    A dream! One day, I also want to dive with whales.
  •  
  • I have one of Howard's DVDs ...the one with the baby Right whale at the end, "sniffing" one of your crew. Every time I watch it the hair on the back of my neck stands on end. I want that experience, just once!

    ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY ASTOUNDING!

    When people ask me why I dive, this is what I show them.
    [Along with a good cave and wreck diving clip or two]

    I am only beginning to get into the world of underwater videography, and can only hope to be near this level of work someday.

    Thanks!

  • hey man, loved the footage, absolutely amazing stuff. Can I ask: How and where did you get your training as an underwater cameraman? I am a diver myself and am studying film production at Uni and would love to combine the two. I'd appreciate any advice.
  • Howard Hall plus 9 months ago
    Oliver:
    I had no formal training. I looked at images, movies, styles that I liked and asked questions about how it was done. You might look at an essay I wrote called "Breaking-in." It's on my website. Thanks for kind words
    Howard
  • Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it. The essay was helpful. My only concern is money for buying the gear.
    I'm going to apply to a company called 'Scubazoo' (scubazoo.com/about/job-opportunities/) for a one year internship. Only problem is I am still only an AOW diver with 50 dives. They're looking for a Divemaster with 200+ dives. I hope that the fact that I am studying Film at Uni will help me.
    Any advice?

    Howard,

    Inspiring stuff indeed. I've recently returned from a year in The Maldives (North Male Atoll) working as a videographer, but on DVCAM with a Ikelite housing so nowhere near this quality.

    I've just finished a Masters in Cinematography and am considering going down the RED path. Can I ask what housing you use and any external lighting configuration?

    Also, are you at 2 or 4k?

    Thanks very much

    I'm using the Deep Red housing by Gates Underwater. It's a terrific housing, but then they made it to my specifications. I use LED lights for small stuff and often use tungsten sufarce supplied light for big shots. But LED technology will soon eliminate the need for surface powered light. I use Light and Motion LED lights now. Gates also has a new light coming out that looks pretty good.
