In this workshop, McCoy shares his knowledge of the latest innovations in underwater and water-based photography and cinematography that are spearheading the evolution of specialist equipment with a fascinating variety of applications, from special high-tech High Definition cameras, remote-controlled helicopter cameras, water housings and in particular, his own pioneering work in a special high speed submarine rigged with a camera that he used to film parts of the feature documentary A Deeper Shade of Blue (premieres at Wavescape / DIFF on Sunday 24 July at the Bay of Plenty at 7pm).

Hey Jon - been free-diving for 20yrs incl 2009 national spearo champ 2 x bok colours. Picked up a camera 5 yrs ago - people are loving my stuff - I do a lot of the underwater work for our local fishing shows - while it does pay the rent it's not my ideal. I've got a couple of extreme free-dive productions on the drawing board but it seems to be quite tricky to find a backer - I would love to have a chat to you about them.
