Joy✨ A Sprinkle of JoyousJoyness ✨
Just another day in the ocean...
Have a JoyousJoyfulJoyness day!
Thomas Lobig@joyousjoyness not crab, but crap. This is not real video footage, but 3D graphics composed over video of some moving water. Sadly people seem to believe it's the real thing.
joy larkin 🌺✨No it’s real, the crab is a blue crab found on the US East and Gulf coasts and yes there are jellyfish in salt and brackish water. (I used to catch crabs just like that one as a kid.)
Also the audio is obviously outside, you can hear traffic in the background. Here’s the original insta, it’s from a guy in South Carolina (US East coast). https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ2nFPkNNTg/?ig_mid=5F52B034-C3AC-48C4-8049-8CE156F2E407
@joy no, the crab and jellyfish are computer generated @joyousjoyness

I think you are mistaken.
I can buy that this might be manipulated - ie the crab has been placed on top of the jelly.
But if this is CGI it is really good and somebody has spent hundreds of hours modelling a swimming crab (with only one claw mind you), researched how they move, created a realistic jellyfish model, done a ton of calculations to get the lighting thru water right, and unless they have access to a render farm, spend days, if not weeks, rendering it.
@Torstein the one thing that is great here is the composition. The crab you can download, the jellyfish, too. You can do this on an average computer with Blender in a days work. They botched the translucency on the jellyfish and the motion is way to hectic and very unrealistic, too. No need to do "calculations", just a keen eye and some 3d artist experience. There is footage of an actual crab riding an actual jellyfish and it looks nothing like this.

Where are the links to the blue crab you can download?

under the name blue crab I find Callinectes sapidus, but it looks different from the crab in the video.
This one looks more like it:

but it's not a perfect fit
