Moar Octopus, two camera angles.

This was not the easiest video to edit... Two cameras without any clapper to sync makes it a big challenging. I opted to go more for effect than exact cuts. Huge thanks to Lamont (2nd Camera) and Dave S. (lighting). You can see the impact of a well wielded off axis light when going for the 'dark' video with 'bubbles' of light.

I turned my lights down for many portions of this so that we could impart the feel of a night dive, which is sometimes hard with all the video lights. Having the second camera for the alternate views and closer-ups really helps when trying to get that across because it allowed me to shoot wide but also have the close up shot.

This is the first time I've edited two same same cameras from an UW shoot and its really cool to be able to just add the same attributes/plug-in effect to each batch of footage for the heavy lifting and only have to do subtle corrections for light angles and things...
