The giant squid in the video is only a few seconds, but you can see it peacefully floating and then attacking the submarine.

Eileen O’Neill, group President of Discovery and TLC Networks, said

“This latest production, four years in the making, is a world-first achievement for television, and I’m excited to share it.”
