Camera crews get their safety briefings from the Captains (plus an important one from Monte about not angering his brother) and work to prepare 100 cameras on the 6 featured vessels and the 2 chase boats. Cameramen capture the fleet's king season departure from two unique perspectives: the bottom of Dutch Harbor, and aerial shots from a belly-mounted turret camera worthy of the James Bond movie Skyfall. Insights into creating music from the Bering Sea as series Creator/Executive Producer Thom Beers and series Produucer R. Decker Watson Jr. get into the act creating sounds for composer Didier Rachou to weave into the soundtracks.
Camera crews receive safety instructions from captains, including a warning about not upsetting his brother. They then set up 100 cameras on six fishing vessels and two chase boats to capture the fleet's departure from Dutch Harbor. The footage includes shots taken from the bottom of the harbor and an aerial perspective using a camera mounted beneath the hull, similar to the one used in the James Bond film Skyfall.  The series creators and producers are involved in composing music for the show, working with composer Didier Rachou to create soundtracks.
