Komodo
I took a trip to Komodo in Indonesia last July and have just now finished the video. I used a brand new camera setup, the Panasonic GH5, and learned a lot I wish I knew before the trip! The highlight of the trip was witnessing a school of 200 - 300 cow nosed rays. Anyway, Indonesia is a very special place on this earth. If it's not on your dive list, it should be!

Re: Komodo
Nicely done. I like that you kept the regulator noise in there in the background instead of just cutting it out completely.
Re: Komodo
Fantastic! Did you take a drone for the aerial shots?

Re: Komodo
Haha, yeah, I added that in. Actually, I looked for a section of clips that had fairly normal breathing sounds. It turns out I make a lot of weird noises underwater! And, I also cuss a lot when I can't get things in focus or some other camera problem frustrates me. So, yeah, that's the fully edited and censored underwater breathing track.jmartel wrote:Nicely done.

Re: Komodo
Yep, I dragged a DJI Phantom 4 around the world to get those shots. Worthwhile but a pain when carrying all the other scuba and camera equipment!fmerkel wrote:Fantastic! Did you take a drone for the aerial shots?

Re: Komodo
Stephen, you've really outdone yourself this time!! Such an well done film from the drone footage and music to the stunning underwater stuff. Will be sharing with family and friends. Well done dude.
