Say, just out of morbid curiosity, has anyone on this board ever shot underwater on film, as in movie film, like, with a movie camera? In particular with amateur or semi-pro formats like Super8 and 16mm. I'd love to hear any stories, anecdotes, warnings, etc...
Call me an incorrigible masochist. I just think underwater scenes look so much better on film than on video. I can just imagine putting an old spring-wound Bell & Howell or Kodak or Krasnogorsk 16mm camera in some kind of housing...and then cursing myself when I'm actually out there handling the thing in the water.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
