Shark Bay Films is John Boyle and Fionn Crow Howieson. From a specialized underwater filming unit, we have grown into an internationally respected filming and production team, although our first love remains the ocean. John started diving back in 1971 when he was 17 and made his first film in 1990 since when he has produced around twenty underwater documentary films that have sold to television stations worldwide and won dozens of International awards. Fionn has been diving for 10 years and is in his ninth year working full time with John as editor and cameraman. Our "critters" trilogy filmed during thousands of hours diving in Indonesia's Lembeh Strait has won multiple international awards worldwide including the unprecedented accolade of a double Palme d'Or at the Antibes festival. New films for release to television in 2007 include "Secrets of the Giant Sharks" about the intriguing secret lives of the planet's greatest sharks and "Klin Warra" which is a fascinating look at the underwater world of Papua New Guinea. While still underwater filming specialists, Shark Bay take on a wide variety of other work, and our corporate client base includes various national tourist boards, airlines, a helicopter company, hotels, resorts and cruise ships. Among other prestigious contracts, we have filmed and produced all Seychelles and Papua New Guinea's current multi language tourism promotional DVDs. The diversity of our ability is demonstrated by the fact we have produced everything from airline in-flight safety films to the complete and successful national election campaign for an African government and President! John's articles have been widely published and he is author of the definitive guide to underwater film making - "A Step By Step Guide To Underwater Video.” John is a trustee of The Shark Trust, and a regular guest presenter at film festivals worldwide. Projects for 2007 include production of a definitive multi-language DVD about the underwater world of Papua New Guinea, a similar project in Seychelles, and a film closer to home about the underwater life in the seas around Cornwall. We are working with O'Neill and Carve magazine to produce a film about big wave surfing in Britain. We are also establishing an underwater stock shots library - planetocean.tv Shark Bay Films has an extensive underwater stock footage library with hundreds of hours of footage compiled during 15 years of filming throughout the oceans of the world and we provide footage to BBC, Granada, and a number of other international broadcasters. The studio in West Cornwall UK is fully equipped with two full broadcast quality High Definition Avid editing suites which can be hired with or without an editor, and also full DVD authoring capability. We have an extensive inventory of High Definition underwater and surface filming and lighting equipment capable of taking on a vast range of projects. Also available is our 7metre twin engine RIB and 34 foot hard boat capable of any underwater filming projects anywhere in the UK. John and Fionn both hold HSE Commercial Diving Qualifications.
