U/w video school

[foamer86]

Hello, I was wandering if anyone knew of any under water places that teach underwater video. I am going to be taking u/w videoagrapher through padi, but i want to go further then that. I will be graduating from Hofstra Universtiy in NY in may with a degree in TV/Video, and really want to pursue a career in underwater video. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly apprecitated.

Thanks
Craig

If your getting your degree in Film, all the same basics still apply. Lighting is key and knowing how to use your camera of course because we NEVER shoot on auto mode right? My best advice is, just go do it, it's not brain surgery.

Practice, Practice, Practice....

I always put it this way, just because Kobe Bryant teaches you how to shoot free throws, doesn't mean you can make the shot. You just have to go out and do it and learn what works for you and your style.

I don't know what your are shooting right now, but GATES is very good way to go for "pro-sumer" camera housings.
