Widescreen Marine is our second time filming this beautiful underwater eco-system. To fit more in we opted to shoot this one in the widescreen format. The reason for this was simple, I wanted to include as much as possible. The end product is a download which has a more cinematic feel.

This marine aquarium has an open rear, there is actually a window to another room at the back. So I blocked this off with sheeting. This does create a reflection from the rear of the tank, which I thought may be a problem at first. Now that I have viewed the video a number of times, I think it actually gives the appearance that there is more going on in the background. This reflection is also the reason why the camera angle is slightly to one side. I had to do this to avoid getting a reflection of the camera in shot.

I am a big fan of this tank because of the attractive choices of fish species, plus the fact that it features real, live coral. It is not a simple task to balance such an underwater eco system and I was surprised at just how much filtration equipment is stored underneath the tank. When I learned about the steps required to keep the fish and coral living in harmony, I was glad that we can get to enjoy the tank through the video screensaver, rather than actually owning it. There really is a lot of work and expense involved in maintaining such a tank, so buying a $7 video instead makes great sense.

For fans of Finding Nemo you will spot some of the same species in this aquarium. There is a Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Moorish Idol and of course Clownfish. They are all complimented by the neon lighting and shimmering reflections. The 1080p HD quality combines with all of this to make a great video screensaver for any TV or computer screen.
