This video was made as a contribution for REEF's Sensational Seas DVD. It was captured with a Panasonic HVX200 during the making of the IMAX 3D feature, Under the Sea 3D. For the most part, I captured this video while the 70mm IMAX 3D camera was on the surface undergoing film changes. The expedition was one of three we have made to South Australia in recent years. During our most recent trip I recaptured this Giant Cuttlefish sequence in 4K with my RED MX camera. Many thanks to Rodney and Andrew Fox of Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions for their support and leadership on each of these trips.

Filming Great Whites from Howard Hall on Vimeo.

This video was made during one of five expeditions to make the IMAX feature Under the Sea 3D. Ocean Technology Systems built the custom underwater communications devices we used which included microphones embedded in our rebreather mouthpieces. You will notice a fiberglass prod our safety divers were prepared to use to push sharks away should they get too close. The prod had a rubber tip and was harmless to the sharks. We never really needed to use it.

To say that the underwater IMAX 3D system is cumbersome is a laughable understatement. But I love working in this format precisely because it is so challenging.

Under the Sea 3D is a co-production of IMAX Corp and Warner Bros Pictures in association with Howard Hall Productions. It was released to IMAX theaters in February 2009

Ocean Requiem from Howard Hall on Vimeo.

I created this video several years ago as a subtle indictment of over-fishing and gill nets. It was captured exclusively on HDCAM with a Sony 900 camera. Original music is by Alan Williams.

Cocos 2010 was captured using the RED One camera during 14 days at Cocos Island, Costa Rica. During that time we made four dives aboard the Undersea Hunter submersible, DeepSee.
