Neritic Costa Rica FIlm 

Planning for the future:

The stuff you are creating now has potential to launch Neritic into the big leagues of commercial outdoor content.

  • High quality spearfishing content was once hard to find but it is starting to make its way into mainstream markets.

  • If done well, the filming you do now is money in the bank for future brand partnerships, documentary work and TV series.

SHooting Style:

Obviously it’s great to shoot content that can be used for a bunch of different projects.

  • Beautiful Short Films

  • Social Content

  • Diving Clients Recap video

  • Casual documentary/catch+cook style content

Inspirations:

WIley Watson:

  • Watson is an amazing topside cinematographer and owner of Red Tide Pictures.

  • His recent spearfishing film debuted in Montauk Film Fest and he is helping to bring Spearfishing to the public eye.

  • His work speaks for itself and I hope to take a similar path in my career.

David OchoA:

  • I’m sure you’ve seen the work of David Ochoa. He has a similar marketing plan as you - creating premium spearfishing trips for clients and selling them with the videos created.

  • David Captures the whole experience in his stories - traveling to their remote locations, learning the local ways of life, the trials and tribulations of landing these beautiful fish and the comradery created along the way.

  • He isn’t just selling the trigger pull on a giant fish, he’s selling an entire lifestyle - one few will ever experience.

Shot List:

This kind of content is not just shot off the cuff, it takes lots of pre-production and a dedicated shot list to have everything needed in the edit.

-Establishing: draws you into adventure

-Action: fast paced, maintain composition

-Tight Shots: Bright colors, depth of field

-Kill Shots: showing the beauty in death

Storytelling:

The story that David tells is often the same - The Old Man and the Sea: Only after losing the fish of a lifetime does he realize it was not the fish he was truly after - The unknown, the suffering, the adventure.

Of course You and David often land the fish as well.

Distribution:

  • Long form video content will be great for youtube.

  • Vertical footage can be pulled for IG teaser Reels.

  • Some special moments that don’t make the films or your “How-To’s” can be used for IG subscriptions.

    Branded narratives are very popular these days - Yeti, Patagonia, North Face.

    • A well done film can be used to entice a larger company to partner with Neritic.

    • This can be used to scale the operation to more remote locations and higher production value - better equipment, multiple cameramen, higher quality editing.
