First time shooting underwater video w/ new camera setup!!!

[ScubaInChicago]

So I tried a number of firsts on this dive. First time shooting video with an Aquatica 5d Mk II housing (17-40mm L lens). First time mounted to a scooter. First time with a new Hollis H-160 scooter. First time editing video in Adobe Premier. Let me know what you think?

Depth: 130'
BT: 25 min
Run time: 45 min

Doing pretty good for that many 1sts!

Pretty good for the 1st time.

On your next dive, might want to experiment with custom white balance, or manually setting WB K value. The 5d has a lot of white balance range so you will not need a filter.

Do you do much post production white balance or do you attempt to set it on camera for each shot as the depth changes?

A lot of people will use the daylight setting on the mark ii. I however, like to manually wb when shooting wide..although it is a pain. Set every time light changes and every 10 feet. Wb in post isn't too effective, as you can only do so much. So I find it best to get wb while shooting...although some post production experts will disagree, you have to find out what works for you.
