I always wondered how your videos we're so much better than any other ones I have ever seen. Great job of explaining it. You are a true master of The Craft. Thank you
A new directions! Still, I love your macros more than anything. I am a viewer, of age, who started with Jacques Cousteau in 1958 with the double hose and no bc if you can believe it. Keep up the great works.
The Cousteau specials were the beginning of my desire to go diving. I finally had the opportunity to go on my first underwater adventure on a resort dive in Belize . One thing became painfully obvious, I am terribly near sighted, where can someone get prescription lenses for a dive mask? You guys are great! Thanks for opening up the world of undersea adventures with your videos!
I've been diving (PADI Master Diver) for 40 years and started shooting with film way back then. 10 cameras later, I LOVED your presentation. I LEARNED SEVERAL NEW THINGS! Thank you so much. You obviously put a great deal of work into this video. I plan to share the link with friends. I did hit subscribe and like. I have a trip planned for Grand Cayman, Curacao, Aruba, and Bonaire. I'll be practicing several techniques you shared. I can't afford the expensive lights. But, I have learned that the 18650 batteries vary greatly in longevity. I just purchased some that will last three times longer than the brand I have been using. Thanks again for helping me "Take it to the next level."
Great explanation of what it takes and the gear you need. However, there is no substitute for experience and time in the water to achieving the cinematic videos you guys produce. Beautiful work!!
From your new intro, I see you've hauled out and repainted Sylfia's Hull and bottom. maybe painted the Wheel house as well .. Awesome info .. you make the best under water videos on UA-cam or anywhere in my opinion. You're living a diving dream, thank you for taking us along for the adventure!!
Holy cow what a great vid...Nate you just keep hitting it out of the park! So informative, better than any college professor at keeping attention and detail...
Great Job Nate & Crew. 👍👍🙏 I loved every minute of this video. I've been an amature photographer with little intrest in videography for 60 years and I learned things from this. 🙏🙏 In my early years I found formal learning, (IE: School) to be bothersome at its best. As I've aged I've come to realize that wisdom is the product of learning divided by practice multiplied by experience. Best wishes from the Northern Gulf of Mexico 🙋♂️
Really nice video and advice from someone who has the best underwater video out there. Thanks for sharing your in-depth information. You're a true artist and far beyond a technician. Keep the faith!
Yes, I've been watching you guys since you were diving in misc places inland around florida , and sleeping in a van, and I noticed that you taught Delos to improve their lighting and put them on the map. They had some lightning but not nearly what you guys were recommending, and made their underwater vids pop. great advice, GoPro and the best light you can afford.
Oh my goodness. Just to take a vid.. I took toy guys for granted. I suppose I just expected yalls underwater videos to always be awesome. I never,,never knew how much went into this stuff. Thanks so much.
Love it! Good stuff Nate. Another suggestion. If you don't have good lights stay shallow! The lighting is always better in the shallow. Just because you can . . . doesn't mean you have to go deep.
Amazing Video!!! This video was put together very well!!! Thanks for all the details!!! Dive gear set-up or diving techniques would also make an excellent video!!
great informative video, thanks for all the 1st class underwater videography tips. hopefully one day ill be able to learn this art in person with all you great videographers. THANKS!!!
Wow, thanks for the help. I’m still stuck in the knockoff GoPro camp, and need to add light. A Diver’s Life suggested this video to me. Big help. Thanks.
Great video guys, very interesting to see how you make great underwater videos...I see you filmed this episode in my old home town of Brisbane...cheers!
Many thanks for your MasterClass! One question that I have is about position of video lights for wide angle: you mentioned that video lights should be directed outward. However, in most of your clips, they are directed inward. Does it matter?
I think this video shows people so they can see what they've been appreciating in watching 👀 your videos 😃 I do think about it when I see such beautiful shots , they are so amazing that I love to re-watch a lot because I love the ocean footage so much ❤ When are you going to show us the new crew on a journey? I'm looking forward to that again.
Watched a keldon video re the ambient light filters. The sequence they seemed to be suggesting was 1. White balance 2. Attach red filter 3. Add ambient light filters Does this mean that everytime you white balance you need to remove the red filter Am I missing something? I have video lights 11,000 lumin each, plus an option to add another 6,000 = 27,000 in total
Really amazed at how complicated this can become very quickly, and pretty expensive as well. Even what you called inexpensive made me gasp! LOL I've accidentally blasted myself with a 1000 lumen headlamp and it is a little painful, do you ever wonder what the effect is when you shine those lights on your subjects? I know nothing about marine biology so I'd be curious if any studies have been done about that. Not necessarily painful, but any lasting effect on if it blinds them for some time? Or disrupts their rhythms at all?
@@dwade2026 quite familiar thank you. That’s for registering, and Delaware has changed their laws regarding. Wyoming and Oregon have tightened their rules for Rex vehicles too. Wouldn’t a non-profit have a cause? Granted the Clinton’s had one but that was for funneling money!! Now they are finally getting audited as per the news this past weekend. I’m not hating on them, I just wouldn’t take advantage of a tax break as cover for a “cause”. More honor in the “cause” rather than the tax break. That’s all.
Thx for great tips. Manual white blance i can nail it but with ligths on it gives me very hard time. Two things i would like to ask. First do u use red filter with blue ambient ligth filter? Secondly, i tried to shoot with blue filter on ( first wb then turn on the ligths) everything was still quite red. Any suggestions?
Not sure if your circumstances have impacted on your ability to share in 1080 but I have to tell you that the quality of video in your previous posts has always been a major part of the appeal of your content.to revert to 720 is a major backward step for you.if it is beyond your control then you have my sincere condolences and may I suggest you rectify the shortcoming asap
Do you have requests from universities asking you to share your footage with them, or asking you to videography certain species of animal and./or plants? For example, when you caught the rare pigmy seahorse, I imagine academia would want to see your uncut footage. And, have you found a species that had been unknown? :¬) Webhead USA
Very well done. I have two questions as I shoot with the A7SM3.... which slow motion frame rates would you suggest for a starting point? Also do you use the on-camera filter that Keldan has that matches the blue filter from the light (on wide angle setup).... or just set the manual white balance with the lights on and start rolling.
Holy cow what a great vid...Nate you just keep hitting it out of the park! So informative, better than any college professor at keeping attention and detail...
A very good overview pictorial of what it takes.
My old boss used to say, I can teach the basics, but you have to experience the reality.
Best explanation of white balance I’ve seen!
I always wondered how your videos we're so much better than any other ones I have ever seen. Great job of explaining it. You are a true master of The Craft. Thank you
So nice of you
Great video Nate. Loved it

Great point!
From your new intro, I see you've hauled out and repainted Sylfia's Hull and bottom. maybe painted the Wheel house as well .. Awesome info .. you make the best under water videos on UA-cam or anywhere in my opinion. You're living a diving dream, thank you for taking us along for the adventure!!
Thank you very much! Yeah, we did in Darwin!
Just realized I was not subscribed (fixed that), yet I watch your videos all the time. UA-cam knows what I like.
yeah! glad to have you on board!
Holy cow what a great vid...Nate you just keep hitting it out of the park! So informative, better than any college professor at keeping attention and detail...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Nate, I really enjoy the underwater shots you or the crew do and the explanation of the equipment was perfect
Great explanation. I will try to implement that when I go to Raj Ampat
Great Job Nate & Crew. 👍👍🙏

I don't do videography but I like photography so this was very interesting even if I'm not the targeted audience. Great video.
Glad it did!
Very very useful. Thank you so much.
Mate thanks very much for taking the time to share your knowledge it’s greatly appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
great informative video, thanks for all the 1st class underwater videography tips. hopefully one day ill be able to learn this art in person with all you great videographers.
THANKS!!!
First tip I was ever given. Dedicate a button to white balance, and use a white card. Good advise even without flash or video lights.
Thank you so much for this video and the info .... GREAT!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️🤙🙏
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Wow, thanks for the help. I’m still stuck in the knockoff GoPro camp, and need to add light. A Diver’s Life suggested this video to me. Big help. Thanks.

Brilliant thanks fellas
Great video guys, very interesting to see how you make great underwater videos...I see you filmed this episode in my old home town of Brisbane...cheers!
Thanks so much for making this video! It’s super helpful. What’s your favorite wide angle and macro lens?
What lights would you use with a GoPro ? Just a beginner but loved the video
Very nice intro to underwater video
great job
Great video
Thanks!
Many thanks for your MasterClass! One question that I have is about position of video lights for wide angle: you mentioned that video lights should be directed outward. However, in most of your clips, they are directed inward. Does it matter?
LOVED IT !!!!
Glad you did Blue!!!!
Wow, very eye opening as a photographer/videographer looking to dive into underwater image capture. 👁❤️🦅
Wow, thank you!
I think this video shows people so they can see what they've been appreciating in watching 👀 your videos 😃 I do think about it when I see such beautiful shots , they are so amazing that I love to re-watch a lot because I love the ocean footage so much ❤
When are you going to show us the new crew on a journey? I'm looking forward to that again.
Thank you very much Ann! The second season is coming soon!! You will see them there

Does this mean that everytime you white balance you need to remove the red filter
Am I missing something?
I have video lights 11,000 lumin each, plus an option to add another 6,000 = 27,000 in total
great video, you take white balance with or without lights on?
I thought the filters were for the mixed light issue when you have a red filter and need to blue filter your lights?
I love it
What is your opinion on Bigblue lights? They make a huge 65000 lm lights.
The best camera for you right now, is the camera you have.
Just wondering what's the next adventure with the changes that has happened and hopefully covid lessoning travel problems?
Basically that you cant plan strictly beforehand!!
Would love to hear about who you learned from and who inspired you: Stephen Frink, David Doubilet, Stan Waterman, Amos Nachoum, Cathy Church, etc.?
Really amazed at how complicated this can become very quickly, and pretty expensive as well. Even what you called inexpensive made me gasp! LOL

Where is jordan? She not gonna be on here anymore?
You will have to keep tuned!
always a pleasure to watch but how are these guys a non profit?
@@dwade2026 …yes that’s my point!! Borderline shady…. But I’m all for them and their pursuits!
