The age of digital imaging is now well established and has revolutionised the versatility of compact broadcast quality cameras. Amongst their many capabilities digital cameras provide unique filming opportunities in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. To this end, Aqua-Fact introduce unique underwater filming capabilities carried out by fully qualified divers. All our staff are trained in underwater filming techniques and have the added advantage of being qualified biologists.
Applications can include such activities as, documentary, advertising, drama and other productions.
Serpula vermicularis - 'Fan Worms' photographed on the Irish West Coast Filming is carried out utilising a digital Sony DCR VX 1000 camera in a dedicated electronic housing with appropriate colour correction filters. Underwater photography has become an important part of the visual assessment by our qualified biologists of environmental conditions in the marine environment.
