In this video I explore various cinematic shot types for underwater videos and explain how they can potentially be used for great effect. What's your go-to shots?

as can be clearly seen in this video by or co-member Davide DB. Color is not there but the cinematography, editing and music score are conveying the message so well that a color version might not have worked so well. Davide this one should be shown in courses. Respect my friend.

Hello, I'm interested in starting more underwater video work. Any advice is appreciated!

New to the boards AND to diving. As a professional freelance cinematographer and burgeoning diving enthusiast, I am asking the obvious question: should I expand my freelance services into underwater video? Anyone have any professional experience, advice, or info on this? I am wondering how crowded the field is for a freelancer, and how many jobs may actually be available? And, what sort of jobs they usually are (rec diving VS tech diving, etc.) It sounds like the GoPro has largely hurt this industry, but I am wondering if there is still much (or any) work left in it? I would not be relying on it as a career, rather an expansion of my own already existing services. Even $15k a year worth of gigs could be enough to justify involvement... but I am wondering if even that is feasible? This isn't an immediate thing for me - I know I am going to need a great deal more dive experience first until I would look into this. But when that time comes, I am wondering the process to get plugged into the industry and what I might expect, any steps I can take in the meantime to prepare (if it is even worthwhile)? Thank you!
