Some of my video work

Nothing amazing. I'm still very new to this so taking things slow and nailing the basics down. Quality isn't the best because I originally made them for instagram reels.

Do you happen to have a YouTube link for them? Not loading for me and I’ve been wanting to do reef videos so it would be nice to see for inspiration

I have a Sony A7RII + Sony GM 16-35mm wide angle (for the zoa garden video) + Sony G 90mm Macro (for the hammer video).

I used Adobe Premiere to edit them on a MacBook Pro.

Thank you! The Zoas are stunning, I used to hate them. Now I’m just too scared to keep them, all I hear is horror this, death that. Palytoxin from looking at them wrong. I also heard some don’t have toxin and are mislabelled but I just can’t find the right info and want a zoa garden for myself.

Zoas and Palys are fine as long as you take the proper precautions when handling them I think.

I always wear nitrile gloves, a respirator (kind of excessive but whatever), and safety glasses that seal. Just don't do anything that would make you ingest or get the water in your eye and you'll be fine. I haven't gotten sick (fingers crossed).
