Underwater Specialist: Luca Coltri
In this interview Luca Coltri talks the equipment he uses, how it operates, and just what he has to go through to work as an underwater videographer.
Beyond the task of acquiring the footage, the post-production process is equally interesting. The footage is shot an 50 frames per second, providing slow motion, and is then conformed using Apple's Cinema Tools to the required frame-rate. The option is there to work at slow motion (50fps) or standard motion (25fps).
