At one point, while not-so-subtly telegraphing the dramatic finale, the “shark expert” says that sharks are attracted to “any rhythmic, low-frequency vibration.” 2026-07-04T15:49:04Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp83av2s2g699z8kj9ge9zfarre03thkw6m3kyuws4d5jy8pqwylqzyphx7962z379myuufq8md26lg3g85lju5q025dx5sa4m53er4nk8qqdtkl5 Please enjoy my new animated film: weird and just shy of 7 minutes, this took me weeks to shoot, draw, animate, edit and sing.
