“Beauty Is On Fire” in Nassau

Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia shot the video for her single “Beauty On The Fire” from her latest album “White Lilies Island” in the waters surrounding Stuart Cove’s and at the Atlantis Resort. The video involved many underwater scenes in both open ocean and in the spectacular Ruins tank at Atlantis.

Michelle Cove was called in as a marine coordinator and professional instructor to train free-divers and evaluate skill levels of certified extras. Although Natalie Imbruglia is a certified diver, the stunts required for the shoot involved some additional training and review.

According to Michelle, “once I became involved in the production the director asked me to be on-camera talent in addition to co-coordinating the marine aspects of the shoot. See if you can spot me running down the beach, free diving in the Atlantis tank and swimming in shallow water!” “I have worked on many film productions but this one was the most fun. I was already a fan of Natalie’s music and had just purchased the new album right before they called me to work on the video. What more can you ask for than doing what you love and listening to great music at the same time?!”

Over the past few years Michelle has developed a great relationship with the Water Features and Public Relations staff at the Atlantis Resort. Michelle was the on-camera diver representing Atlantis during the grand opening of the Royal Towers. Due to her familiarity with and respect for the delicate marine environment in the Atlantis aquariums, she is often called upon to assist with productions some of which have included the Mary Kate and Ashley “Holiday in the Sun” video, Ricky Martin music video and other productions involving underwater expertise.
