Ha! Boy, she is patient! At that point I’d call it stubbornness! For more than 4 years I kept the secret on my babies’ birth. At nightfall, full night or just at dawn, according scientists (I love to be mysterious with them also), she tried everything! One day, graciously, I let her film me. She almost missed me, Fran was desperately calling her as she had her projectors… on a weever(?). For sure, she would have felt terrible about missing me!

A big thank you, Elodie, the most adorable of underwater camerawomen, for your confidence in our material through all those years, although it sometimes takes some patience to obtain custom-made material at Subspace Pictures.  Congratulations for you films, full of poetry and remarkable photography.

Really, she’s not my favourite… because of her so many lunches passed me by! When she’s there, I silently move closer, slowly stretching my tentacles towards her subject, which could be my lunch… when, pop! In a flick she chases me away! I even got a kick on the head one time when I had managed to catch, for a few seconds only, a nice and plump seahorse! She should become hardened, it’s the survival of the fittest down here!

Caroline Brett and Alan Miller were teachers at Wildeye. On the residential weekend courses, when students arrived, it became clear quite soon who had the determination and iron will to succeed in the business where passion is the requisite base line. It was clear to both Caroline and Alan that Élodie was bloody hopeless.
But then she made all those extraordinary movies… committed herself to her subject with enthusiasm… and now has carved out a reputation for excellence in her chosen field. You can’t argue with that.

P.S. Not being entirely serious, you understand.

Elodie, not only rhymes with Melody, but her voice sounds like one as she tells us stories of the deep. She is a sponge for information and a joy to have around. A superb underwater filmmaker with a great eye for detail.

Yes, I had her work hard to reach me… you know, one needs to merit beautiful images of me! One needs to be in good shape to join my kingdom. Actually, as my name says it I’m rather her guardian angel: it’s simply to allow her to eat more chocolate! I know that she’s quite greedy…

I can pride myself to be one of her dearest dreams! I never crossed path with her. I’m not shy though, it’s just that I like to be in demand. Sometimes she dreams of me and I like it!
