Cnidarian Lifeforms (more coral time lapse)

This is some of my earlier work (from about 6 months ago), created with a canon XSI camera + 100mm macro lens and a static mount. Shows off some of the more interesting types of corals and behavior.

I originally edited this to be sync'd to the close encounters of the third kind soundtrack, and I was too lazy to go back and re-edit it to something else...so it just kind of has another soundtrack slapped on.

Thanks for letting us see these incredible videos.Once you have the right equipment,is it very difficult to do this?

It takes a lot of patience and willingness to try new things, but I wouldn't call it difficult. All the problems that I encountered were overcome by easy/logical solutions that are self-evident after you try doing a few coral time lapses. In my opinion, this is one of those things that just requires some dedication to get nailed, not technical expertise.

My Canon XSI was my first real camera. I finished this film about 3 months after buying it.

Amazing work! It must have taken forever to cut and edit. It reminds me of the french film Microcosmos by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou. Somehow the small when made large always becomes so much more intriguing and time lapse makes them seem otherworldly. Thank you for sharing and keep up the wonderful work.
