Chad,

I've seen the video a few times now I was just wondering if you have updated pics of the tank. Looks like stuff is growing

Oh, I see . You are right... I will need to take some more tank shots. The sps in particular has grown quite well. I think that my frogspawn might have actually decreased a little in size because the sexy shimp used it as their "cool kids' hangout" - and it wan't able to open up fully. Now that they have been moved, it is getting back to normal. Some people have warned me that a mantis might start redecorating its home and level some corals. So far, no problems though...
Thanks,

- Chad

Awesome! Just so everyone knows, I made the video before I got the Mantis so don't expect it to be very exciting. On the plus side though, it is work friendly

Maybe you can make another video I loved the last one



EDIT: I know this song might be too long for a video, but it comes to mind when thinking of your new mantis...

Bev,
Thanks for the tip... as I was listening I could see the mantis dancing along with a shaky little jig .

And I can lower the volume and cut the soundtrack at any spot to make the song length match the video length. Infact, in my current video, what sounds like the end of the song is really just a pause before breaking into another chorus.

Chad,

I can't listen to that song without dancing my butt off

Honestly, though, I'd love to see another video. In it, I'd like to see lots of macro stills of your manits as well as of your individual corals. You could also use a tripod and get some footage of the mantis moving around/feeding as well as of your corals moving with the water flow. That would be fabulous

Too bad I'm so far away. I could be the video's director

Beverly,

I don't know if I'm inspired by your video, or compelled to pull up my socks , but I am starting another one with some footage of the mantis shrimp. If I run into any problems, I will definitely call you for some advise .

Chad,

What a wonderful compliment

I'm very interested in your mantis (spelled it correctly!) video. I can't wait to see it Have you picked out a song for it?

I doubt I have more experience than you running Pinnacle Studio, but PM me for my phone number if you run into trouble

Am currently working on another reef video project as I type. Converting some secret .mov files to .avi. Would love to tell you about it, but I don't quite know how I'm going to pull it off. The song I have for it is over three minutes and I'm not sure I can create an interesting video with my subject for that long. My song is "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers. Okay, you got it out of me.... the subject is snails

Good luck with you mantis video I'm gonna want to see it for sure

BTW, was on RC today and ran across someone referring to the song in a video about a 2g. You're famous, man

Beverly,

Thanks! I am working on my video as I speak . I am going to try and use a song called "The Stand" by an Albertan band called "The Jack Union". I was at a 10year high school reunion over the weekend and ran into an old classmate who is one of the co-writers of the song. It is pretty hard to make it fit into the theme of the movie but, oh well. I have footage of the mantis breaking open the shell of a small hermit crab and eating it but I am still trying to decide if I will include it in the movie. It is actually really sad... especially since the hermit makes a desperate attempt to abandon its shell and run... poor little guy . I don't want to get any one too depressed.
Hopefully the video will be ready in a day or so.

- Chad

ps - I think that you picked the perfect song for a snail video
