He was asken by Nick Roeg to shoot and direct underwater scenes for "Castaway". In 1986 he left the BBC and worked on featured. With his wife he has built up the world renowned production company, Valentine Films.Some of the feature films he's done include, Casino Royale, The Beach, Sexy Beast, Trainspotting and loads more.

I First saw Mike Valentine's work when watching Trainspotting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJrWlHRT-18 and thought it would be good to look at some underwater videographers/photographers for possible underwater location shoots.
