Last month, Ocean Maps had Ups and
Downs: The market entry in the US was a great success as well as the
presentations at two of the most important watersport fairs: The DEMA
in Las Vegas and the BOOT in Düsseldorf (Germany). Ocean Maps went
down in Florida to add two more dive spots in the Florida Scuba
Diving App. The spots belong to the best what the east coast in the
US has to offer:</div>

<b>The wreck of the ,,Duane“:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Duane has a moving history behind
her: She was used to observe the weather in Greenland as well as
during the 2<sup>nd</sup> World War. Moreover, she was used during
Vietnam War and by the Coast Guard – she is claimed the ship with
the most years in duty of military service. 1987 she was sunk near
Key Largo. She now rests in a depth of 40 meters and with her total
length of 100 meters, she attarcts scuba divers from all over the
world.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In 1994 it was proved, that tanks cannot swim. Two M60 military tanks were sunk together with limestone rocks to build an artificial reef. Nowadays, scuba divers can watch a vibrant marine life with lots of corals and fish. The tanks are next to the Matthew Lawrence barge in a depth of 15 meters. The flora and fauna as well as the extraodinary objects make it to one of the most interesting dive sites in Florida.</div>

<br />Instead of jumping
into the deep end, we had an expert, Mr. Engel of the sales company
FURUNO Germany, accompany us to show all the functions and features
of the sonar.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />So, we had a sonar to
test, but what boat were we going to use? Thankfully, Mr. Heinz
Campestrini of the water rescue at Attersee was our captain and took
us out on the “Elisabeth“.

It was pretty cold and

was some fog and clouds which made the Attersee look like a lake in a
horror movie. A little creepy, but a great scene to be exploring in.</div>

Mr. Engel explained to
us how the sonar worked and how we could use it to measure dive
spots. The best way to learn is by doing, so we started somewhere in
the lake and analyzed the recorded data. Then we went to the
Schlierwand, a well-known dive site at Attersee which is also
featured in our application Attersee Scuba Diving. </div>

BEHIND THE SCENES OF OUR VIDEO SHOOT</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Did you know we have a YouTube channel
with great videos on it? The one here shows our local partner at
Attersee explaning the divesite, Schlierwand. We love the video so we
wanted to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes making of it!
<br />
<br />
After the app was finished, we discussed the best way to
promote it and decided producing a short clip with our local partner,
Bocki from "<span lang="en-US">Under Pressure Dive Center",
would be a fun way to get the word out about our app</span>. We
wanted to keep it simple <span lang="en-US">so we asked</span> him <span lang="en-US">to</span>
explain the tour at the common divesite Schlierwand.<br />

Our set up was quite easy:
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We put up a greenscreen and recorded
Bocki in front of that <span lang="en-US">so we could add a
background in later</span>. The audio was recorded with a<span lang="en-US">n</span>
even more simple set up: I <span lang="en-US">used a</span> lavalier
microphone <span lang="en-US">- it's</span> quite small, <span lang="en-US">common
in recording for television</span> and you can put them on nearly
every piece of cloth<span lang="en-US">ing</span>. <span lang="de-AT">This
mic is great because</span> you can <span lang="de-AT">connect it to</span>
your <span lang="de-AT">iPhone</span> and use a professional audio
recording app to get the audio.<br />

<span lang="de-AT">Since it was
windy,</span> I decided to use a windjammer to reduce disturbing
noises. Of course, I brought along a proper camera and a tripod to
<span lang="de-AT">ensure high</span> video quality.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Once the recording facilities were set
up, we <span lang="de-AT">were able to get</span> the material pretty
fast. After three takes everything was <span lang="de-AT">finished</span>
and we <span lang="de-AT">were ready to move</span> into the post
production.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The post production started with
editing the audio with effects and plug-ins like compressors,
filters and Equalizers.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Right after that, our in-house
multimedia designer recorded the screen video of the diving tour and
<span lang="de-AT">placed it over</span> the green screen. Then,
Bocki was put in front of the screen recording <span lang="de-AT">so
while he's speaking, you're able to see the tour.</span><br />

Ever wonder why your video has a
green/ blue colour? Or why your video is not stabilized? Here are
some easy tips to help you make better videos with your action cam.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaOKLIFehFIUxAPQhD3AuUZ-A1QzxDMjfBDXqM_mYF1PNAY6WijDZI0OjR4qTiT0Ub6DaHjadoXVJnBzweQPTOnayu-kYQKP1wF74W2vowhkvKRtHUSBF2T8R9RqSMi8xHIDBXvP0plc/s1600/IMG_1164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaOKLIFehFIUxAPQhD3AuUZ-A1QzxDMjfBDXqM_mYF1PNAY6WijDZI0OjR4qTiT0Ub6DaHjadoXVJnBzweQPTOnayu-kYQKP1wF74W2vowhkvKRtHUSBF2T8R9RqSMi8xHIDBXvP0plc/s320/IMG_1164.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip 1: Learn to control your buoyancy
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
If you are not neutrally or nearly
neutrally buyont, your video recordings are going to be really bad.
Do not record the first minutes of your dive, use the time to control
yourself and try to get used to the special underwater feeling. After
that, you can begin filming for the initial attempts at recording. Be sure to initially focus on remaining calm and achieving buoyancy so you don't get overwhelmed with that and attempting to film. If you make sure your buoncy is
correct, you can concentrate much better on recording!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip 2: Mounting your action cam
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Be sure to choose the right
position for mounting your action cam. I would not mount it on the
head, because the mask might not allow the strap to fit tightly enough; my favourite position is the wrist. You can buy a special
wrist mount, which looks like a fingerless glove that can be tightly fastened. The advantage of the wrist mount is that you can use
your arm like a tripod panhead since the water resistance allows you to move your arm slowly, so you can ensure a smooth camera
movement, which looks great with the right effects in postproduction.
If you own a second action cam, you can mount it on the leg or on the
shoulder to have a different view.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip 3: The colour problem
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To get better colour on your recordings
you should use some filters. The deeper you dive, the less colour you can see/ record so you need to add a red and a violet filter. For
blue water, you might use the red filter, for green water you can
mount the violet one. But take care, not every action cam supports a
filter mount. Here you might have to be creative and build one
yourself!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip 4: The wide angle
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Most action cams have a wide angle
which is great for wreck diving since it make it easy to catch the whole
wreck in one picture. Did you know that wide angle lenses can be good
for close up shots, too? They allow you to record impressive images of fish and corals with your action cam. The angels vary by
the company, so just go for a dive and try to find the best
distance for close up recordings.

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip 5: Night diving</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Now we go to an advanced topic: video
recording during night diving. Of course, you can use heavy pro
equipment with 3 lamps and a really good lens. Is it necessary? In my
opinion, no. To record videos during night diving, I mount my action
cam on the bottom of a good lamp and set the picture to
,"upside down" so that the camera is turned but the picture is
displayed correctly. The footage looks really great, because on the
one hand you have the black of the night and on the other hand you
see a certain angle of the underwater world which is enlighted by the
beam of your lamp.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I hope those tips help you make
better recordings during your next scuba diving adventures. To see an example of how a night diving video can look, check out this link of my dive to the
Twin Towers at Attersee using the plastic dive cards provided by
Ocean Maps:
