Hello members of formiculture.com. Here in the near future I will be looking to purchase cheap macro ant footage of no specific ant species on top of what I gather, just assuming it's quality. It must be unused by yourself, and not be shared on any social media or you tube. I am looking to start a You Tube channel on ant keeping.  I will start it off with some basic videos until I'm a ways in. I just want to have some footage on hand. I'm not doing this for money, just want to make some nice videos since I am spending so much time in this hobby. I'll link the channel soon...

Hey TC your buddy Nurbs will make some for you with his nifty Iphone and Amazon clipon macro lens. $650 for the first 5 minutes, $350 each additional minute. Standard freelance fee. Lot of species to choose from.

 

:D

Such a generous guy. Unfortunately that's exactly what I'm not going for. :P

I could just send you some stuff for free once spring rolls around (and I have some unused recordings of ants already) but I haven't used my new phone for recording much yet so it's quality may vary (AKA it might be horrible/unusable). A lot of what I record is pretty low quality (shaky hands and usually poor lighting) so it won't bother me one bit if you don't use it. How would I send you the recordings though?

Appreciate it, like I said the first videos won't be amazing, but I need something to build on. I assume you have them on your computer files (?), so you could just email them to me.

OMG! MY FIRST VIDEO!

 

OMG! CRAZY WISCONSIN ANTS?!?!

 

OMG! AMAZING MACRO VIDEO!

 

In all seriousness, I'm saving up my pennies for a camera w/ macro lens. I don't think I'll have it by summer though.. I could send you some footage some time after then though.

I could probably get you some decent footage of:

  • Tetramorium immigrans
  • Formica cf. subsericea
  • Aphaenogaster cf. rudis
  • Camponotus nearcticus

Let me know if you would like/need any!

If you got it, I'll take it. Can't pay unless it good macro footage though.

T.C.,

 

You can use any of the images on my website, all taken by me. For now, just attribute authorship and you knock yourself out— we can figure out pricing stuff in the future (if at all).

Thanks, appreciate it. Might end up using an image or two. Who knows. And all credit will be given where credit is due to everyone.
