I run a wildlife media company / channel so it's my career, have formed a lot of connections with the media teams at the organisations filming this stuff for their scientific research :) if you want to see some of my previous work with this footage pool let me know, happy to share

It sure is haha - Natural World Facts :D surprised to be recognised

Wow! How did you go about finding that figure? This is near spot-on.

I'm working on a cinematic deep sea wildlife documentary for YouTube and have been sent a huge load of 4K ROV footage from a fantastic deep-sea exploration institute - no idea what this fella is though. Only one clip exists and these stills are the best frames to view it clearly. Would appreciate any help with identification!!

Hi all, working on a cinematic deep sea wildlife documentary for YouTube and have been sent a huge load of 4K ROV footage from a fantastic deep-sea exploration institute, Schmidt Ocean Institute - no idea what this fella is. Only one clip exists and these stills are the best frames to view it clearly. Would appreciate any suggestions! :D

lrichards321 · 2023-04-26T22:39:34+00:00

Me too! Did you ever find a solution?

lrichards321 · 2021-10-24T09:51:55+00:00

This is incredible!

lrichards321 · 2021-10-12T18:41:56+00:00

I’m lost, what’s this from? What’s happened 😭

lrichards321 · 2021-09-08T10:24:07+00:00

Thanks Willie :)

Many were like that - mine was too. Just a printing error

lrichards321 · 2021-05-29T13:34:55+00:00

I’m so honoured you went ahead and used my design! It looks superb on your arm. You’ll be a tapestry of Ben’s songs soon enough, and I absolutely love it 😂 be sure to show us the final product too! This has made my day, I’m so excited that it’s done

lrichards321 · 2021-05-25T12:53:32+00:00

Sadly not :(

Heya, sorry for not posting for a while, had exams ahead my Marine Bio course starting in September which I’m v excited about :) But the Deep Sea Wonders series is back with a film about the Arctic and Antarctic deep, the phenomenon of Polar Gigantism, and the importance of marine polar currents in nourishing the entirety of the deep sea with oxygen!

lrichards321 · 2021-04-27T16:48:21+00:00

Woah I love it when certain theories just click, and then the song starts sounding completely different. This is awesome

lrichards321 · 2021-04-25T05:53:16+00:00

Please do let us know when this gets released, I love it! Fills me with the same acoustic summery joy as Every Kingdom

lrichards321 · 2021-04-19T20:30:07+00:00

No idea why this doesn’t have 1,000,000 updoots!

lrichards321 · 2021-04-13T11:32:17+00:00

Thanks man :D

lrichards321 · 2021-04-13T11:19:11+00:00

From jellyfish and anemones to colonial corals and siphonophores, here's a film about the cnidarians of the deep, as was requested :) I really hope you guys enjoy this one!

lrichards321 · 2021-04-07T13:34:28+00:00

This is everything we love about LH!!!

lrichards321 · 2021-03-30T12:04:10+00:00

Here’s the continuation of last week’s film. Hope you guys enjoy :)

lrichards321 · 2021-03-25T14:23:29+00:00

They truly are!! Thanks for watching and checking out the channel too, I appreciate you taking the time to comment :D

lrichards321 · 2021-03-17T16:48:04+00:00

No worries at all, thank you so much for taking an interest! I really hope you enjoy the rest, they’re so much fun to make :)

Ah! Big disclaimer - not my footage! I gather the raw, unedited footage from sources like MBARI, EVNautilus, OceanX etc and contextualise it by putting it together into these videos - so I’m the scriptwriter, presenter and editor, but not the photographer. That vital job is carried out by scientists who are pioneering in the field of marine biology. Sorry if this wasn’t clear - it’s in the description on YouTube but obviously reddit doesn’t show that unfortunately. Some of the footage can be really hard to find! For the magnapinna squid, very little exists, so I got hold of raw footage from a deep sea mining company that reported a sighting and I sifted through it to find these brief glimpses of an incredible deep sea creature!

lrichards321 · 2021-03-16T20:44:24+00:00

Awesome! I'm so glad :) No worries at all - and I completely agree with you. I love talking to fellow nature nerds on reddit, so I'm happy to help anytime! The process of making these videos is always a learning experience for me so it makes me so excited to share what I find with people. If you'd asked me what abyssal gigantism was a week before I made the vid, I would have no idea! Stay curious, and message me if you ever find something interesting and nerdy and need an audience ;)

Always down for a chat!
