Here's a little snippet from a Natl Geographic show that I find kinda interesting:

The rest of the show does not cover Williamson. There is apparently more existing footage of him at work. But the above is all that I've seen thus far.

The video is called J. E. Williamson on 1988 National Geographic Show, and it's dedicated to the man who shot the underwater footage (the first ever done) for the silent Msyterious Island.

The video is less than two minutes long, but very interesting. I couldn't find a video called With Williamson Under the Sea (or something like that) which is about his invention that allowed underwater photographpy, but I did find this -- the complete silent version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which has this info card near the beginning.

Enjoy the movie!
