OK folks, the latest DiveFilm Podcast Video episode is up and it's the interview I recently did with Eric Cheng. What I wanted to do was get some of his thoughts on making the transition from underwater still photography to video, what skills were transferable, what helped, what new skills he needed to acquire in the process. My thinking was that because it was so close in time to his first dives doing video, I could get more of a sense of his early impressions. And, of course, I was hoping he'd let me use some of his cool images and video to illustrate the interview, and this he very graciously agreed to do. (Thank you, Eric.)
Here in San Diego, a bunch of us meet monthly to share tips, questions, show footage and (hopefully) improve our work. (Kind of like here on WetPixel!) So I'm always interested in hearing how others approach issues in underwater video like white balance and (my big challenge) camera stabilization.
I learned some things from the interview with Eric, as I do from many other imagers. Hope you enjoy this podcast (and don't razz Eric *too* much for his interview!?)
