Bali Strickland Show Reel

[UnformationChannel]

Senor Strickland, I'd really encourage you to explore those wave vortices more. Each of those clips has phenomenal scientific value. The same goes all the forms seen in your underwater shots showing the transitions from laminar to turbulence. Incidentally, the view of the North Shore through the wave face has got to be the coolest view of the North Shore ever.

As a DP I can't tell you how emotional some of your footage makes me feel. That BBC slow wave surfer footage is beyond beautiful. Your work is inspiring!

[ferpersal]

Awesome.!! Amazing!!...I love the music!!...it fits perfectly with the video!!!..any guess about the music??

[MakiSupaStar]

Love it. I especially loved watching how the turtle adjusted for the wave with his dorsal fins.

[steprichn]

Fantastic

[fromagesfondus]

Is there anyway you have an HD version of this video? The filming and shots are amazing.

[MrFatkook]

[sestyman]

Just saw your epic capture of Dylan and the vortices under the big wave on the BBC website.

awesome work man. do you know what sort of housing i should be looking at for a sony hvr-a1p?

[wgjpinoy654]

unbelievable. Thats amazing

[jcmegabyte]

Nice!

[Kataku2k3]

Awesome work! Just out of curiousity, what do you use on your housing's lens to keep the water beading off (especially in the surf shots)?

[balistricko]

Thanks for the comment, human saliva is the only thing that works for stopping the water beading off, it keeps a fine layer of water on the front of the port and lasts for about 30 or 40 seconds before it starts to bead off, this is what all surf photographers use. not a good look if you leave the camera accidentally recording as you spit and lick the front of the port.

[MelonCiego]

[laiboro]

amazing work dude

[milapse]

great work! very impressive... Are you using highspeed cams for the action?

[balistricko]

Thanks for the comments, yeah alot of the underwater surf footage is shot with the Photosonics 1vn at 200fps.

[milapse]

Really interesting. So that's 16mm that you scanned eh? The sequence where the surfer rides the top of the wave like a 'grind' is so hot! (oh i just noticd that you put all the equip at the end... duh) The 'through wave towards the beach' shots are amazing as well!!

[messageinthewaves]

Your pal at the BBC....
