The dance. A year ago I had the incredible honour to direct the flying ride FlyHawaii, a unique opportunity to work with some of the most talented water people on this planet. While we were preparing the aerial camera tests we discussed the options of an underwater shoot and how we can create a feeling that resembles that of our flight experience. Fortunately the team at @saltnairstudios came up with a brilliant solution to match the motion in the water to the motion we were capturing in the air with helicopters. State of the art technology allowed us to not only dive through caves with speed but also to create this mind blowing scene with @oceanramsey and @juansharks and about 15-20 majestic sharks. You can only plan so much when you’re working with wild animals in an environment that is challenging on its own and it was the first time that the camera and propelling system was used to film sharks and we didn’t know how they would react but they were actually very calm and not bothered and if anything cautiously curious. Ocean and Juan are some of the most passionate shark advocates, educators and communicators on this planet and witnessing them work with these apex predators was a phenomenal experience and the results speak for themselves. Big Mahalo to the team that made this shoot and experience possible: @mikeprickett_ @jquickness @jdbaluch @b_rocka @taylork.sea 🤙🏼💙 @seabob_official @reddigitalcinema @gates.underwater #hawaii #oahu #nortshore #sharks #diving #freediving #underwatercinematography #dance #savetheocean #aloha (at North Shore, Oahu, Hawai'i) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmLEmAB85_/?igshid=1s4e4aj551za2
