Alaska The Nutrient Cycle - The Role Played By The Life And Death Of Salmon

Once they enter fresh water chum salmon stop feeding and morph into an aggressive creature intent only on mating. After spawning, they die and their bodies become a source of nutrients for everything in the forest and sea.

Shot over the course of three weeks with a Canon 5d and a GoPro camera.

Sound: Richard Nelson, Hank Lentfer, Riley Woodford and Henk Meeuwsen

Music: Smetana – Má Vlast (The Moldau) and Górecki – Symphony No. 3: Il Lento E Largo
