Hi there, I wanted to share the latest short clip I made from a trip last year to Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. Do turn up the volume for full effect Gear used was a Sony A7s with the Sony 28mm FE combined with Nauticam's WWL-01 wet lens (which gives a 140 degree FOV with little distortion and extreme close focusing) Video was recorded onto an Atomos Shogun in 4k UHD 29.97 in ProRes HQ. All the equipment including the Shogun are housed in Nauticam dive housings. No video lighting was used, only ambient light. Aerials were shot with a Dji Phantom 3 Pro The video has been cropped to simulate a 2.39:1 Anamorphic modern cinema format and rendered in 1080p Sharks are simply not the ferocious man-eaters that movies and the media make them out to be. They are majestic, graceful, beautiful creatures with character. I hope this video will help educate both divers and non divers alike.

Rough test comparing a Vizelex ND with a B+W filter https://youtu.be/vSMdae6EDa8 I forgot to mention that the sharpness of the Vizelex ND was really soft in comparison I'll have to do some more tests but so far I am totally not happy with this adapter

We shot this commercial for the "Stuttgarter Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften" completely on an A7s with an Atomos Shogun recorder. Various Canon-mount Lenses were used over a Metabones-Adapter. Our source material was 4K, 24p, but we did the editing offline (1080p) on an Avid media composer. We shot a little over 500 GB. For onlining and grading we went on to a baselight system. After the color correction, we put out the final dcp in 2K flat. The shooting took place in Munich in early April during two exiting days. In the first scene our location was the infamous "Schwabinger Sieben". To keep the original mood of that "cave", we used nearly no lights but candles. The A7s did a fantastic job at ISO 12800. The Youtube-file doesn´t quite represent the information that is in there (in the shadows), but the dcp for cinema sure does. The Senior Colorist at Das Werk in Munich was really impressed with the low-light capabilities of the A7s. Filming with a small and light camera like this added also great flexibility and speed to the production. We actually used a very simple slider for the dolly shots. Hope you enjoy our little thriller, which stresses a problem for German tenants: The fact that the landlord can arbitrarily claim his property for personal needs - even if you just made your home sweeter
