Not green water...
This isn't a green water video and it is shortened by over 4 minutes to fit YouTube but here goes...

Berko,
What can I say? I really enjoyed watching that. Your editorial skills are excellent, no clip was too short or too long, nice hard transitions, and I have to change my opinion on narration (I normally don't like it, but this was excellent). It was also good in that it wasn't a linear set of clips from an individual dive, although the way you put it together you felt like you were on a dive with the lass with the Nikonos (apart from the bit when it went dark!). I'm sure the film makers can give more technical feedback, but from a divers perspective I thought it was excellent, Rob

Thanks for the kind comments Rob. The vid was originally supposed to be my 'showreel' but I was persuaded to enter it in festivals and it ended up doing OK. It was shot on 3 chip Hi8 in the pre-dig era so that digi sharpness isn't there but the old Sony VX1000 handled the u/w conditions beautifully. Annette, the lady who did the narration is German (her dad bombed our chip shop
 ) and her voice just fitted the pace and subject and really made the show.Berko Last edited by Andy Berk; 27-01-2008 at 14:52. |

Wow, that really was very good. Well done Andy.
The commentary was really quite unusual with the German accent and its was helped by a good script - I particularly liked the humour in the 'pecking order', very nice. Post more. Any Green water stuff? Tim
