Good one Joey! Friends recently went to the island of Socotra off the coast of Yemen in the Arabian Sea. Half the plants are endemic to the island. Dracaena cinnabari (dragon blood tree) of the Asperagacea family looks like a Dr. Suess illustration. I'd kick in some dough to get you there.

It’s one of my favorite videos yet. It also shows off one of the many unique aspects of your educational art form: your constant emphasis of the *whole picture* of the ecosystem, from climate and geology down to the scale of linear striations and DA GLANS. And hearing you piss while you filmed that ash flow really enhanced the video’s quality of vicarious experience🙄. You are such a Boy.

2022-08-25 01:22:52 +0000 UTCif the last shot of the day is sunset you should send up the drone one last time and pan around the horizon. I don't even care if it's not golden hour or even particularly colorful, it'll probably still look amazing in the desert. just don't forget to record some habitat audio to play over it. also I was thinking you should do a little skit to open the video where you and your buddies voice the roles in a sitcom, except the characters are all plants of wherever you are for the day. edit in some laugh track afterwards. of course I say that not knowing how much work filming it would be.
