Caught the filmmaking bug so already working/planning the next installment in my upcoming series. I have ambitious plans to incorporate some scenes underwater. Does anyone here have experience with that sort of cinematography? Camera, gear, experience, lighting, etc? Will love to hear and discuss more about it. Thank you so much!

I'd recommend renting one of the GoPro cameras. But it depends on what your DP feels comfortable with.

I think the big thing you have to plan is how long you anticipate being underwater per shot and how close you intend to get to your subject (which will determine the best lens for you). Your footage will look better if you choose two or three high-quality prime lenses versus giving yourself more options, which you won't be able to change without coming up anyway. Just my two cents!

Expand commentPelan I'd get down to my local scuba club as you might find a few people their who are doing their own underwater film making of their dives etc with their own gear who would be willing to get involved.I'm Australian and in Australia all scuba divers by law have to have up to date underwater rescue tickets I'm guessing it's similar in the U.S. so you might be able to find a couple of rescue divers for your own piece of mind.My wife wasted 4 nights of my life and numerous hours of research to attempt to film a simple scene of an actress in a white linen dress diving into a pool swimming underwater to the other end.And in 20 hours of footage maybe we got a couple of minutes that worked.Footage from different nights shooting was unmachable and most usable footage was only seconds long.From memory my wife shot it at 24 frames if she did it again I'm pretty sure she'd shoot at 120 frames or more so the short bursts of really good footage could get stretched in the editing suite.Long story short 4 weeks of hair pulling wife has a tantrum footage no longer exists.The only other thing I was thinking was a few years ago the winner of Film Riots(youtube) 60 second short film competition was an under water film called Shark Survival it's completely green screen VFX and from memory there's a video on youtube called Shark Survival VFX or something similar.That may be a more feasable way to shoot this for you.Best of luck anyway,y.
