I just spotted some beautifull footage from this new undewater film on Euro tv news. They showed some interesting stabilizing camera crane too.

Beautiful work for sure...and expensive to produce. I notice in the translation voice over that their production budget was 50 million euros...a rather fat budget for a nature film! Its great to see the market realizing that wildlife and nature films can deserve good budgets - and can do quite well at the box office too (March of the Penguins, etc.)

I expect this film to be extraordinary...

Fascinating!!

Pretty expensive!!!

Also a lot of dollies and cranes on the beach, even one on the inflatable PVC "gummy" boat, diverse Arri film cameras with Angenieux Optimo zooms, remote controlled helicopters with a camera on, etc...

Spent some time on a ship with "Didier Noirot", one of the main underwater cameramen for "Oceans" while I was filming in Antarctica last year. Didier was Jacque Cousteau's cameraman for a long time. He was with a team filming for an upcoming BBC series called "Frozen Planet", a follow up to "Planet Earth" Wouldn't be surprised if the budget for that series is even more than 50 million euros.

Yes..intense stuff! I remember seeing a lot of that same bait ball footage in a program on Discovery Channel. It was shot off South Africa...
