Hi nice video, did you use any LUTs?

[@BluewaterPhotoStore]

Thanks! Nope, we just did all our color grading based on the scene in post. Because colors and textures can get weird underwater I personally like to grade manually.

With this low light monster, what light do you recommend? 1500, 4000, 5000, or more lumens?

[@BluewaterPhotoStore]

That's a good question! If you are going to shooting wide angle video in shallow water with a lot of light, you'll want a higher output light like the Sola 15,000, Kraken Solar Flare Mini 12000, etc. For other types of video, it really depends on the kind of lighting you need to accentuate your scene. For macro, you could be fine with 2500. 5000 lumens would be a good light for both wide angle and macro. Light sensitivity on a camera doesn't necessarily mean that you need less light as you'll need to balance that light with the surrounding ambient light.
