Epalxella dinner party
A new microbiology movie is up, and with it a lot of firsts: the first I did with the new iMovie, the first I'm putting up on YouTube (a direct result of the "publish to YouTube" option in iMovie), and the first which I've done since receiving D.J. Patterson's excellent Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa: A Colour Guide.
In case I sound like I'm building it up, though, I'm not: my narration in this movie is terrible, and my explanations are so brief that it will probably be incomprehensible to anyone not already intimately acquainted with the subject matter. Still, practice makes perfect, and through the magic of Web 2.0 I can publish my practice movies just as easily as not.
If one prefers to watch the movie just to observe the epalxella, I recommend turning down the sound and listening to appropriate music instead (viz. Nefertiti from the new Herbie Hancock album).
