"From Realism to Trickery: The Art of Filming Underwater on the Big Screen"

Hey everyone, it's your favorite social media influencer here and today I want to talk about the challenges of shooting underwater scenes in movies. As we all know, the ocean is a beautiful but unpredictable place, which makes it a difficult location for filming. That's why some productions have to get creative when it comes to capturing those stunning underwater shots. Take "The Shallows" for example. In order to have more control over the water conditions, the crew opted to shoot some of the underwater stunts in a tank instead of the open ocean. But with advancements in technology and scuba gear, films like "The Meg" were still able to film in rough waters with trained stunt divers. But it's not just about safety, the production design and cinematography also play a huge role in making underwater scenes believable. For "Thirteen Lives," shooting in water tanks was a safer option than real underwater caves. However, the production designer had to use steel and concrete instead of traditional foam and wood to create the cave sets. And the cinematographer had to balance getting captivating footage while still portraying the choppiness and murkiness of water. Of course, some films choose to avoid these challenges altogether by filming the scenes on dry land and using lighting tricks and CG to give the illusion of being underwater. "The Shape of Water" and "Aquaman" are perfect examples of this technique. But no matter where the scenes are filmed, attention to detail is key. From Lupita Nyong'o's underwater outfit in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" to The Rock's breathing with his heavy boots in "San Andreas" and even Jason Momoa's hair flow in "Aquaman," every little factor needs to be taken into consideration for the scenes to come to life. So if you want to see how these challenges were overcome in "Thirteen Lives," make sure to check it out on Prime Video and watch the bonus features on X-Ray. Trust me, you won't want to miss it. And don't forget to let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Until next time, stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes movie magic.
