The Snake

The Snake video on this page was filmed on a road close to Santa Cruz, Portugal.

I shot the video on the side of the road, because I took a photo first, thinking it was dead. I then saw it move and turned on the video of my Nikon D90. What happened was amazing: when I saw the nake first, (it's a non poisonous Ladder snake), it was already hit by probably more than one car. During the video, you can count 36 cars running over him and 3 of them actually ran their tires over it, as you can clearly hear from the sound. After 30 cars it was still moving! The last part of the movie I'm pretty sure it was finally dead.

Filmed entirely with the Nikon D90 DSLR.

Buying the video for broadcasting

If you want to use the video's raw material for broadcast purpose: the video is of excellent quality, shot with a Nikon D90 and 16-85 lens in 1280 X 720 HD :

Warning: this video might be shocking to some people. If you hate snakes, you'll love this video, if you love snakes, you'll hate this video..
