Most water shoots face delays because safety teams don’t understand production workflows, or camera crews don’t understand aquatic risk. Ian Donald does. Combining 15+ years of operational field safety with a BSc (Hons) in Multimedia allows for seamless communication with directors, DP’s, and risk assessors—keeping the set safe without blowing the shot list.

High-stakes water shoots require instant trust. Working alongside celebrities, actors, stunt performers, and camera operators means delivering clear, calm, and efficient instruction when time is tight.

• Celebrity & Cast Prep: Coaching non-diver talent to feel entirely composed underwater, eliminating anxiety, and ensuring natural, confident performances on camera.

• Stunt & High-Risk Supervision: Working with stunt performers to push breath-hold thresholds safely, establishing strict underwater protocols, and managing hypoxic risk without compromising action sequences.

• Crew Safety & Logistics: Briefing and supervising production crews who may be unaccustomed to marine environments, ensuring everyone operates safely around water without slowing down production speed.
