According to Yahoo Movies:

“Nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and OCEANS boldly chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath. Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud dive deep into the very waters that sustain all of mankind – exploring the harsh reality and the amazing creatures that live within. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan and featuring spectacular never-before-seen imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies, OCEANS offers an unprecedented look beneath the sea.”

Our partner in France, LeTeam, helped with the technical aspects of capturing that imagery.  A majority of it was shot underwater which presented a number of interesting challenges.  Challenges that were met with fiber.

The camera was tethered to the back of the boat by a long fiber optic link enabling the film makers to capture some great images of the Ocean and it creatures in their natural habitat.  We hope you get a chance to see the this film and its great images.  It is a bit blurry but you can see the credits above in the picture.  And if you need help capturing a great shot contact Marc Belleville at LeTeam! 

Fiber Optic Video News and Perspective

I just wanted to mention the efforts of our new corporate parent Belden at the 2010 NAB Show, where they showed if its Brilliance line of cabling.  They received a nice mention in Government Videomagazine.

For those of us that use fiber regularly, the real news is how the FiberExpress Brilliance Fiber Optic Connector enables fiber terminations in five seconds or less, in just three simple steps.  This is critical in the broadcast industry where you want to get your cabling working quickly in order to get your shots.  If you are in the market for some cable that is easily assembled in the field please call.
