BBC Asia, Beneath the Waves.

I was excited to see the oceans episode of the latest BBC series, Asia, air earlier this month. I worked on a number of the shoots for this series assisting series DOP David Reichert and producer Mark Wheeler. A highlight was the Morish Idol sequence which we worked on over two years. Deep water, ripping currents and a event that had never been filmed made this an exciting challenge. The event only happened a few times on a particular moon and when it all came together it was one of the most intense ocean events I have witnessed. Too sharky to dive, pole cam and drone were essential tools in this sequence as was the use of Re-breathers for longer dives at depth during the build up to the main event . Great to see lots of my Pole-cam and drone shots in this sequence that is getting so much traction online. A truly unique look with these colorful fish that normally live down on the reef getting hunted in open water buy a pack of hungry sharks.
