Underwater Scarlet / Gates Deep Epic Footage

[Jon Shaw]

Have been doing some TVC pool stuff with my Deep Epic but this was the first real open ocean test footage. Quick and dirty cut, conditions weren't great vis on the wreck was 5-7m, Fish Rock was better at 15m vis depth was reasonably deep at about 30m. I am going to sound like every other guy with a Red but the vimeo thing just doesn't do it justice. I watched it on a 2K projector and it looked flippin awesome..... and that is at half res.

Jon, I loved it - vimeo or not. Knowing the difference from vimeo to final footage, I can imagine what it looks like in reality!
Great job!

That is stunning, Jon. The Gates Housing is on top of my wishlist! Thanks for share!

 

[Kirk.Attard]

Very impressive. The first shark shot was totally awesome!

Shameless, gratuitous plug here but for $5800 you can be in the water shooting and getting the very same results. The Epic lends itself very well to much less expensive housings, without giving up anything particularly significant.

amazing

Extremely cool! Great exposure!

 

[Jon Shaw]

Thanks guys,

Mike LOL your funny, good on you.

I've been wondering how these housings handle the heat output from the camera's .....been an enclosed atmosphere & all .

Doesn't that limit run time or emersion time due to possible heat stress on the sensor ?

P.S. Congrats on the footage, love the opening shot......I now know who to talk to about underwater shooting for projects

 

[Justin Marx]

Great stuff!! Can only imagine it in full res!! Those shark teeth, ahhhhh!

Very relaxing video for some reason!

Let see the picture your buddy took!

 

[StevenMore]

Love all the silhouette's especially

Will do actually I have a load of stills, away this weekend but will post on Monday,

Thanks again for the kind words, I'm not too sold on the colour grade but the whole thing was done in a couple of hours, plus I have just changed from FCP to Premiere.... but it was a very straight forward process.

Initially it was a concern, but no, the Epic is extremely robust in this regard.

 

[Pawel Achtel]

Nice footage, Jon. I actually like the grade you've done.
It looks quite bright, what f-stop where you at?
Can't wait to do some diving together.

 

[Jon Shaw]

Thanks Pawel, it was shot at a mix of f7-11. The wreck shot was at about f5 due to bad vis and depth,

My Red One in my Deep Red runs much hotter than the Epic and I have never had any problems with heat. The ocean acts like a huge water cooler anyway.

love the movement of the camera, the details and the clarity. way to go, excellent work!
