California 3D Project, Progress report No.7
Underwater shoot April 2014
If you are following our http://digital3dsea.blogspot.com/
you might want to know what happened with the squid eggs. We were able to shoot 3d macro of squid
eggs hatching. Marry Lynn Price has edited this into our 3d reel.
The massive field of squid eggs we shot in late 2013 hatched
out and the sandy bottom returned to normal, not a trace of squid. See at http://www.red.com/news/epic-dragon-goes-underwater-with-bob-cranston-and-johnny-friday
This past week we got with the Blue and Mako sharks
off San Diego.
Photo of Bob Cranston with the 3 D rig is by Howard
Hall.
This creature is called a Beroid Ctenophore, and is one of
the biggest examples that Bob has ever seen.
On our last expedition we also got 3 D footage of salp
chains, another alien – like creature. These salp will grow larger, and by
summer we will be out there getting footage of the equally strange Mola Mola
feeding on the salp. There is no
shortage of great 3 D subjects right off our coast, here in California.
During the past year, in 2013, the prices on some components making up the Gates Deep
Atom Kit dropped significantly, for instance the RED Epic camera and 3ality
Atom rig. So 2014 rental pricing
at www.digital3dsea.com has been lowered to
meet this market reality. Ask for a new quote for your project.
