I was unable to upload the videos I was making through out the cruise because we did not have live internet and had bandwidth restrictions. I will go back and add the videos to the journal where they fit. I am creating this media entry so you can find all videos and do not have to go searching for them in the past entries.
Hydrographic sampling
I consider this the 'every day video'. It shows the steps taken in most of the 140 rosette casts of the cruise, that happened at night as much as during the day. Begins with the preparation of the rosette by 'caping it', which includes opening the caps, closing the valves and spigots, removing of the ADCP cable, cleaning the sensor of the fluorometer and removing the fresh water syringes from the CTD sensors. You can see a scientists tripping one bottle from the lab after the rosette has been deployed from the Baltic room. The rosette is recovered and sampling begins. I show glimpses of the equipment used for analyzing or preparing the samples for their later analysis. My only regret is not having filmed the deployments during the days in which we were in the ice.

This video has been selected to be shown during the Ocean Science 2012 Film Festival in Salt Lake City. Even though the selection is not based on how good the videos are, it will give me the opportunity to get constructive feedback from Hollywood producers. Here is the trailer for the Film festival.

Trace Metals
In this video scientists involved in the analysis of trace metals in the seawater narrate their work starting with the sampling all the way to the analysis. I enjoyed making this video, but had to fight constantly with it as I tried to keep it short. I am glad I followed the team along the whole process, even if that means having a longer video. I broke it into smaller components so I could post it here.

Mooring Recovery
This was the first real video I made for the cruise. It shows the recovery of one of the moorings on the east side if the entrance to the Ross Sea. I used the audio I recorded from the pre-recovery briefing that Jim Ryder gave on board of the Palmer.

Despertares
Every morning for 38 days I took a short video from the window next to my bunk of the Southern Ocean and put them together in the following video. It shows the visual changes of the ocean roughly every day. I wish I had thought about doing this since the first day, since I missed most of the days in the ice and the biggest storms.

Humpback Whales
Pictures and a short video of the humpback whales that spent several hours around our ship.

Gumbi Suit
We had to learn how to use the survival suit in case of an emergency. I recorded when I tried mine. I am glad we never had to test how effective they are in a real emergency. (Coming soon).
