Idea: A short documentary film, which explores the biodiversity of a self-constructed pond. The documentary highlights various species of plants and insects, microorganisms in their habitat.
Tech solution: To bring this concept to life, a combination of cinematography techniques and microscopy techniques to capture high-resolution footage of microalgae in their natural habitats will be used. As editing software will be used adobe aftereffects or sony vegas. + biolab, microscope, camera

Lepadella rotifers, along with other microorganisms, participate in breaking down fish feces and leftover food, thereby contributing to water purification. Interesting about these microscopic animals: some rotifers are capable of entering into extended cryptobiosis and can remain in this state for thousands of years.
They play a very important role locally in protecting soils against wind and water erosion and dehydration.
