Static shots at the start were OK, but maybe it would look better with the footage slow-mo'd instead of frozen, and maybe blur the edges of the slide transition, or change the colour of the immediate borders, might look a bit nicer than an obvious border.
Other than that it went really well with the music and was lit and shot really well too.

Best bit for me was the awesome silhouette (spelling?) shot at the end.
How fast do you have to swim to keep up with a whale shark?

I guess the SA stuff would have great whites and all sorts in it. I'd really like to see it, maybe a shorter edit with less compression?

I really want to go diving.

Thanks for the reply, Bgarthp.

I'd of liked to do something a bit better with the slide transition but I've only got Studio 9. I know what you mean though it would look much better. The static shots were a bit of an after thought so I'd even leave them out. They were just a shot held still, not an actual still shot (photo). You do have to swim very fast after Whalesharks. Because they are so big they hardly move their tail and they fly, but I have larger fins than most so I can keep up for a while. Whilst shooting this I ran out of air but I was only 10m so its not too bad, but you have to be very careful.
I'll put on some of the S.A. stuff now. I'm affraid theres no Whites but there are Hammers and Raggies. They are 1MB each and 30 sec long.Good quality too.

Thanks very much.
