Underwater Production

Get Wet…Stay Wet. That’s a way of life here at Spring Street Studios. Jerry Pentin was the Director of Photography for the television series “Destination Diving” and shot around the world in places and climates like the South Pacific and the Arctic. Jerry has been diving since 1973 and is a Master Diver. He is also a tech diver having been certified in Nitrox diving and is Rebreather certified as well. We currently shoot with our Amphibico VX1000 Housing using the Sony VX-1000 DVCam camera merged with the Light and Motion HID Light Package. We also offer the Amphibico 100 degree Aspheric Lense to give that “big water” look…you have to see it to believe it. Our latest acquisition is the Sony HVR-Z1 HDV Camera along with Amphibico’s Phenom FXZ1 Digital Marine Housing…it also incorporated the Aspheric lens technology…another “gotta see it to believe it!”

Spring Street Studios has shot for many different productions such as:

Gold Medal Productions "Swimfast" Series for USA Swimming. Jerry spent time in the pool with the likes of Olympians Michael Phelps, Edwin Moses and Lindsey Benko. Just prior to last year's Olympics, we were in the water with the US Olympic team as they gathered for the first time as a team at Stanford University. We provided underwater footage for the coaching staffs and provided some shots of Michael Phelps which was used for an ESPN Special on Olympians.

Bart Cox Productions Aqua Therapy for Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, Cerebral Palsy and Disabled/Handicapped swimmers.

Dive In Depth, Inc "Destination Diving Television Series."
We shot around the world in places like: The Mariana Islands, The Philippines, Fiji, Panama, Bahamas', Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, The Coast of California - Monterey Bay, The Channel Islands, Lake Tahoe for high altitude diving and the Colorado River for the most extreme experience. Catalina, Texas…yeah, Texas…actually the Gulf of Mexico - The Flower Gardens and Stetson Bank …", Bermuda, St Kitt's/Nevas and of course, Hawaii. Last but not least, our trip to the top of the world was amazing as Producer/Director Stefan Schulz and Jerry went to Norway, then the Swalbard Archipelago and on to the Arctic Circle. It was trip of a lifetime and one of the most demanding.

Sharks and Wrecks. As part of the "Destination Diving Television Series" Jerry also had the opportunity to dive with sharks, both in "chain mail" and without in the Bahamas and Fiji. He also experienced many wreck dives in places like Coron Bay, Philippines where he dived on 11 WWII wrecks, a German Luftwaht Bomber in a Norwegian fjord in Norway, and numerous wrecks in the Marianas and the Bahamas.

Many top Fortune 500 firms have also utilized our underwater talents. People Soft for their "King of the World" production and Cadence for their annual sales meeting at Aviara in La Costa to provide an underwater theme for their annuals awards presentations…all awards were made via video underwater (the introductions) prior to the recipients receiving their awards on stage. Cadence also used underwater footage to introduce the next year's sales meeting site.
