Hello everyone,

Here’s a short clip I shot recently on Okinawa Main Island, a cute little jawfish hard at work on his burrow (🎧 sound on please 👷)

Shot on the good ol'Panasonic LX10 compact in 4K 30 fps (with some upgraded 1080p 60 fps footage used for slow motion during the rock-spitting sequences)
Lighting was two Kraken Hydra 8000-lumen lights and one Backscatter MW4300, as well as a remotely mounted Kraken Hydra 1500.
I used a Nauticam CMC-1 for most shots (so yes, I was very close), and an AOI / Fantasea UCL-05 +6 on others.

Cheers, and keep on diggin’

Ben

Thanks Craig - Yes, I think it works well - [boomer mode ] just too bad 80% of content is watched without sound these days 😅 [/boomer mode]
