Slow Motion Barn Owl Attack | Slo Mo #11 | Earth Unplugged

[@beckylietzow]

the shot from below was one of the most creepy things ive ever experienced. her eyes werent leaving the cameralens, or the "prey", for even the fraction of a second. terrifying.

[@wittywarbler1117]

Bro I felt like a prey animal in that moment

[@John-ei1wv]

Its cute😍

[@NoLifeButMyOwn]

Those eyes really stare into your soul.....

[@NoLifeButMyOwn]

***** Might want to ease up on the ganja while you surf the inter-webs, yeah? People might think you're saying weird things...

[@tenedria]

bet those eyes can hypnotize mouses... I mean when you really look at it, the face of that owl while attacking could look a bit like a mouse's face. Maybe thats why their feathers are white instead of being camouflaged.

[@JuanDVene]

tenedria They remind me of a Janus mask

[@gregwhitton2293]

I'm not sure precisely which, but native Americans used to believe owls were what transported souls into the after life

[@nalanix3058]

looking at an owl's eyes. is like looking into the void. but if you zoom out a bit its this little fluffy creature just wanting a lil rodent snack

[@Fugue602]

So majestic, but yet so terrifying.

[@bryandyer5454]

+Fugue State It's most terrifying if you follow its eyes the whole time.

[@CJCroen1393]

The last thing a mouse sees...

[@Fritzafella]

More accurately the last thing a mouse most likely sees is deadly sharp talons or the rapidly approaching ground (If a barn Owl doesn't immediately squeeze it prey to total death it drops it from an incredible height), but imagine being the mouse seing this angel of death racing towards you!

[@leolldankology]

To us this looks amazing and graceful, but this actually a rats bad acid trip.

[@heatherwind]

ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. The table view was freaky - watching her emotionless face as she swooped in like an angel of death. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time!

[@jordanlyons92]

They have the wings of angels.

[@georgedemean2228]

Jordan Lyons Back in Romania when you see Owls ...the Myth is like, they are reincarnate Angels of the loved ones that perished...coming back to visit. Round face and angel like Figure

[@mokihaname]

Jordan Lyons that's what I was thinking while watching the owl.

[@neopolly761]

And the eyes of demons

[@DidBer]

Or the dystopian eye of the CCP getting a grip on you, you could distort it in any other way... It makes me think more honestly of how grasping it is to realize birds in general originate from dinosaurs !!=_=

[@kalavaram_the_change]

They are angels

[@teerifying]

owls for me are one of the most beautiful creatures man has ever seen... and visuals like this is rare... thank you for sharing it to everyone. Enchanted.

[@dreamwarrior93]

Those wings I tell you! She's like an angel approaching! Well, not literally an angel, obviously. lol What I mean is her way of approaching as she was flying and moving her wings like that. It's truly amazing! BEAUTIFUL creature! :))

[@JuanDVene]

Until you hear the call of a barn owl. O_O That's definitely not angelic

[@dreamwarrior93]

JuanDVene I've heard their screeches...The first time I heard it, it actually scared me, giving me a heart attack. Definitely NOT angelic. O_OV

[@dreamwarrior93]

***** They say they were one of the Guardians of the Gateways of Hell. To keep any wandering soul from accidentally entering Hell by guiding them back to Heaven or something.... Maybe they really are "Angels of Death"....

[@dreamwarrior93]

***** It's got something to do with religion, I think Christianity in particular. I saw a youtube video about religions and they mentioned about it. But I don't remember the video anymore. Since owls tend to be seen as the Wise Owl or that they represent wisdom and that they can See All since they are active at night, that's probably why they chose the owls to be a part of religion and to be the Guardians of the Gates of Hell. But they're not alone as Guardians of Hell. There's another animal that also guards the Gates as well, but I can't remember what it was, unfortunately.... I'm sure youtube and google might have the answers we're looking for. Question is, where do we start? :)

[@leolldankology]

There are no rules inside the Matrix.....

[@EsReverni1]

This was so beautifully captured! I was mesmerized by her (owly) wings and intense focus that she appeared to be a hovering angel....until her talons came to view. She became a stunning angel of death. I just discovered these slo mo vids today (watched 9 so far) total eye candy. +1 Earth Unplugged

[@HBickford96]

Wow... This is why I love owls. Stunning creatures.

[@krowenj]

I’ve watched this video so many times over the past couples years but seriously every time it’s almost emotional, so incredibly beautiful....like an angel

[@apriljones1013]

The owl looks kind of hilarious if you imagine its wings aren't there. Just these long kangaroo-ish legs, a really short torso, and a huge head with no neck.

[@apriljones1013]

HarryTuningIn They would also look stupid if you got rid of the torso and were left with a head, arms, and legs just stuck together in the middle.

[@poniesanddragonsandartohmy9348]

+HarryTuningIn you guys are giving me photo shop inspiration

[@NataliaStrawn]

+April Jones Hahaha!

[@opencole]

Have you ever seen a kakapo? They're like wingless owls

[@teaartist6455]

Believe me when I say they've got plenty of neck, but even less torso than you think. i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/c8/9e/ebc89efefec26077f68db141e2bf71df.jpg

[@earthunplugged]

How does a barn owl spot its prey? Sam and Si get a closer look in slow motion

[@TheChaosDragoness]

She is so absolutely beautiful and graceful in her every move. This entire video encompasses nearly every reason why owls are my favorite birds.

[@gibbathanmadness666]

I love how she looks so deadly calm when she goes to get her prey

[@epicangellee4690]

it's so elegant in slow mo, but even without it, the barn owl is GORGEOUS o_o

[@puzzleme5]

That concentration is.....enviable. Just....perfect.... Over and out...

[@hanna-nilla]

this is the most beautiful magical thing i have seen in a long time, absolutely in harmony with the magical music ❤️✨✨

[@27blueace]

music is just so relaxing. great series guys

[@Dsturb85]

Nice music choice

[@uwu-uv4mg]

Barn owls look majestic yet terrifying at the same time... Kinda like angels.

[@dentjoep]

A pity you guys added a soundtrack to the video, cos one of the most amazing aspects of an owl's flight it the complete silence of it. But: amazing images!

[@OnlyThomasHayes]

It was in slow motion anyway. Sound track is fire too.

[@tiantian329]

This is the definition of an angel that has a mask with a beak on and bird legs for feet, and a tail. Beautiful.

[@josi4251]

This is one of the most beautiful things ever. I grew up with these gorgeous birds all around, but we hardly ever see them. They fly at night.

[@maryjoymunar4197]

Very angelic bird. How beautiful can real angels be?

[@JoyfulSeas]

So majestic and beautiful... It nearly brought a tear to my eye..

[@chrisdupon6769]

In the process of carving a life size barn owl in attack mode, this is awesome & will help tremendously.

[@janiceinga]

Beautiful, amazing, and slightly terrifying all at the same time.

[@raspberrysoda]

I love how the owl glow so bright as the light shines in her. Beautiful

[@agnesportfolio]

So beautiful ... The wings , eyes everything !!! Like an angel

[@Rony2453]

Like I imagine an angel flying.

[@JuanDVene]

Until it tries to speak. The barn owl will haunt your nightmares X_X

[@ThePolarBearProductions]

Thats why I think of the song "Angel of Death" by Slayer when I saw 2:49.

[@paran315]

JuanDVene omg I just heard that in other video

[@bozgur1995]

//\\\ ( O v O ) ///\\

[@miikeV33]

Veronica Vale Ditto!

[@MegDaunting]

These are so stunning, I would go to an art gallery filled with these videos. It's a new form of artwork capturing nature this way!

[@BirdHeartChannel]

The most beautiful bird on Earth and a wonderful video! Thank you!!!!

[@sivacharan4061]

Great job guys. It's flight in slow Mo is absolute beauty.

[@miikeV33]

This makes me want to master 3d animation just so I can make realistic angel wings on people.

[@ladysnake8449]

Deadly yet beautiful at the same time, never underestimate the bird of Lilith. OvO 💜

[@eevee2joltyon]

What terrifies me, is how shes so locked-on to the camera. And those eyes are so still, large and dark. And as she comes in to grab the prey at the camera you cant help but focus on her eyes as her talons come in to capture you. Beautiful bird..

[@maddiemoate]

This is just incredible.

[@rmaharaj69]

if angels are real, they have to look like barn owls

[@aliaborez3987]

Fascinating creatures! Gorgeous shots you've managed to get as well. You've managed to capture the creepy angelical essence that these fabulous and lethal birds of prey radiate with every second. Incredible!

[@starswater]

Incredible video. I am definitely going to use this as a drawing reference any time I need to draw wings in motion. Heck, even for a reference on feather details and how they actually appear when they're in a wing! There were absolutely some stunning shots of that in there, thank you so much for using a camera that could capture such details. Drawing singular feathers is one thing, but drawing a full wing and knowing _where_ to put the details so it doesn't look weird and over-rendered is a completely different ball game.

[@AniXi]

Insanely beautiful!!

[@Jude2353]

I was holding my breath, that was completely magical

[@ninekings3139]

Damn that face is scary as all hell

[@ladyofdinos]

that's what you think barn owls are cute when you see them in person.

[@tarkdasdan299]

You all need to watch Legend of the Guardians :)

[@pumpkinkill2937]

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

[@lobatalobatita6692]

I love that movie

[@InvalidationX145]

I was wonderfully surprised by this video... and was particularly surprised by how photoshopped her face looked between 3:52 to 4:07 just because of how still it is in comparison to the rest of the body. Eerily majestic.

[@electrontracker9914]

Beautiful creature.

[@صوتالحق-ب6ص]

Thank you very much for your creative scientific production. We wish you further progress and success

[@DiddyKongsTrashCollection2001]

2:55 majestically unnerving

[@neiljohnson1773]

How can anyone put thumbs down to this. This owl is perfection! To catch the flight detail on film is awesome

[@PurpleGiraffe066]

wow these slo mos you do are amazing

[@markymark3075]

Amazing, something other-worldly about the owl in slow motion, and a bit disconcerting.

[@anastasiaboyko7040]

That pov is actually terrifying

[@snakeblackblood77]

This is beautiful. Everything the bird does is beautiful and flawless. I bet the mouse was mesmerized by it, but then came to it's senses before it died. And I bet that when it saw no mouse, it thought "Ay man, why you gotta plat with my emotions like that!? "

[@jthrash1129]

The way her body is and wings are moving and her face is just still the whole time is freaking me out

[@Norman68623]

Wow, thats flabbergasting ! Lots of effort, but it was well worth it !

[@earthunplugged]

We will, we will!

[@Daaanieeel123]

Owls are one of my favourite animals. This is why.

[@AndrewBrownK]

pure magic, absolutely beautiful

[@kevinkilpatrick7510]

wow that shot from below of the owl's face is magic

[@mikejhm]

That is amazing. The nuance of wing movement to position herself... Thanks for filming and posting this.

[@chapus2009]

Wow, your videos are truly amazing. You guys seriously need more views, this is too awesome!

[@queenofnevers6990]

Like a beautiful dance. Especially the second one.

[@alinagareeva1147]

On that shot from the mouse perspective, the owl looked both like an angel and some creepy demon

[@ingajarvis3253]

I`m completely blown away!!! Thank you for helping my mind see all!!

[@GyroShrike]

I'm doing an animation of a barn owl and all of these angles and shots help so much. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@mikecairnssmith1877]

That is remarkable - the concentration of the bird! Well found Robert

[@AEzra-rl7qy]

Truly spellbinding.

[@FragmentedStrangel]

She is just beautiful. One of my favorite birds in all her glory.

[@ADTribalChild]

Truly beautiful in slow motion. Still, is it strange that I felt a deep sense of satisfaction when that barn owl gobble that dead mouse whole?

[@2shadowgamer2]

This is great for learning frame by frame animation

[@nicolewilliams6052]

So beautiful!

[@MosnoAlMoseeki]

Wow, that is one beautiful bird, loved the different angel approach as well. Nicely Done E.U. Team :)

[@carlosrios8837]

Beautiful and sinister at the same time.

[@squashedmike]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@mondragefly]

Wow!! You guys outdid yourselves with this video! Thank you for sharing! It's marvelous!

[@MrMaxlurifax]

The shot from the table scared the shit out of me.

[@MrBookbelt]

barn owls are like those little kids in horror movies.they look cute and innocent but they have a terrifying stare and can murder like its nobodies business.

[@Krimson5pride]

one word to describe them - elegance

[@1980lmt]

Beautiful! Eye on the prize the whole time!

[@ethancowgill6142]

It is amazing that these birds are actually living dinosaurs!!!

[@quazarus]

That's pretty intimidating to see: a barn owl in the night, looking right into your soul and you can do nothing to stop it from killing you.

[@DrowningInTea]

I love the ambient soundtrack. What is the name of the music?

[@245webster]

What a marvel of nature... there's not a single frame of the bird's flight that isn't beautiful.

[@donadonev5473]

My favorite Owl.... so beautiful and amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marjomarjosobrera4903]

For me its a definition of a art that chatch of eye of...artistic nature

[@banjocricketusa]

I was set back viewing this incredible video, with the same adjective for the Owl in-flight, with the slo-mo infused.

[@alpacasneedloveto]

Wow that mouse has a really cool camera!

[@starlitblond]

They are soooo beautiful! My gosh, I'm just fascinated by them! Owls are so cool! ☆💙☆💙☆💙☆

[@tonytomate4059]

thank you makin this cometrue!

[@RUPSIEISMYNAME]

Wow, that camera in the hay is like how a mouse saw his last seconds of his life. Scary!

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Probably my favourite bird, but many years since I've seen a wild one. Don't seem to be many here in south Wales.

[@devikotv6827]

Incredible!

[@Darkrunner75]

Owls are great. Love seeing them.

[@amandalennert6482]

now I know what a mouse sees before it dies

[@resingurl]

im truely awe struck. we have one always around here seems to like my one old tree in the backyard . I have a jungle goin always get the birds like crazy . But ill sit next to the door and listen to him hootin sometimes i can see him but dont wanna step outside and bug him. But seein this :) i adore them even more so graceful

[@Ali-tc8us]

This is absolute nightmare fuel

[@ajamu7465]

Amazing video. Really helped me with my studying. Thanks!

[@psykik4898]

listen to what this bird sounds like combined with the one where the owls coming straight at you and you have nightmare fuel

[@earthunplugged]

We shot this at 2,500 - we do for most of our shoots, though we have pushed it to 5,000 before with our goshawk film (have a watch!)

[@pigeons2215]

make the most speed ramped slow motion video ever on earth plz
