Spent 10 days diving on the Arenui.

Dove Raja 18yrs ago. Nice to see it looks just as good.

Ron,

This is a great video! Watched a couple times. Not only great video, but nicely put together and a great soundtrack. I'd be interested in learning more about what you shot and your post processing including music selection.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words Evan.

I have a Sony A1 and Tamron 24-70 2.8 lens. I use both for topside photography portraits, headshots and weddings. UW housing is a Nauticam with dome port and lights are Big Blue. I used to shoot a lot of UW video in the past but got away from it for a while. I was using Adobe Premiere. But now, I did not feel like paying for Premiere so I am trying out the free version of Davinci Resolve.

Music is Hans Zimmer. Very well known and famous movie soundtrack composer.

Do you shoot photo or video ?

I’m just starting photography/videogrphy after several years of GoPro use. I’m familiar with Han Zimmer. The timing seemed synchronized, so I was wondering if it was an app/service that was a custom composition. Very nice.

I dabbled in UW photography. I was never happy with my wide angle photos. Too difficult to get good w/a composure with the animal life. UW macro photography was easier. UW macro video is tough w/o a tripod.

The timing/synchronizing is part of the editing process. Deciding the type of clip, clip length and when/where to place it in the timeline to tell the story and match the audio. The amount of effort I put into the editing is mostly determined by the quality, variety and quantity of clips I have. Some dive trips do not generate enough good footage to put together a thought out synchronized video. I have done plenty of videos with a pleasant song and just threw in the clips

I enjoy the editing process and find UW video more satisfying than UW photography.

What setup do you have ? Gopro is very good given it's size, but I was never satisfied with it's low light or white balance. Not sure how much the latest versions have improved.
