Surf Film Shot on RED Epic (includes underwater)

[Octave Zangs]

One Summer Swell is our first short piece. It's a surf and bodysurf short film narrated by surf legend Ron Romanosky and featuring waterman Pat Towersey during the unique summer swell of 2014 in Newport Beach, CA.

It has entirely been shot with the RED Epic. I worked on every aspects from the shooting, the editing to the color grading and I even produced an original soundtrack. The main lens used was the Century 150-600mm PL and I used the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 for the underwater shots.

Enjoy!

Definitely captures the emotion I feel when surfing (no expert though). Nice, subtle nostalgic color treatment.

Great stuff, Octave! Do you mind sharing what underwater housing rig you used? I see you used the 16-35. Was it a Deep Epic case?

Thanks! Hang ten.

Thanks for the info, Octave. I have an underwater shoot approaching and am taking the 16-36 along with the kit. Gives me great confidence in its performance.
