Every night across the globe, billions of zooplankton migrate from the depths of the ocean to its surface. This diverse community includes pelagic creatures that spend their entire lives in the open ocean, as well as the planktonic larval stages of various taxonomic groups. This short film, "Fall into the Galaxy," offers an illuminating glimpse into the enigmatic early developmental stages of cephalopods, while immersing viewers in the unique morphology and behaviors of these creatures in the open ocean at night.

Taken during scuba diving, reaching up to 30 meters deep in Batangas Bay, Philippines, the video showcases iconic species such as paper nautiluses, baby diamond squid, juvenile Wunderpus octopuses, and more. Since the average sizes of the featured animals are smaller than a thumb, the intricate details remain hidden to the naked eye, with the full wonder only to be revealed through the macro lens of a camera.
