Tardigrades - Chapter on Other Microscopic Organisms (2008)

Add To Playlist

Beginning of the chapter on 'other organisms in my undergraduate thesis project, entitled 'Tardigrades'. This is only a short selection from the film, and an even smaller selection from the masses of stock footage and b-roll shot. I believe, the organisms in this section are as follows: Class: Gastropoda (snail) 00:00 Family: Planariidae (planaria) 00:39 - 01:08 Class: Turberllia (planaria) 01:08 - 01:23 Family: Planariidae (planaria) 01:23 - 01:28 Family: Gammaridae (gammarus) 01:28 - 02:01 Genus: Stylonychia (ciliate) 02:08 - 02:28 Tardigrades are also nicknamed water bears or moss piglets. They are microscopic animals most commonly found in mosses or along ocean shores. They have a similar appearance to bears and have eight legs. Some are armored, some are not. The full thesis film is a 20 minute natural history documentary on tardigrades, rotifers, nematodes, and other micro and meioscopic organisms. The production process went on for 11 months of 2008. Over 190 samples were taken from mosses, soils, leaf litter, water bodies, and the like. Six of the samples contained tardigrades. In addition to the film, a 100 page thesis paper was completed on the topics of wildlife film theory, semiotics in biological descriptions, natural history background of the animals found, and observational data. Directed, written, edited, and animation by Julie Mink. Music and voice over by Alexa Casciato. withjulie.com
