I made my first YouTube video!! It was an interesting learning experience.
I took a few video clips of four different types of jellyfish this summer while at the Genova Aquarium (in Italy). The first two types of jellyfish are very similar, the third type are the same as the what you see in the preview thumbnail, and the last type of jellyfish are the same as the photo I used for my "blue" PhotoHunt post. If you don't have time to watch the entire video, slide the slider across to take a quick peek of the last two types of jellyfish. They are both pretty cool!
I had a difficult time choosing a song for this video. I ended up using one of my favorite Israel Kamakawiwo'ole songs, Kaleohano. The words don't really go with the video, but the song is beautiful just the same. Enjoy!!
GO BLUE!!!

You did a great job on the video. The beat of the song goes perfect with the movement. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Kathy, I might need to watch this video a few times while pacing back and forth tomorrow afternoon to calm myself down :)
Annie, I am amazed at just how beautiful they are.

girasoli, that is gorgeous!! I love the way they float around, and the colours - so intense and lovely! Congrats on a fantastic first Youtube video! (I have yet to master that technique...someday.)
