"Entertainment" video

This was meant to be an educational video, but once I threw some dynamic music behind it (which I kind of have cold feet about), it became way more entertaining (at least to me). Photos of moths, with music more suited to a thriller. It plays much better on my hard drive than on YouTube, at least, to me.



You can also see this on YouTube here.

That was a great video! I loved the music you added to it. It really gave it a different feeling. I just have to ask you one thing...was that your moth collection? LOL

The photos are amazing! My fave is at 0:30 (moth & its shadow). Between the moths and the creepy music, this could have been part of the intro for the movie "Angels & Insects"

Thanks! I was skimming the instrumental section of my iTunes library and this tune just jumped out at me. It turned out to work well with the segues between the photos, too.

LJ - all moths were alive and unrestrained for their photo ops. :)

GC - Thanks! This just a small sample of my moth photos. The one you like is the Luna Moth. I've heard of Angels and Insects but haven't seen it yet.

This video creeped me out - I can tolerate most bugs, but I can't deal with moths! Even though I was creeped out by it, good job on the video!

JF - Thanks, I appreciate your tolerance (and certainly didn't intend to creep anybody out!). Moths are really pretty harmless (apart from some of their caterpillars, which can be serious agricultural pests). If they're not flying away from you or beating themselves senseless around a porch light, they mostly just sit there (which is one reason I like to photograph them).

Really cool music. Great intensity and movement. Really made the video!
