Project Fish is my arm of the “Fishing For Footage” project by artist Julia McGhee<\/a>. The general idea was to film underwater in a way that doesn’t involve motors, noises, or overt human control – essentially to capture footage in a way that doesn’t disturb the local wildlife and adds an element of “random drifting”, as a piece of driftwood may see it, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first rig was simply a piece of wood with a camera mount, weighted to be just<\/em> negatively buoyant, and with a dangling string with a weight on the end. When the weight hits the bottom the rig becomes positively buoyant and stays at a fixed depth…something we added after the first go sank deep into the seaweed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Julia’s first exploration with the original rig – more of a “jellyfish” than a “fish”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
