This production was nerve-wracking, incredibly challenging, extremely exhausting, and incredibly time-consuming. In other words: It was pure pleasure!!!
That's what jobs should be like – then they become perfectly good!

It's literally a whole different story to plan and execute a production underwater than above water.  The stages we went through along the way – simply incredible! We quickly became familiar with the requirements and safety of such an underwater shoot and still learned a ton every day.

Timing is everything when shooting free diving

Hardly any project will ever be the same as realizing a production with actors at a depth of +10 meters.
Many thanks to a great team and the trust that we would know what we were doing in the end. We didn't always know that, but we knew which shots we wanted. We just didn't know the ways to get there underwater.
Now we do!
