Filming Great white sharks outside of a Cage in Mexico December 2009

In December 2009, Dan spent 10 days working with a group of Sami reindeer herdsman in the Artic Circle.
Conditions were down to -27c, with a windchill factor of -42c!
This was the coldest conditions that Dan had flown in,and it was one of his most challenging assignments so far. You can see some of the image from the trip Here.

The extreme cold made it difficult for the engine to start due to the fuel almost freezing! The air was so thin, and there was no wind, making it almost impossible for him to take off. The matter didn't help when he had to wear so many layers of clothing.
Dan in in the process of working with a production company to produce a film about the flying reindeer heardsman. Watch this space for more info.

A Simple test film I have done for a lens manuafacturer to see if I can get 360 degree film from the air. This technique I am now developing for underwater usage. The unit is small and can be used almost anywhere!

Dan builds his own underwater housings, and has designed housing for still cameras including the Nikon D2x,& D3x!. Hasselblad Xpan, SWC, and video camera including the Sony Z1. His cameras have been used on numerous assignments, and been used to depths of in excess of 200m.
He is a pioneer in high resolution panoramic and spherical underwater images and digital underwater photography starting back in 2000.
In January 2009 Dan built a 3D housing for a Modular HD CAM. The flm shoot contiues this summer, and will be out on TV or even cinema later on this year.. For more info cleck it out HERE.

3d Shoot in the Bahamas  View Printable Version 
Thursday, May 07 2009 @ 03:41 BST
Contributed by:

Last month I was invited to join a French Production to produce a 3d film on the freediver Herbert Nitsch. We spent 2 weeks
in the Bahamas on the idilic Island of Long Island. We worked closely with Panavision France, and they supplied us the Modular HD cameras. We chose the Easylook minicamera systems, with external recorders.
I built the housing specially for the shoot, and it was built in just one week without seeing the cameras, only measurements!.
I was then given only one day top make the camer fit, and work. More info on the trip follows.


To see more on the shoot go to. http://www.underwaterimages.co.uk/sit..._itemId=62
