Swimmer & Great White Shark in Close Encounter
What if your fear of sharks isn’t about the shark at all… but about the music? In this video, I revisit one of the most-watched shark encounters ever — a swimmer unknowingly passing a great white shark — to show just how much music changes what we feel and believe we’re seeing. Same footage. Same shark. Two completely different emotions. If you want high-quality, cinematic music for your own videos, check out Soundstripe here: www.soundstripe.com Check out my favorite Shark soundtrack selections in my playlist! https://app.soundstripe.com/playlists/music/550231 🎵 Special thanks to Soundstripe for sponsoring this video and for supporting real musicians (not AI) who bring these moments to life. 💬 Which version felt more real to you? — the calm one or the dramatic one? Let me know in the comments. 🐋 Watch next: [https://youtu.be/c37dmHnQ-60?si=Rotyg9pD4QYJsCas] 📸 Follow more shark encounters on Instagram: @TheMalibuArtist — About This Video: Captured along the California coast, this juvenile great white shark encounter shows how peaceful — and misunderstood — these moments can be. When paired with calm music, the scene feels serene and natural. Add a suspenseful soundtrack, and it suddenly becomes a thriller. This video explores how sound design and the legacy of Jaws have shaped how we view one of the ocean’s most remarkable animals. — Timestamps: 00:00 You’ve seen this clip before… 01:05 The power of music 01:35 Calm version — the natural encounter 04:08 Scary version — the Jaws effect 06:00 How music shapes emotion 07:02 Young Swimmers Get Close to Great White Shark MERCH store is now LIVE.

This is a pretty large white shark. For reference, the kayak in this shot is 15 feet. #greatwhite

Great White Sharks in Incredibly Clear Water!
October didn’t disappoint. From kayaks crossing paths with massive great white sharks to the clearest water I’ve ever filmed in Southern California, this month had everything — beauty, intensity, and a few unforgettable moments. In this monthly wrap-up, I’m sharing unseen footage from my last video — including new angles from the now-famous kayak encounter and several new sightings filmed in unbelievably clear conditions. These are real encounters — no chum, no bait, no tricks. Just natural behavior captured from above. 🎥 About this channel: I’m Carlos Gauna — The Malibu Artist. I document marine life and shark behavior along the California coast and beyond, using aerial cinematography to bring you as close to the action as possible. 🌊 Follow for more: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/themalibuartist Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/themalibuartist -------------- 🦈 Watch next: “Swimmer Approaches Great White Shark — Calm or Terrifying?” → https://youtu.be/RhFUvVZLnUQ?si=0-nKqc8veW9_Ocbv -------------- MERCH store is now LIVE.
