[txlee1]

Very smooth

[charlenerice]

ssssssssssssssssssssssssso cool

[CircaRigeI]

Lol! Very cute! I grew up with pet snakes. Brings back fond memories. So many people are under the mistaken impression that all snakes are vicious and poisonous. Most are in fact very gentle (to people, that is, not their prey!).

[PhilosopherFresh]

awesome sssnake!! :)

[neoshamanism]

i would kisssss him :)

thanks for the fun!

[theheyoka]

[CircaRigeI]

Reminds me more of the snake from "The Elephant's Child" in the Jungle Book.

[Voluptuossa1234]

[neoshamanism]

[leftysergeant]

Beautiful snake. Catching the movements so clearly was great nature study. I liked the trailer with the snake wrapped around the wrnagler's hat. Swami looks pretty healthy. I used to work in a pet shop and just loved dealing with the reptiles. My wife, no the other hand, just about freaked when she brought my lunch to work and saw me with a king snake crawling across my glasses and down the back of my neck. I had to warn her not to scare the snake.

[taragolden]

ha ha lefty sergeant, good advice "dont scare the snake".

[SherifG1]

[hanaleiguy]

[taragolden]

[KarnakKnows]

I thought it was a water moccasin! Love is a hurtin' thang!

[taragolden]

its a gopher snake, also called a bull snake, cuz it pretends to have a rattle sometimes. love.. well, i didnt get the idea swami is too into love, or even that hes particularly picky.. are you gonna let him kiss you, kauai guy?

[jofrelly]

SSSSSSSSSSSSmiling : )

[WhattaLine]

Ssssssssssssssssweet!! I'm not too much for snakes but Swami is cool! Great video! :)

[taragolden]

whataline, i agree, swami has helped transform my terror of snakes.. he IS quite a friendly and amiable guy, isnt he?

[MissMarah]

that's awesome tara! how big and what kind of snake was that? dylans v.o. was perfect... and i wasn't expecting the cameo at the end:-)

[taragolden]

thanks marah.. it was a bull snake, also called a gopher snake and was about 5 feet long. it was quite challenging subject matter.. the snake is almost constantly in motion and you have to predict where it is going to go.. luckily i had my trusty snake handler chad.. and yeah i agree dylan was amazing.. i really enjoy working with him.brett contributed a lot yesterday during editing.. it was a real group effort.

[taragolden]

oh, and the music was done by matthew warren, a musician from florida who created the track just for me.

[marcellaboccia]

[theatrecameo]

Hi Tara i loved it great photgraphy Val

[tutorilas]

glad my encoding techniques helped u out! please pass it along to your friends...

[RIPFILMS]

ok so whos method actually helped you get the higher quality?

[taragolden]

it was your video we used, even though we use final cut pro and your is for Premiere, your settings helped my editor brett figure out how to do it.. we made it a mpeg file.. it took about an hour to upload.. but im super pleased,, thanks for making that vid.. if you want to post it as a response ill accept it and send people your way.

[Pipesofpan]

PS. allow embed for a couple days? I want to post it for my friends to see. :)

[taragolden]

ok, changed the embedding matthew.. you can also make it the featured vid on your channel..you go into my account and put the address in on featured video.. and yeah, it does look great, doesnt it?

[Pipesofpan]

Haha Loved it! Wow that video looks great. Very fun! :)
