Megalodon Documentary
This is my documentary about the giant shark known as Megalodon. 3.6 million years ago, Megalodon went extinct, but it left behind huge, fossilized teeth. Join me on a voyage to the bottom of the sea, where I recover these teeth and explore the backstory of this ancient sea monster.

In space, there are planets called “ocean worlds”, which are fully or partially covered in liquid water. Some of these planets may be similar to those depicted in media, such as Kamino in Star Wars, Miller’s Planet in Interstellar, and Planet 4546B in Subnautica, and they may even harbor sea life. Currently, Earth is the…

I’m sure you know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but do you know the Street Sharks? Listen, this show was a 1990s fever dream. First off, instead of being mutated turtles, they are just regular dudes who were injected with shark DNA and turned into shark people. Like, look at this. Their transformation is truly…

The Florida Keys’ coral reefs may seem healthy and full of life, but in reality, they have become coral graveyards. Since the 1970s, the Keys’ colorful coral reefs have been dying at an alarming rate, and now, 90% of the coral in the Keys is gone. While scuba diving in Key Largo, I filmed the…

Before the Civil War, whaling was one of the few ways for African Americans to get ahead in a system stacked against them. Whaling fueled candles, lamps, machine lubricants, and even perfumes, making it one of the richest industries in America. However, it was also a brutal industry that sent men to sea for years,…

This is a baby tugboat. At 25 feet long, she is the size of a pleasure boat and can be put on a trailer. But don’t let her small size fool you. She has two John Deere engines that give her a maximum of 400 horsepower. That’s stronger than most pickup trucks and 4x more…

I randomly decided to make this short, silly, and downright nonsensical pirate animation the other night. It was supposed to be a looping animation for another 1 hour pirate music video, but it ended up matching with the first track (an instrumental version of “The Wellerman” by Alexander Nakarada) so well that I decided to…

Tyrannosaurus rex fully deserves the title of “tyrant lizard king”. They must have been super scary in their heyday. Way bigger and scarier than any lion, tiger, or bear. In this found footage video, a thrill-seeking cameraman time travels to the Cretaceous Period in hopes of filming this frightening beast. Will he be successful? Anyways,…

Here lies the wreck of the battleship USS Arizona. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, 1,177 officers and crewmen tragically lost their lives aboard this ship when an armor piercing bomb hit her forward magazines. The explosion was so deadly that the Arizona accounted for 49% of total American casualties during the attack. Until September…

Hello! I made this fun Christmas animation featuring dancing snowmen in Unreal Engine 5. I’ve been meaning to make an hour long video featuring Christmas music for, like, the past 3 or 4 Christmases, so I’m glad I finally got something done! Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Ps: No AI was…

From a young age, I have been obsessed with deep sea creatures. I love all wildlife, especially everything in the ocean, but the abyss is a place that fascinates me so much. Right now, it’s as close as we can get to exploring an alien planet with bizarre and unknown lifeforms, and it still holds…
