National Geographic Society: Dr Alex Schnell demystifies what humans know about octopuses
Marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer Alex Schnell’s research is contributing to the expanding but limited understanding humans have of the mysterious lives of octopuses, their cuttlefish relatives and other species.
We worked with Director Lindsay Blatt to field direct and shoot the Sydney component of this video, filming Dr Schnell both topside and underwater to capture her on a dive boat, snorkelling and exploring tidal rock pools with her daughter.
