Vania what kind of shocked you my bitch let’s go for sure all right

I’m Allen Torchic and I’m a mechanical

I’m Allen Torchic and I’m a mechanical engineer with national Geographics

engineer with national Geographics remote Imaging Group my role in this

remote Imaging Group my role in this

remote Imaging Group my role in this trip is to utilize what are called the

trip is to utilize what are called the

trip is to utilize what are called the deep ocean dropcam’s

deep ocean dropcam’s

deep ocean dropcam’s it’s basically a camera inside a sphere

it’s basically a camera inside a sphere

it’s basically a camera inside a sphere that sinks down to the bottom of the

that sinks down to the bottom of the

that sinks down to the bottom of the ocean and films there so we can see what

ocean and films there so we can see what

ocean and films there so we can see what kind of creatures live a really special

kind of creatures live a really special

kind of creatures live a really special part of this chavis expedition is all

part of this chavis expedition is all

part of this chavis expedition is all the collaboration that’s going on

the collaboration that’s going on

the collaboration that’s going on between the scientists we have a bunch

between the scientists we have a bunch

between the scientists we have a bunch of different groups of scientists that

of different groups of scientists that

of different groups of scientists that are collecting all types of different

are collecting all types of different

are collecting all types of different data one group is collecting information

data one group is collecting information

data one group is collecting information about how organisms are traveling up and

about how organisms are traveling up and

about how organisms are traveling up and down in the water column in my data

down in the water column in my data

down in the water column in my data which composes of what’s on the bottom

which composes of what’s on the bottom

which composes of what’s on the bottom can hopefully be linked with that and we

can hopefully be linked with that and we

can hopefully be linked with that and we can complete an entire system that

can complete an entire system that

can complete an entire system that extends from the bottom all the way up

extends from the bottom all the way up

extends from the bottom all the way up to the surface

the oceans are really fascinating place

the oceans are really fascinating place there’s just so much going on everywhere

there’s just so much going on everywhere

there’s just so much going on everywhere all the way from the depths up to the

all the way from the depths up to the

all the way from the depths up to the surface

surface

surface there’s always exciting things happening

there’s always exciting things happening

there’s always exciting things happening in the ocean the deep ocean actually

in the ocean the deep ocean actually

in the ocean the deep ocean actually hasn’t been explored at all here so my

hasn’t been explored at all here so my

hasn’t been explored at all here so my cameras are able to give us a view of

cameras are able to give us a view of

cameras are able to give us a view of the life that exists down here which is

the life that exists down here which is

the life that exists down here which is something that no one’s ever seen before

something that no one’s ever seen before

something that no one’s ever seen before so this is really exciting for me

so this is really exciting for me

so this is really exciting for me because it’s a it’s a whole new frontier

currently I’m getting the getting the

currently I’m getting the getting the camera ready here I’m actually putting

camera ready here I’m actually putting

camera ready here I’m actually putting the bait on the camera we we use the

the bait on the camera we we use the

the bait on the camera we we use the bait with the camera to attract fish so

bait with the camera to attract fish so

bait with the camera to attract fish so they’ll come into frame another thing we

they’ll come into frame another thing we

they’ll come into frame another thing we have to get ready is still lights on the

have to get ready is still lights on the

have to get ready is still lights on the on the camera so you can see those LED

on the camera so you can see those LED

on the camera so you can see those LED lights that are actually inside the

lights that are actually inside the

lights that are actually inside the pressure housing and they’re going to

pressure housing and they’re going to

pressure housing and they’re going to shine out and reflect off these

shine out and reflect off these

shine out and reflect off these reflectors and illuminate the scene this

reflectors and illuminate the scene this

reflectors and illuminate the scene this is actually the release mechanism so

is actually the release mechanism so

is actually the release mechanism so like I was saying before we take a we

like I was saying before we take a we

like I was saying before we take a we take an anchor like this guy pretty

take an anchor like this guy pretty

take an anchor like this guy pretty heavy about 40 pounds and we’ll attach

heavy about 40 pounds and we’ll attach

heavy about 40 pounds and we’ll attach it to the shackle on the bottom and

it to the shackle on the bottom and

it to the shackle on the bottom and right here this is called a burn wire

right here this is called a burn wire

right here this is called a burn wire and it’s pretty cool what we do is we

and it’s pretty cool what we do is we

and it’s pretty cool what we do is we put current through the burn wire and in

put current through the burn wire and in

put current through the burn wire and in the ocean it’ll just corrode and release

the ocean it’ll just corrode and release

the ocean it’ll just corrode and release the weight

okay let go yep don’t go okay here it

okay let go yep don’t go okay here it goes

one of the most important things is to

one of the most important things is to actually recover the Dropcam we start by

actually recover the Dropcam we start by

actually recover the Dropcam we start by looking for the radio signal so I use

looking for the radio signal so I use

looking for the radio signal so I use that radio receiver and I kind of sweep

that radio receiver and I kind of sweep

that radio receiver and I kind of sweep the horizon and I’m listening for the

the horizon and I’m listening for the

the horizon and I’m listening for the signal and once I hear it I’ll hear this

signal and once I hear it I’ll hear this

signal and once I hear it I’ll hear this feat and then I can figure out exactly

feat and then I can figure out exactly

feat and then I can figure out exactly what direction it is and I can tell the

what direction it is and I can tell the

what direction it is and I can tell the captain hey look let’s go over here and

captain hey look let’s go over here and

captain hey look let’s go over here and we’ll drive over there and then we have

we’ll drive over there and then we have

we’ll drive over there and then we have to sit there with binoculars and scan

to sit there with binoculars and scan

to sit there with binoculars and scan for this orange flag because it’s just a

for this orange flag because it’s just a

for this orange flag because it’s just a tiny orange flag in this huge expanse of

tiny orange flag in this huge expanse of

tiny orange flag in this huge expanse of blue ocean

ah you can hear it

ah you can hear it it’s uh it’s out there

we just recovered both cameras which is

we just recovered both cameras which is great

great

great successful day so now the next step is I

successful day so now the next step is I

successful day so now the next step is I have to charge the batteries and

have to charge the batteries and

have to charge the batteries and download the footage and all I’ll take a

download the footage and all I’ll take a

download the footage and all I’ll take a look and see hopefully there’ll be

look and see hopefully there’ll be

look and see hopefully there’ll be something really cool

that’s a beautiful shot realize he was

that’s a beautiful shot realize he was all below 1000 meters actually

all below 1000 meters actually

all below 1000 meters actually that’s an integer

these all attracted to the Baker I think

these all attracted to the Baker I think so yeah right speed or the light maybe

everything that we find here is a new

everything that we find here is a new discovery so this is really exciting for

discovery so this is really exciting for

discovery so this is really exciting for me because it’s a it’s a whole new

me because it’s a it’s a whole new

me because it’s a it’s a whole new frontier you really don’t know what

frontier you really don’t know what

frontier you really don’t know what you’re gonna get you know sometimes I

you’re gonna get you know sometimes I

you’re gonna get you know sometimes I make predictions but you really don’t

make predictions but you really don’t

make predictions but you really don’t know until you’ve put a camera down

know until you’ve put a camera down

know until you’ve put a camera down there exactly what you’re going to see
