This was a fun and busy project for GOOD Stills that I filmed the underwater sequences for back in 2024.

The underwater sequences were filmed on the ARRI Mini LF, with Signature Primes and kept very dry in Gates Underwater Products LF Housing with surface FIZ control and video feed.

is where Legendary Lives!

Special thanks to the incredible team who made it happen! Especially the original legends .yo .karim.journal

I just found this one in the archives. We shot this film all the way back in 2021 for Dibba Bay Oysters.

The film was produced by GOOD Stills, DOP .allen. I did the the underwater filming, and we/Base Films provided the drone filming.

Underwater was filmed with the RED Digital Cinema Gemini 5K with Gates Underwater Products Pro Explore housing and Nikonos RS 13mm Fisheye Lens

More sneak peaks at the new Gates design coming out soon!

Look closely at the GCC, and you'll notice it's part of a larger module section. Remove and replace if needed.

Swimming in the vastness of blue 🐟 🫧

The shot is beautifully framed, with vivid colors of the male Pseudanthias squamipinnis popping out against the gentle blues of the background.

The stream of bubbles in the background adds that extra contrast and detail that really brings the photograph together.

This capture by Michael Rall Deep Imagery the beautiful and gentle lighting of the Retra Flash.

Discover your new underwater lighting companion and light up your photographs with smooth naturalistic light that flatters the photographer.

Beautiful Hawksbill turtle I’ve seen a few times recently.

She has a barnacle growing on her forehead. If you look closely, you can see the barnacle feeding.
