What camera were you using? The detail at 4:01 is incredible :D

[bubblevision]

@bimbus111 Thanks! I use a Sony HVR-Z1P HDV camera in a Light & Motion Bluefin HD housing and Light & Motion lights. I bought this 4 years ago so it is old now.

I know you've heard it a lot, but...awesome video...really kicks ass!

I beg you to tell me what kind of light & motion lights you use....

[bubblevision]

@parasdim1 Thanks! The lights are Sunray Elite halogen lights. Not very bright at all, compared to the LED lights they make today. Most of my footage is shot without them.

[maz199765]

the video is created in a dive? or in more than one

[bubblevision]

@maz199765 Approximately 20-30 dives over 2 liveaboard trips.
