A short movie about rotifers in Amsterdam

#1 Post by MasLovesMicrobes » Sun Mar 26, 2023 12:53 am

Hello, I was so mesmerised by the structures and behaviours of rotifers in the Amsterdam canals that I made a short movie about them.
I hope it brings across some of the wonder that these creatures deserve.
Enjoy! (Please use 1440p or higher, the rotifers are more beautiful that way.)



Music: Vessels, Philip Glass, 1983
Also check out Anima Mundi (1992) and Koyaanisqatsi (1982) for more wonder.

Kindly, Mas
