I want to thank everyone who took the time to comment on Maldives in RED. I apologize for not responding sooner, but I don’t normally respond on forums. In fact this is the first time I have done so. Forgive me for not making a habit of it.
I very much appreciate the many positive comments I received on the film. I have also received some criticisms. Certainly I enjoy these less than praise. But critiques are totally appropriate in this kind of venue. Those who have made critical comments have done so in good taste and without malice. I suffer far worse when some major film critics publish reviews of my IMAX features.
Some have said that “Maldives in RED” does not represent my best work. I should certainly hope not. Those of you who have seen one of my television films or an IMAX feature have seen the combined efforts of dozens of talented people. I usually spend six months to a year in research and planning followed by over 100 days of filming with a crew of up to twelve. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are then spent in postproduction. If my IMAX and television films have been successful it is not because I did something magical with a camera underwater. The success of these films has been a result of the combined talents of the people on my team. By comparison, “Maldives in RED” had a budget of zero. So there certainly is a difference. And yes, I feel incredibly lucky to have had access to the large budgets used to make my major underwater film productions.
In the last few years a great deal has changed in the art of making underwater films. Frankly, I am totally overwhelmed by the quality and innovation of underwater videography I see published on sites like Wetpixel today. When stripped of a multi-million dollar budget and the support of a talented crew I feel lucky if my camerawork is considered average.
Someone asked what lenses I used for “Maldives in RED.” I used Nikon mount lenses including the Tokina 10-17mm, the Nikon 10-24mm, and the Nikon 16-85mm. My camera was housed in a Gates “Deep RED” housing. It’s simply the best underwater housing I have ever owned. I used a single Light and Motion Sunray LED light. Normally I use two, but one was damaged in shipping. The video was capture in Redcode 4KHD, imported into Final Cut Studio, color corrected in Apple Color, then output in 2K ProRes 4444. This was then compressed in Quicktime.
I made “Maldives in RED” because I love diving, love shooting, and making underwater films is still fun. So thanks for watching and thanks for your comments, good and bad.
I really appreciate it that you give us all that informations, I think vimeo is a really interesting place right now, because some of the best film-people are sharing their work and knowledge with the community.

I am still waiting for the 5K Scarlet and some fully electronic zoom lenses as my middle aged eyes suck at focus pulling.
