If you want to film underwater, ‘Getting the color right’ is what makes your video good looking. On the example of how to film sharks we demonstrate how filters can support your underwater lights in getting the right color temperature. We are honored to be trusted by Keldan Lights, testing a prototype of their brand new lighting concept. This is a game-changing combination of precisely measured Spectrum and Ambient Filters for both the camera and the lights which will launch this summer. We took it to the Bahamas and the Socorro Islands for a detailed field-test and are now happy to share our opinion on it.

So there are no underwater lights with colour temperature adjustment knob WTF:
Brilliant and accessible kit..
But in all fairness, there are no inventions here. we have been doing all of these steps for decades. camera filter for depth, and blue filter on strobe / continues lights. in various varieties – its just not been an off the shelf kit.
Are you from germany? your english sounds a bit like a german who's speaking english 🙂
Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm a beginner at underwater video. He says in this video that the White Balance needs to be correctly set. So should I set the white balance with ambient light, and then turn on the lights? Or set it with the shining lights on my WB target? Please help!
It would be awesome if you could do a "Dive videographer con a budget" video.
Game changer? Pretty sure red and coloured filters have been around for a while…. Just another video trying to sell shit
My Sony action cam x3000 does this automatically with or without a dive light and adjusts the red color accordingly!
All you have to do is spend $10,000 on a camera, lens, housing and lights, and your video can look just like this!
Excelente vÃdeo. Parabéns!
anyone using the word "gamechanger" is trying to sell you something
excellent jobs….thanks
Really great video — I spend a lot of time correcting via color grading to try to get close — this is wonderful
Now if I could just get a red filter for my DJI Osmo Pocket! Great footage!
Impressive video; it would seem that their is no correct filter for a set depth as the composition of the water algae content (greening), sediment comtent will also come into play. Would it not be more funtional & easier to try to achieve finished video colouring in post, usind a combination of white balancing, tint & split toning?
Wow, this is one of the best videos on underwater water photography that I have ever viewed.
Just amazing the little things to make the scene perfect
Brilliant video, thank you so much.
No white balance needed if you're shooting log mode
Amazing stuff!
I rather figured once I saw the lights looked red you would need a blue filter for them. It seems a big task, but when broken down it is all simple. I don’t do much underwater, but something like this video would be essential for all underwater videographers to watch. Thank you for posting it!
what is that ball at center of fish
Is the sound at the last video original. Sound weird.
Thanks, Florian for bringing a complex topic down to the basics. Guess it's still a tough challenge to always get this properly.
What camera are you using to film the sharks?
That is so pretty!!!!
well are you not supposed to remove the red filter from the camera when using light ?
pretty sure thats why Everything looks so red when filming under the ledge combined with the lights being turned on.
what i mean is, if you dont use a red filter with the lights turned on, and auto whitebalance, colours would look the same as when you use the filter on the keldan lights.
Thanks for film, What if do not use lens filter and only light with light filter?
Very informative thank you for the pro tips.
really cool vid 🙂
great video, thanks !
Can you use these filters with a GoPro camera.
