J.Ralph & Antony Hegarty (of Antony & The Johnsons) composed Manta Ray, a powerful song for the soundtrack of the documentary film « Racing Extinction ». We created the video to go with the music. According to the artists, the writing of the song was largely inspired by plankton images from our video for TED « Secret life of Plankton ». The video got major exposure when the documentary film and soundtrack were launched internationally.
