I got to team up with my good friends Matt Beauchesne and Brendan Raasch last weekend to shoot the second ad campaign for Julian Wilson’s upcoming film “Scratching The Surface”. We shot everything underwater and had an absolute blast doing so. I have sooooo many new ideas now for shoots I would like to do while submerged. More to come on that in the near future. We didn’t have a huge budget to work with on this, just a cool idea and the help of friends. So I learned really quickly that having scuba gear and oxygen would make life a whole lot easier in the future. But I did really improve my breath holding stamina under water, so that’s a plus. Special thanks to Brendan’s parents for allowing us to use their pool. Also huge thank you’s to Bart Wilson for collecting all the guys boards and helping out all day. And another giant thank you to my friend Rich Clark for coming along to help out and give me great ideas as we went along. Such a fun day, I can’t wait for campaign #3!! Also if you’re interested in shooting anything underwater. I rented the camera housing and appropriate gear through the fine people at Borrow Lenses. They’ve linked up with Aquatech to offer housings to the world which is an awesome outlet to have available. Aquatech was super helpful and had all the tips and tricks I needed to accomplish the shoot. Thanks guys!
