HydroOptix Ultra-Wide SCUBA Masks
Our first promo contribution – back in early 2004. Jon Kranhouse got in touch with us asking if we could help with providing promotional footage of his invention, the ultra wide angle dive mask. Jon spent years as an award winning Hollywood Cinematographer, having shot over 20 million feet of 35 mm film for Movies, TV dramas and thousands of commercials – all above water. Knowing optics, he believed that underwater vision could be vastly improved, so he gave it a shot. His early prototypes in 1991 were such a hit, Jon contracted the optical engineers who fixed NASA’s once-fuzzy Hubble Space Telescope, and the designer of Panavision’s award-winning motion picture lenses, to perfect designs for what will become a broad line of products. Take a look at the finished result.
