Amazing Time lapse of cell division No CGI

Time lapse of cell division in the amphibian egg of a Poison Dart Frog, Epipedobates anthonyi. Approximate real time duration over one week. Time lapse sequence goes from 1st cleavage to the formation of blastula, gastrula to the neural crest. Watch those cells infolding in Full HD. No CGI, just a lot of good optical techniques and perseverance.
Individual sequences will be available for licensing

3:29 the moments where it folds in on itself... interesting

Love how you added "No CGI" for the people thinking it was CGI in your last videos. Heh

[@francischeefilms]

LOL, yeah! Thanks for watching

Fantastic work Francis.

Hi Craig Thanks!

[@stevenabbott9451]

Wonderful! Thanks

Thanks!

I would love to see a gigantic database of all the cell positions within the sphere all the way until bones start to develop. It would be amazing to have a google maps of the human body all the way down to the cell structures to allow people to look and watch as it animates from day 0 to whenever zooming in or out on a location.

[@francischeefilms]

That would be something for sure.

Awsome!

really amazing

Thanks!

[@chrisdolezal3133]

That's amazing. What is the white structure that is developing?

[@francischeefilms]

Hi, sorry for the late reply! If you mean the white disc? This is the yolk plug being "engulfed"

[@MV-vv7sg]

Imagine taking this knowledge / footage back to the OG Natural Scientists of Ancient Greece or even Evolutionary Biologists like Darwin.

[@francischeefilms]

Yes, that's definitely a thought there!

[@rjw7058]

any comment on this vid can help to unlock the secret of how to create natural or artificial life, what entity was able to do this?

[@isabellam1936]

But what divided? I'm confused. I just saw one object morph, not one divide into two. Can someone explain please?

[@kylerhodes7540]

Hey! yeah, So what is happening here is Mitosis or "Cell Division". So once the egg is fertilized the single egg cell will begin to divide into two cells then they will divide into four so this hapeens over the course of weeks and those cells that keep dividing are specialized into key structures in the body. Hope thag helps. Its really fascinating and this is a great timelapes of it.

How the one became the many, but the many are all the one

Dope !💊subbed

Much appreciated!

[@jokergothamcity9036]

Is that a fertilized egg?...

[@francischeefilms]

yes, amphibian

[@jokergothamcity9036]

@@francischeefilms its amzing... But can u add that in ur video title... People will get confused 😇😇

Wow cool CGI dude!
