Editing and colorgrading underwater footage

Working as an editor and colorist since more than 10 years now, it was a very huge challenge to find a way to deal with the underwater footage. After many tries and experimentation i think i found a good process with it , what do you think about it ?

This is beautiful. Which coloring tool did you use? What camera & lenses were used for the footage? Any details would be appreciated.

Hi , of course :

- camera : canon 1dx Mark II with a sigma 20mm

- no light / no filter just white color balance around 9K (depends of the depth)

- edited and colorized in adobe premiere with lumetri

Thanks Franck! Looks stunning. Always was a fan of 'em Cannon and sigma glass. One of the camera we used during our 2015 shoot. Adobe has come a long way in the past decade. Great stuff.

Great stuff, Franck Meyer love the footage! Your post reminded me of a video I saw not too long ago about a researcher who developed (is developing?) a way to remove the 'water' from footage. Pretty neat stuff: https://youtu.be/ExOOElyZ2Hk
