Thorness Bay Protected Wreck video

[Scubbie]

Recently a group of friends and I were invited along to help test a new dive trial. The site is protected as the wreck is of a sailing ship built somewhere in the mid to late 19th Century. They haven't yet positively identified the wreck, but enough work has been completed to show that this is a good example.

This is a video from the day:

At one point you can see me in the video with my GoPro, tray & lights which I used to record the underwater footage. Also used was a Panasonic Camcorder and Panasonic DMC-G5. All the editing was completed within VideoStudio 2019 Ultimate. I am very grateful to Mark who shot the footage onboard showing all the divers getting in and out of the water.

I've added a number of links in the description to help anyone who may be more interested in finding out more about the wreck.

You don't say what resolutions were used, though from the cameras I would assume full HD. The opening sequences, though, looked as though they could have been 4K... All very interesting... but then again, I always wanted to be an archaeologist!!

One minor quibble, which has nothing at all to do with the video itself, related to the word "surface". In an underwater video, I would normally have assumed "surface" refers to the waterline between air and sea, but in the video it was clearly referring to the seabed. Or is "surface" a term of art used by divers when referring to the top of the seabed? (As I say, just a quibble from the nascent book editor in me -- and not detracting at all from an excellent video!)

Sorry, it was all shot in 1080 either 50p or 60p. Rendered at 1080 50p. The GoPro & Camcorder record in 50p, the still camera in 60p.

I should have said seabed., rather than the surface. Whoops! I missed that one.
