Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen

ยท diving

This is my first documentary based on my Bikini Atoll trip from last year on the MV Windward. The last boat on this planet with a license for dive trips to a lost paradise and a shameful pinnacle of human hubris!

Well not all humans. It was definitely not my fault and I am just the explorer ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I was right to avoid videography!  ๐Ÿ˜‰ Afterwards it takes so much time to turn it into something slightly usable. Before it is even worse, as it would simply block you from your vacation...

Please enjoy what I have assembled based on footage that was never intended to be used in this context. Most of the footage is from my Backup-GoPro that is mounted on my Canon. It just runs permanently throughout the dive but the material was by far more useful as the stills I got with my camera.

Also a big thank you to Robert and Peter for their material that was very helpful to turn it into a story. Robert from Wirodive.de organized the trip and was the battle drone pilot, Peter was my trusted buddy!

...and durring the editing process I learned you need real music, you need a voiceover, FCPX is complex and M5 even more...

Here is the result on Youtube: Battle Cruiser Prinz Eugen
