyone!! It’s going to be phenomenale
Oh man it didn't start and i'm already excited and sad that it will end
great video, even considering the wet popcorn
Phenomenal*
Got my snorkel! Let's dive!
I actually did eat popcorn while watching
It's like watching from a museum show, always fascinated about the water world.
Thank you so much for supporting me!!! And I’m so glad you enjoyed! ❤️
the baby jellyfish being born at 15:49 and starting to swim was too adorable i started crying
Lil squishy cutie 🤭
True definition of Cute but deadly😂
I have been so excited for this! Your work is absolutely fantastic and your dedication to providing high quality, free nature documentaries is wonderful! Thank you!
It’s my absolute pleasure!! This has been my hobby and passion project since I was 9, so feedback like this always blows me away. I still feel like I did as a kid, making these.
this film is so beautiful. the sound design, music, narration, and footage are all so breathtaking. the creatures are described with awe and respect instead of fear or discomfort. it’s very refreshing to see. i’m excitedly awaiting the release of the second episode!!!
Thank you so much, this means the world!! These films are first and foremost simply my hobby / passion project that I’m slowly hoping to adopt as a full time career, so hearing this kind of feedback is so wonderfully motivating. Thank you!
- Leo
weird moralizing
"The deep sea floor is, at first glance, a place of filth and decay -- destitute, perhaps, and full of horrors. But if we look a little closer, we uncover a place of beauty -- a realm where corals craft mighty kingdoms on the seamount crusts; where the delicate structures of sponges provide refuge for others; and where scavengers attend bountiful feasts that last for decades."
This is just _achingly_ poetic.
I’m currently in the hospital recovering from a surgery, and this is such a good watch!
Absolute gem as always ❤
Wishing you a very speedy recovery!! Get well soon, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the film ☺️
❤
Whoever did the sound design for this video did an amazing job. Really well done sound effects and background music to keep people captivated.
Thank you so much! That’d be me (Leo) 😁 I do everything except film the raw footage, which in this case was kindly supplied by Schmidt Ocean’s ROV!
Their footage comes without audio so I had to add in and design every water movement, every beat of a fin or swoosh. It was a lot of fun, and this comment’s made it feel like it paid off!! Thank you so much!
@@NaturalWorldFactsLeo, you are absolutely incredible! Keep it up!
@@NaturalWorldFactsit's amazing that you do all that by yourself! I love your work!
@@NaturalWorldFacts I loved what you did with the silver mirror fish, you gave them sounds like they were swords swiping through the air, I thought it was very clever.
Your editing skills are top of the class. The video and your matching sounds and music provide a sense of reality to engulf the viewer.
Thank you to Masterworks for sponsoring NWF and helping support my work! Masterworks: www.masterworks.art/nwf

❤ 👍 👍
So happy you are back
this was an amazing film:) ive always been deeply scared of the ocean rightfully so… but you did help me see the beauty in the ocean watching this video and i appreciate that
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it! 😄
I really loved this. I loved everything about this. I can't believe you made this by yourself, this looks like this would be something that would be shown on tv. I can't wait for episode 2. I always had a fascination with deep sea life
Thank you so much!! ☺️ This means a lot! I’m working on episode 2 right this moment.
@@NaturalWorldFacts So glad to read that! I'll eagerly wait to watch it. Your videos are not only top notch in editing and direction, even scripting! So much quality and attention to detail everywhere. I even love your music choices for the footage. Thank you for making these videos, I am sure they have brought more awareness about the deep sea and many natural facts in general than anyone can imagine. And communicated in such a masterful way that in my opinion would make anyone pleasant to listen to and watch (although I admit whatever target or public this has, I just know I'm part of it hahah).
This is the best channel I've found in a while. Incredibly written, narrated and edited.
Thank you!! ❤️ This channel is just a solo project / hobby of mine - I’m still a uni student - so hearing this feedback makes me very happy
I agree. Just found this now and am very impressed I subscribed within 4 seconds of the video starting
I would advise watching this with headphones. I decided to wear mine today and wow, I hear ocean sounds I never heard before. Your voice never disappoints - has a lovely, soothing quality. Channel is always interesting.
As a student interested in becoming a marine biologist, your videos remind me of the reason why I'm studying: the passion and love for the ocean and its inhabitants. Thank you for continuously reminding me of why I'm doing this all :)
Sometimes, I experience eramnesia and feel as if I was born in the wrong era of human history. There are times when I wish I had lived during the days of my parents' youth, or my grandparents. But watching content like this makes me feel the other way around. I cannot express how meaningful it is that living in the modern age means I can learn these endlessly fascinating things about the world I live in.
Take 50 years of modern medicinal progress away and youd beg to come back to our time haha
Wow, okay. So we have a full on high production value documentary here. You deserve a million views and more!
Thank you!!! 🥰 Honestly, I think this is the vid I’m most proud of so far
Preach! Attenborough all over again
Hi! Im currently working on my video game project, that is located in the deep sea. My man, you can not understand how much your videos are helping me out with the creatures and the rules of the deeps. Thank you so much for helping me. Thanks to your videos, I can listen to your amazing voice instead of searching a thousands of web-sites and forums on google. Appreciate your fantastic work! Keep going. Huge love to your videos
That sounds AMAZING!! Is there any way I can help, like if you need a voice in the game or a cameo or help with scientific advice? I’d love to see progress or get involved, send me an email if you’re interested :) you can find my email in my channel’s ‘about’ tab
@NaturalWorldFacts thank you so much!! I would appreciate the help!😄 Currently, im just working on the basic mechanics, but I'll email you if I would need help!
This is seriously higher quality than a lot of the films I’ve seen played in the big boy natural history museums!!!
Thank you so much!!! That’s crazy! I’m just a uni student who loves the deep sea a bit too much!

Just you dewsh.
Hell yeah dude why wouldnt i be

@@SadSatan11good one stoner. Back to mom’s basement you go.
Your channel is so underrated it hurts. No wonder it takes so long to produce a video like this, the narrative is so well written and thought out making it easy to understand and satisfyingly relaxing to listen. The footage are so interesting it really piques the curiosity within me making me want to see and know more about the nature, I didn't even see time pass. It really is a work that takes big effort and I somehow can feel your heart in it. So thank you so much for sharing this with us, please never stop doing this beautiful work, I'll be looking forward to it
Yep
@chrispyshade Thank you so much this is unbelievably kind of you!!! I can’t put it into words, I am just over the moon at this feedback. This channel is mainly just my passion project, so for that to come across from watching it is just wonderful. I hope to make these for years to come, my dream career is deep sea explorer and science communicator!
@@NaturalWorldFacts that's awesome! Anyone can see that you have a lot of potential and passion for this work, you can convey that through your videos it's really inspiring. One day I will see you post a video of your own deep sea expedition and discoveries, go for it, the secrets are waiting for you to share them with us hahahaha just joking. Keep on this path even if it can be tiring sometimes, you're already doing amazing and you will still get far, wishing you the best buddy
Thanks so much for your hard work! Your videos have me transfixed, so well-researched and calming, with lovely visuals, music, and editing. I always look forward to each upload 💖💕
Not only is this incredibly informative but it’s also one of the most relaxing things I’ve ever stumbled upon on TH-cam! I have a deep love for the ocean and your videos spark a motivation to learn more about it. I can’t get over the fact that you just do this as a hobby while in school, you’re beyond amazing for this
I legit thought this was like a TV documentary, really surprised to see it's a student's channel! Amazing quality on every aspect, what a beautiful film
I love these videos. No overly dramatic music, no jump surprises, no loud noises or obnoxious attention grabbers. If I'm feeling physically sick, I can still watch these videos with no issues.
Just wow. Your scripts for these stunning videos of yours, is both education and art. I cant believe this channel is real. Thank You
Thank you 🥰
Absolutely beyond excited for this! This is so much more interesting and way better production quality than anything I've watched in high school Marine Bio. Thank you NWF and thanks to those who have helped/supported this channel in making these amazing films and videos!
I really need to say thank you. I've been watching your videos for a while now and can see your steady improvement over time. Its astonnishing how well made your documentaries are, how knowledgeable you as a person are about what you are presenting to us, and how skillfull you are at giving your viewers an understanding of difficult marine subjects. I'm in love of your work. Thank you for every video you have done so far, and thank you for every video you are going to produce in the future. Keep doing what you are doing, cause you are doing it great.
Such a soothing narrator. I like to put the longer videos from this channel on while I'm working.
Oh yeah this is a relaxing 5am video for sure
The part where the firefly squid float ominously was so beautiful and haunting at the same time.
My wife and I have been watching these videos in their entirety for over a year now. They are also our favorites to fall asleep to as well! Thank you for your hard work on these. You bring not just well put together educational material, but also comfort, relief, wonder, and fascination.
Not just amazing in it's splendid photography and educational value, but the most soothing way to learn new things I've ever witnessed. Thank You for making this video and narrating it brilliantly.
So beautiful seeing all this footage.
I think Leo is a rare person who can make fecal pellets sound beautiful.
😁🥰 My mum was proudly scrolling through my video comments and sent this exact one to me in a screenshot. It made us both chuckle.
As a visual learner these kinds of films make me remember so much more than a book ever can.
I’m the same! It’s one of the reasons I always try to use almost exclusively footage in my films, rather than stills or random b-roll.
@NaturalWorldFacts Beautiful footage, great montage and skillfully narrated, with a good storyline to weave all the facts together. Bravo!
Thank you very much for sharing!
You still remain the only TH-camr whose videos I’ll set aside time to be able to watch with full focus.
Wow! I thought to myself when I first discovered your film that I had encountered something reminiscent of Wild Discovery or many of the older nature documentaries. However, what you've made here far exceeded this expectation. You have wonderfully descriptive, factual, and expertly written narration such that you don't embellish or seek to add to nature's beauty but yet you enhance the experience of it and plant the seeds of many thoughts, learning, and appreciation with it too. I don't know that I've ever seen scientific narration performed so skillfully! The cinematography is absolutely enthralling and very well edited. It flows and synergizes with your narration perfectly. I look forward very much to seeing more of your work; it is a true gift! Thank you!
just incredible, i can hear the quiet joy in your voice as you narrate over these wonders of nature, thank you and everyone involved for bringing this series to our screens for free! and thank you for reminding me of the beauty in life! it's humbling to see how life flourishes far away from human eyes.
im in awe!! i love the quality of each organisms' footage, im seriously in love with how magical all of them look. i also really love the voice over and explanations, i really like how peaceful it is and the soundtrack, how the choice of video works really well with the content of what you say and the way you say it (also really like the little spikes of excitement when your narrating hehe)
thank you lots!! really enjoyed it
I’m so excited for this! Your documentaries are amazing. Thank you for making them! ❤
Generic comment. What stands out about this video specifically?
@@dj_laundry_list
Oh please! It's a positive comment and all posts help the channel!
please never stop making these! i save watching them until i can truly appreciate them, and it is worth it! amazing!
as an autistic person whos special interest is the deep sea, it's so so so amazing that you seem to admire it instead of fear it. most videos i find about the deep sea are calling it creepy or strange instead of wonderful, and i don't think they understand it. i love your channel
The narration by these films, is absolutely brilliant. It's so well explained, I can easily capture all of the essence of the points being made over a long form explanation. As a guy who lost interest in certain topics, finding people who make topics fun to learn has really helped. Brilliant work.
I have been DYING for a deep sea documentary, and yep, this is it
I have a whole lot more deep sea films, if you’re interested 😉 th-cam.com/play/PLKzq2xKdfIovDttcqEyCyP_4F59tGotfw.html
@@NaturalWorldFacts I’ve seen a lot of them! I even recommended your videos to my zoology teacher!!
These documentaries of yours are a great comfort to me when I'm doing bad emotionally. I have cried to so much footage of deep sea creatures and i hope you're able to continue making these :)
I watched this while sad too. It helped a bit. Hope your days get better and that you have many wonderful times.
"A community of floating animals that reside at the interface of air and water." Wow what a beautiful poetic line. 🙌
The emotions I feel while watching this documentary, the loneliness of the denizens of the twilight zone!!! What a wonderful piece of art!!!! Thank you for such an incredible video
"This is your challenge, should you choose to accept it:
You are a transparent sea creature, living in the deep. Your delicious prey is bioluminescent. When you eat it, its bioluminescence shines through your transparent belly, making you a target for predators. Evolve your way to eating your favorite prey while retaining your virtual invisibility."
What an incredible video! Thank you so much! 🐟🐠🐙🐋🦈
The consistency in quality of your scripts and narration really do justice to the enthralling subject matter. I've learnt so much from your channel and thoroughly enjoyed my time doing so!
I find myself really curious about what the migratory creatures make of Sebastian's lights and cameras - I would have thought they might mistake them for daylight and try to instinctively dive deeper to maintain their camoflague from potential predators... perhaps even more curious about the abyssal creatures, which are used to perpetual darkness and likely have never even encountered a light source!
I would have expected at least those with eyes, being adapted for such low light levels, might be blinded and scarper instantly; yet for the most part they always seem as if it's business as usual on film!
TIA if you have either any known insights or personal speculations about this? In the meantime thankyou for another fantastic film, can't wait for the next!
I’m absolutely floored by this. I was sure this was just a clip from a BBC docuseries until I saw your pinned. Your production value is incredible!!! Very glad the TH-cam algorithm led me here, automatically subscribed and can’t wait to binge!!
Not even 10 min in and I am already getting the vibes of nature documentaries I used to watch as a kid. This is amazing. I really hope that you are able to go as far as you dream. You have no idea how much joy this brings me. Thanks for posting this. ❤❤❤❤❤
as a film student myself, this was breathtaking and extremely informative and mesmerizing! some of the shots in this film were incredible; keep up the stellar work !!
You have such a beautiful voice. Your voice matches the rhythm of this deep sea realm. Soothing, floating and eerie all at the same time. Your voice with this beautiful film made watching it a dream like experience. It was wonderful!!!!!!
Incredible research, composition and narration on your part and the footage is just beautiful. Amazing job 🫶🏻
🎶All I want for Christmas is a new NaturalWorldFacts video…🎶
I was so intrigued by the brief glimpses into the depths as a kid looking at National Geographics in the 90s! This channel is everything I could have hoped for as a nature lover, truly great! thank you for this amazing content, top tier documentaries!
Hands down one of the best oceanography videos that I have ever watched! A lot of love went into this to be produced.
Absolutely gorgeous, not just the footage but the narration, research and editing. thank you for this.
I'm not even half way and I'm almost to tears! This is beautiful! ❤ This is a masterpiece. ❤ Every single creature is so mindblowingly amazingly beautiful! People keep talking about aliens in space.. the aliens are here, right out there in our oceans! They need to explore more of the oceans, I cannot begin to imagine the kind of life we would find ❤
Found your channel recently... And oh my goodness. What an absolute treat. A gem of documentarian content not just on TH-cam, but media as a whole-- To think you're doing these substantial films basically by yourself is insane. You have a good eye for footage, a wonderful appreciation for the life down here, and an incredibly soothing voice. Perfection
Thank you so very much for this!! You’ve no idea how much this made me smile, goodness gracious! This channel has been first and foremost a hobby of mine since I was 9 years old, 11 years ago, so to have this kind of response is just wonderful!!
@@NaturalWorldFacts Oh my goodness, such dedication! That's absolutely wild. I reiterate everything I said again, and wish you a good 11 years more :} Again, it's phenomenal; real professional-grade stuff. Keep it up
i'm positively entralled by this video; every part of it is magical - the choice of background sound, the narrating style, the footage. it's such an amazing experience to watch it! thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing such a fantastic job here.
I can't wait for the next installment!! This is one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen, and it instilled in me that same childlike awe and fascination I have had with the world since I was a child--a feeling I too often forget these days. Please keep up the great work!! I'm in great appreciation and wonder.
Take your time and we'll be waiting!

Amazing video as always Leo! The Twilight Zone of the ocean is one of my favorites to learn about!
What a fantastic and engaging channel! The writing, narration, music, and cinematography are all outstanding.
I’m so excited for this! Your documentaries are amazing. Thank you for making them!
Really does show how beautiful and amazing the deep ocean (and ocean in general) can be
Been here a long time, this is a cut above the rest of your already excellent content. Congrats bro, I hope you will have the career you deserve!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!! This felt very different to create, in a good way, to my normal films. Working directly (and closely) with Schmidt Ocean Institute, who very kindly granted me access to their footage archives to make this series, was wonderful. They were so encouraging at every step of the way, and super keen to help me put this together in a way that did justice to the fascinating topics and their gorgeous footage
YAY! It’s finally here 😁!
THIS is the most BEAUTIFUL video I've seen on oceans. the emotion portrayed, the nostalgia, power to the creator, good job guys. thank you for bringing this amazing work to us all.
Thrilled to see this new post. The quality of your research, scripts and narration are absolutely superlative.
I really love your work, Leo! It has really enriched my life, fed my curiosity and also acted as a soothing balm to my existential dread and anxiety.
Thankyou. Simcerely.
I am beyond happy this channel still posts
These videos are so calming and relaxing also so fascinating at the same time

Ep 2 is in the works 😉 some amazing midnight zone footage!!! Can’t wait to share
I love all of your videos. I have struggled my entire life with severe insomnia, due to chronic migraines and anxiety. I haven't been able to sleep for more than 30-50 minutes for 4 nights until last night. I'm more than greatful for your soothing and gentle words and voice. Your video presentations are always inspiring. Marine biology and science will always be an interest of mine. Much love, I hope this comment reaches you to let you know you're appreciated from all over the world. Thank you! :)
Can't wait for part 2. This was incredible! An absolutely next level production.
This was beautiful to watch. The time and effort you put into this is obvious. This feels like I'm watching a documentary on Animal Planet. Everything about this video is phenomenal. I cannot wait to see future episodes!
Absolutely Amazing! Thank you so much for this. I shared this with my family and told them not to watch it on their phones, only their TV. I can't wait for the next one.
Thank you, I really hope your family enjoy it too!! I’d love to hear what they thought
Your video on the chemosynthetic oases is my favourite, im been focusing alot of my attention on it and to find a full length 1 hour movie about the life in them is amazing, subscribed as i should
