Oceaner Freediving collaborated with of Dresbach production company Revolutio Creative LLC to realize an idea that had been in his head for a while.
The short film “View from above” is a collaboration between Ocean and Dreesbachusing one iPhone 13 Pro and Filmic Pro app and it is new frame.io integration.
The film is showing Oceaner’s 6.0mm REC45 suitworn by a freediver Sarah Sylvester among its amazing underwater landscape Catalina.
The short film centers around a dive in a single breath, taking the viewer on a journey back to a time when our lives had just begun. Told through underwater photography of a freediver exploring a deep-ocean kelp forest, “View from above” explores the primary relationship between man and the sea. It dares to shine a light on what draws us inwardly to it, drawing a direct connection to instincts long lost on our path to becoming human.
