underfishing have worked with a few companies & I don't think they are aligned with just OMC? (Fox, Jimmy Anderson & KWO?). Their viewing numbers on YT are through the roof in the millions whilst most carp films top out under 25k (there are exceptions - Korda, Alan Blair, Terry Hearn) so I expect Elliot has seen that as a market to tap into.
The underfishing seems to have a global audience & is very simple - high quality footage which allows the viewer to work out what is actually happening without a commentary from someone who is making their own conclusions - that is certainly the appeal to me. I used to watch the earlier Korda DVDs with the sound off & had forgotten to do the same with the more recent films.
wrt cyp - Elliot was right that if you stay stagnant, you get left behind - they were a trailblazers & everyone else seems to have caught up now. I am intrigued to see what they are going to do that is different & look forward to seeing what they come up with. not much new in fishing these days but I am sure there will be something.
I would say that Rich Stewart will be wasted filming people in a shelter looking at screen as he is a wealth of carp fishing knowledge & history so I hope he can find something that works to get the best of his talents.He is a rarity in the current scene as he comes across as someone who appeals to more experienced anglers who aren't as interested in the latest tackle, gadgets & trends.

I completely agree re Rich Stewart - he's also a really lovely guy in person too. Had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity event last summer.
I think some of the best films for Cypography have been their interviews and 'End Game' films. Fair play to them giving the underwater stuff their main focus. I hope they really do some interesting innovation and testing. Proof will be in the films. Imagine doing one on Burghfield and the BC swims past...
