dr snapper's 3 essential tips for what to do with crappy underwater footage

1) Have a laugh about yourself - hohoho - you wasted a fair bit of time at this spot, matie; 2) Scan and review it with your Python C++ home coded AI algorithm that detects any thresholded changes in pixel density in the hope to come across anything exciting - try to make it sound more complicated when you’ll explain it to your mates; or 3) Use it as visuals for one of your favourite electronica tracks from a Cafe Del Mar compilation. Then, project it onto a big screen and observe whether it moooves you.

I did the latter with this crabby footage I recorded within the tranquility of Galway harbour not so long ago. Music: Rhian Sheehan - La Boîte à Musique……so moooving, isn’t it ;) You will spot some gobies and a Palaemon serratus shrimp (also called ‘Common prawn’) that dart inquisitively around the baitball at this harbour’s dark corner floor, before the shore crabs come marching in.
