really curious how the creator of this was able to get such good depth of field with what seems like a macro setup.

#12I was struck by how close a Bugs Life and Ants movie flying scenes was to this video.

#13Slightly off-topic, but I really love the video[1] embedded in the article. Just a slow motion video, no nonsense. Most slow motion videos on youtube has a section on the setup, the backyard of the producer, the equipment etc. Just give me a slow motion video without all the interruptions.

You somehow need to get the video to those sweet ten minutes.

#14I don't know what it is, but I get a weird, visceral, wincing reaction seeing bugs up close like this. Bugs are a real weakness for me.
I don't get put off by blood at all. I can handle (and in fact enjoy) gore in movies, horror movies, etc. But man, I don't know what it is with insects. Their tiny spindly legs, weird beady eyes, the wings, their hair, their antennae. Can't stand looking at it.
Fascinating creatures, but boy do they mess with my mind like nothing else.

Oh man, you'd have a field day with [0]. It's packed with fascinating macro photos of insects.

#16The whole Ant Lab channel is really fascinating, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbOzYMKROs8
Re: Moths in slow motion [video]
#17This made me feel so much better about moths. With the video so close up they looked super cute and snuggly. Something I have never associated with a moth before.
Secondly, I found it pretty cool to see how their flight wasn't as controlled as I had thought of. It looked like a bit of a mess on take off. Again, just disarmed me from the moths I've grown to despise flying around the house.
Very cool to see them from a different perspective.

Interesting. I found the editing back and forth really unpleasant.
Ha! I didn't realize anyone was talking was watching this on mute. With my own background music.

That's because this video is the sixth in the series. The first video goes into all those details.
The setup is meaningful to people who want to know how it was filmed. If you don't care for it you can always skip it. Why ask for the video to have less content that other people might want to watch just because you don't?
