Thats for all the great advice everyone

I shot pickups for a movie last year in a similar situation. We had underwater blacks from the Rag Place in LA. Camera was either a 5D or 7D set at 800 iso, I can't remember exactly. We shot at night, with talent just a couple of feet below the surface. The whole setup was lit with 500w tungsten work lamps from Home Depot. Worked fine.

@stuart do you have the final product online anywhere?

I think you need to set base stop, ISO and fps first to get a reliable answer. Although if it's a 5d mk III I have the feeling you won't have much of remote focus and will want as much DOF as you can get?

24FPS, ISO 800 or 1600. Yes I want to close down for max DOF

Hi,

I'm about to shoot a low budget music video. I will be SCUBA diving with a 5D mrk iii, at the bottom of an 8-9 foot pool. Talent will only be a couple feet underwater. I will line the pool with black cloth to make it seem like a large lake.

Can i get enough light out of an M18 or do I need a 4kHMI? I'm not sure how much light is lost bouncing off the top of the water and how much the water itself will diffuse the light...

Secondarily, should I black the bottom of the pool to reduce fill to get a nice ratio?

I hope some please on this forum have experience shooting underwater.....
