“I've been fortunate enough to work with Bas several times as an underwater DOP. For the incredibly exciting commercial for Sailor's Home Irish Whiskey, as well as for my short film Inevitabilis and the commercial for Toobit x Chris Sharma. Bas is a unique spirit, someone who not only delivers incredibly precise film work but also, as a person, truly enriches your set. Every time we filmed together, it was in rough open seawater, with all the unpredictability and challenges that come with it. Bas's confidence, calmness, and control ensured that these shoots could proceed smoothly and with control. This was invaluable to me as a director, but also to the cast.”
