Boat in the Bay is a family-owned agency specializing in luxury yacht charters in Phuket. They personally inspect each boat in their collection so they can bring you the best yachts in the charter market of Thailand. They approached Phuket Web Media to edit some existing aerial footage into a short video presentation.
Jetstar filmed part of this TVC in Phuket and commissioned Phuket Web Media for the Underwater scenes. Shot on an Arri Mini in a Gates Housing, we provided shooting and location logistics for each of the underwater scenes.
Diving Racha Noi – Earth Touch Wild Oceans. This week’s episode of Wild Oceans is from a little known island south of Phuket called Racha Noi. Special thanks to Blue World Safaris of Phuket for making the trip possible. Phuket Web Media film weekly episodes for Earth Touch series “Wild Oceans” Last month we were in the Philippines and this month sees us exploring the waters closer to home – with trips to Koh Phi Phi National Marine Reserve and the clear waters of Koh Racha Noi. Stay tuned next month as we head out to the far east of Indonesia to a new diving destination on Rote near Timor.
This year I was invited along on the Raya Divers end of season expedition. Every year they head to a new and exciting dive destination and this year it was to the Sogod Bay in Southern Leyte in the Philippines. We dived with Pete’s Dive Resort in Padre Burgos and kudos to those guys for looking after us so well. Especially for letting me dive wherever the hell I pleased for as long as I wanted every dive.
I was filming with my new Nauticam Rig, housing a Panasonic GH4 with 12 – 35mm F2.8 glass. I shot the whole trip in 4K just for fun. The underwater portions of the filming will be shown on Earth Touch Wild Oceans later this month, but for now here’s a quick intro to the trip.
Special thanks to Raya Divers, Earth Touch, and Pete’s Dive Center.
In December 2014 I travelled to the remote island of Hoga – part of the Wakatobi archipelago off the South East corner of Sulawesi. Essentially I was there collecting marine footage for Earth Touch. While there I met Melody Lynch who was living in a small Bajau community as part of her fellowship program. I spend many days filming the Bajau people in their beautiful stilt village of Sampela and also out fishing and sailing around the immediate area as they showed me their prowess in the water. Bajau are renowned free divers and I personally witnessed divers descending easily to 20 meters without the aid of fins or flippers.
