All the fins on the Productions has just completed a revolutionary expedition to film and document the shark of oceanic sharks in the Bahamas. The trip included the first dive at night never planned, organized and photographed with the oceanic whitetip without the protection of a shark cage.
Experienced diver and photographer Robert Cantrell was the organizer and the leader of the effort. "We have spent more than a year looking at a strategy for this dive." Common wisdom is that you do not have oceanics at night. When we entered are first in the water during the night, these sharks curious and daring us pushed. It was intense. "The images that result are riveting to watch."
"I always wanted to try that, but never had the right team at the right time," says the head of expedition shark Jim Abernethy, a photographer from the award-winning wildlife and filmmaker. "Jacques Cousteau called once the oceanic whitetip the most dangerous of all sharks shark."
Emmy award winning producer George c. Schellenger was also on board. He recently won an award for the new documentary "" is your ocean: sharks. "" "One of the best ways to protect these animals is to show their true nature during the day and evening."
The team used a variety of cameras and a seaplane to document the journey and the sharks in a way never tried before. Accomplished filmmaker Joe Romeiro joined the team. He recently won an award for a tribute to the legendary Undersea Explorer Jacques Cousteau. "It was one of the best experiences of my life." We had no idea what to expect during the night. »
The sea voyage took filmmakers in a remote location in the Eastern Bahamas, one of the places in the world where people can find reliable oceanic whitetip sharks last. Throughout history, the survivors of shipwrecks and air disasters have met this shark. This included more famous the USS Indianapolis after the second world war, where some deaths have been attributed to this shark. While once prolific in the world, this shark was hunted to near extinction in the last decade.
Jacques Cousteau called the "Lord of the long Hands" oceanic whitetip sharks due to their exceptionally long, white tipped fins and a tendency to dominate other species of sharks. A documentary of the trip, titled "sharks: Lord of the Long Hands," will be available later this year.
Shark has been included in good place in the 1970 documentary, "Blue water," dead white, when a team led by Peter Gimble, was the first to dive with the multiple oceanic whitetip sharks during the day. During the night, they never left the cage.
All fins, LLC is a new video production based in Alexandria, VA, led by the professional photographer, writer and strategist Robert Cantrell. "Sharks: Lord of the long hands" is the first production for all the fins, LLC, which has as its mission to bring back the feeling of cinematography and the adventure of the film of the prominent documentaries produced by a previous generation of underwater explorers. "." Robert Cantrell said: "In the current age of high technology, it is important to remember the value of a fascinating story."
