Shark

A Granada Wild production for Animal Planet.

We were sent to Cape Town on the trail of the elusive Great White Shark. Only small boats were allowed near Seal Island where the sharks were predating on the seal colony, so we were limited to using our 10-Nikon rig, which we adapted for underwater use (just in case a shark landed on us). Luckily, after three days of trial and error, trying to lure the shark to the bait, we struck lucky with a fantastic strike on the decoy seal. Not only that, we had taken the computer out to Cape Town, so we were able to scan the images, stabilize and de-flicker, and then put the 10 frames through FloMo, creating the finished shot the same evening to the delight of Jenny Jones, the producer. From our original 10 frames we were able top create clips of 1000 frames, which does show the way forward with the technique - more footage with less cameras!
