Thanks again to Sunstar for the tip. Here is the video, 'promo' I guess is the best way to describe it, for his upcoming book "Antarctica: The Global Warning", from the website AntarcticaBook.com. I've grabbed and converted it, below.
WOW. It looks amazing. It was great to listen to Sebastian speak on what he did down there and what he hopes to accomplish through this work of his. It certainly brings a lot of understanding to just why he is such an influence on his cousin, doesn't it? He's very articulate, deeply thoughtful, and his reasoning is easy to grasp. The photographs look absolutely breathtaking.
ETA: The source code from the site reveals the url for the background image, which is an amazing title treatment and piece of graphic design for the book.

Jan, it's great to have the clip here to help promote awareness and the book itself.
Sunstar, thanks again for bringing the clip over.
Thanks for the image, Geri. I was hoping to see it without the other text on it.
I just remembered that the book includes a DVD! If you haven't pre-ordered it from Amazon yet, don't forget to go through ka-Bloom's shop link when you do.

I agree, the photographs are stunning and the photographer is very eloquent. I am quite tempted to buy the book, but it is a bit steep. When it hits my local bookstore, I will take a look and see if I can resist. While by no means a purist, I like to support the independent book stores in my neighborhood when I can.
On a purely immature and shallow note, I see a family resemblance between Mr. Copeland and his cousin Mr. Bloom, something about the cheekbones and the bone structure in general.
Back to your regularly scheduled admiration.

A very moving piece of film. The music alone gave me goosebumps. Absolutely stunning.
It is easy to see where Orlando gets his passion for the environment. In his photography, Sebastian has captured the majestic beauty of the Antartic while managing to convey the fact that this beautiful place is quickly disappearing.
Thank you Sunstar and Jan.
Celebrating 101 pages of the wonderful talents of Molokai. May there be many more.
A great clip and a very articulate guy, I enjoyed listening to the interview. I am really glad that I have pre-ordered this book. It is going to be absolutely breathtaking.

Thank you so much for downloading this clip for us Jan and Sunstar for finding the link, I tried to go into the link but it wouldn't work on my computer so I am glad to see the clip on here. I already told my family that I would love to get this book for my birthday. Those photos were beautiful and breathtaking and what a wonderful job Sebastian has done spreading awareness of this wonderous place and how we need to do all that we can to save it. I do can see where Orlando gets his love for the Environment.
