Tardigrades Documentary - first chapter (2008)

A bit of the first chapter to my undergraduate thesis project, entitled 'Tardigrades'.

**Watch the full documentary at http://www.vimeo.com/1317360 **

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.
