I'm producing a short film about bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) restoration in Port Gamble, WA. The restoration is a nonprofit project and the film is to assist with raising awareness about the issues and solutions, including showing people how much fun it is to get involved as volunteers...

Learn how to grow shellfish in your backyard, create salmon habitat, and plant native plants in your garden. These are some of the water topics featured at a two-day event called “Water Courses – Connecting West Sound.” With over 36 speakers, this symposium is one of the largest educational...

"SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest" is a bimonthly TV journey to meet our neighbors who live under the surface of Pacific Northwest waters. Now in its fourth year, this series produced by Still Hope Productions is a magazine style show -- each episode includes several short videos contributed by a...

Follow along as a hard-hat diver visits the HMCS Chaudiere, a destroyer escort sunk by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia. Episode 19 of "SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest" features "Return to the Chaudiere". If your cable-access station doesn't carry this program, tell them they can...

Can you post a link to what you read? Thanks, it would save me time looking for it!

Puget Sound area You are invited to my video tour of our underwater neighborhood on the big screen at two venues in the near future: Seattle at REI on April 2 from 7 to 9 p.m. ($6 for People for Puget Sound members, $8 non-members) the Norm Dicks Govt. Building in Bremerton, March 31 from...

I did an interview with Howie Robins of the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia, and I'm working on turning it into a short movie about their efforts. Howie also sent me some photos of what he talked about in the interview. In order to round out the movie, I'd like some underwater...

I'm also looking for something for my video housing to make it easier to see the lcd in strong sunlight -- but I'd also like it to have a right-angle bend, so I can look down from above when the camera is near the bottom. Anything like that around? Or anyone been working on a DIY version?

I've thought a lot about this question (photo vs. video) over the years. I've been making underwater movies for about 8 years now, yet an answer to that question only started taking shape for me recently when I started taking still photos too. Not just pointing the camera and shooting, but...

I'm not an expert at critiquing photos, but here are some comments. I thought your compositions were generally really good. But often the focus was not crisp and the colors were muddy. If you work on those two things, your pictures will improve dramatically. One other note: your "blennie"...

I dove Ft. Ward (Bainbridge Island) Saturday, 28 June. Vis was about 10 feet in 11 fsw at high tide with water that was generally clear except for lots of small flocculent particles, the sort that grow bigger as the season progresses. It was OK for doing macro of eelgrass, which is what I was...

Doc, I enjoyed watching your Monastery video sample. Good work! I assume that what you posted was more or less a "proof of concept" to get the idea across of what you had in mind. As such, I think it worked well. You've got a great idea, and it looks like you're taking the right steps to get...

Did I miss something in this thread? Who is making a video of what "work"? And why should we think that there is just one acceptable style of video? Are you saying that if someone is an underwater videographer and a musician they shouldn't showcase their music too? Or what about a...

Hijack away -- it seems to me there's not nearly enough conversation about educational underwater video. SCUBABOARD is so huge, I'm always amazed at the relatively tiny amount of attention do-gooder stuff gets.

A number of schools from all over the country have ordered my DVD "Return of the Plankton." It is a good overview of critters and how the underwater food web changes with the seasons in the Pacific Northwest cold water. School Library Journal (November 2005) page 70: "Narrated by a high...

Blair, that must have been quite an interesting gig! Are you looking forward to more work with TV shows in the future? We sure need to change the fact that 71% of our earth's surface gets just a tiny fraction of a percent of TV air time :-) Dr. Bill: Have you found any takers yet? I think I...

Now in its third year, "SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest" continues to bring the magic, the mystery, the beauty of the underwater world to cable-access TV stations around the U.S. -- 40 stations to date! (and 1 in France and 1 in Canada). Our oceans represent about 97% of the earth's habitable...
