Synopsis

Oceanic Observation in HD = HD2O.tv

Dressed in black wetsuits in an effort to blend, Dymon’s filmcrew makes every effort to be near invisible with observing an ecosystem. Non-intrusive techniques allow the “cameraflyer” to gain trust and get incredibly close observations as the residents move about naturally albeit with some degree of caution they also recognize how awkward humans are in water. Dymon’s crew has successfully filmed species at their most vulnerable moment, at rest. This requires a combination of utmost patience, excellent scuba buoyancy control, and physically managing the 60-pound camera rig. The result is the joy of visiting this beautiful environment any time you want.

Director's Statement

Thank you for your interest.
Underwater with scuba gear and mask we see pretty well. A wide angle HD camera sees magnificently more and it sees much better. Until we watched the shots on a cinema display we had no idea just how spectacular the colors were captured in 4:2:2 precision color.
Relax, Entertain, Meditate, Exercise to these nature-scapes. It will elevate your awareness of the world beauty lying just below the waves. Enjoy.

Company goes to great lengths, and depths, to get the shot!

Underwater Cinematography, prior to HD, was largely a waste of effort. Film was not practical and analog video was not capable. The recent shift enables pro-HD cameraflyers, like Dymon, to capture the full color spectrum, truly representative of the beauty found only in live ocean corals, which are actually clusters of animals.

Operating with the philosophy: “Do No Harm.” They are adamant not to disturb the environment and not create any expectations of human visitors. "We are aliens, underwater trespassers, totally foreign and inefficient underwater. We have no rights or position in nature to touch, disrupt, influence, or alter anything in that environment."
