Underwater filming
Aquawork always offers the best quality in contents as well as in production and technical equipments. Only through the combination of these three elements, plus a delicate treatment in image and sound post production, we can get the best results.


Submarine equipment
Aquawork has a totally operative and independent submarine equipment, where the camera is encased in a watertight box Gates. Rafa Herrero is the submarine cameraman and Antonio Femenía the submarine lighting technician, both professionals with a wide experience in underwater filming.

Underwater lighting
Under the water light loses intensity, working as an inmense blue filter that absorbs warmer colours as we descend. Besides, visibility is poorer than outside and therefore, lighting of close-ups is very important to bring out colours with all their intensity and to stress all life teeming in the ocean.
