    Love the change, giving a story to the microcosmos, the artistic flare and drama in the tone of delivery. Love the way the music shifted with the mood as the parasite went from small and swimming to menacing. Had a bit of trouble with my sensory processing disorder though, as the ticking tapping quality of the background music made it hard to filter and understand what was being said, mostly in the beginning of the video. Love the vibe of the music though! Nice variety from the normal chill tracks. May have just been an audio mixing thing? Keep exploring the creative side! It's delightful.

      That's what happens when you have one person who does the microscopy, one editor, one writer, and one narrator who only works on narration. Everyone has one job that they're best at, and it comes together in a great video. This project must cost a lot of money, I'm not sure how they do it with the amount of views they get.

    This randomly made me think of something for speculative evolution; what if Suctorians and Nassulids went into a sort of symbiotic relationship, like how Eukaryotes did with Mitochondria? It's a ridiculous idea, but with multiple Nassulids fusing together, it could potentially lead up to a different form of tissue development?
