Trailer for the documentary Hydro.
What happens when HD underwater cameras are accessible for divers and filmmakers all over the world? When a great number of people are able to record and film the underwater life and its secret places? When there are platforms to upload and share underwater video experiencies ? When there exist rights licenses like Creative Commons, which allow everybody to use, mix, and share material ? Do you need to film a shark to create your film about them?
Hydro asks the questions.
The diver and filmmaker Xavi Tello wants to create an underwater non verbal film, with music and material available in the web. The original proyect would have needed at least two years of filming and travelling, nowadays the free access to a Creative Commons or Public Domain videos, adds another attraction to this project. Could we do it??
