How Underwater Scenes Are Shot For Movies And TV Shows | Movies Insider | Insider

[@edwinlin8846]

I love how the Insider makes these videos of behind the scenes of movies. Quite interesting and very thorough.

[@erothrenmacarfime1981]

Hey guys, there's a bunch o' hints to film fake underwater. James Cameron: Hold my beer, son; let me show you how it's done.

[@_pandavision]

Not mentioning James Cameron in a video about underwater scenes is crazy! :D

[@jamesgarrett8833]

Man, Insider is amazing 🥲. Giving us an inside view of how movies are made. I always wondered how underwater scenes are filmed and now I know

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

I'm a journeyman actor / stunt performer, I show up they give me stuff and off we go. Amazing how much goes into just getting to the point where I get my wardrobe and props. Props to all the geniuses behind it all! 😁😁👍👍🙏🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That wind effect looked way better than the CG on the hair

[@Lokitooh]

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video! I hope we get to see a dedicated video about Way of Water

[@lmcfigs4874]

"it may look like the cast of Aquaman are really swimming underwater". it really doesn't. it looks like bad cgi

[@Shixaal]

Bad cgi? You say bad cgi but I doubt you can do anything nearly as good as it.

Anytime this channel does anything related to behind-the-scenes of movies/tv I am watching it. 🎥

[@jamesgarrett8833]

Hey Insider, an idea I have for a future video is how actors haircuts are done because a movie takes months to filmed and yet their hair looks exactly the same all throughout the movie! I know their hair is being cut by the movie hairstylists with their hair cutting tools; I just don’t know How they are cutting it because when I get a haircut, when my dad, my three brothers and my two nephews all get haircuts, our hair is much shorter now then it was before because duh, that’s haircuts worked, but actors are getting haircuts where where their hair does not look shorter, it’s looks exactly the same as it did before

[@nate6045]

The hairstylists in movies are cutting the actor's hair more frequently than you're getting your haircut.

[@tc47440]

Wigs.

[@mehere8038]

so an army haircut, how do they do that? clippers/shears to a set length from the head isn't it. Lets say they want to cut the hair to that length again a week later, how do you think they might go about that? Got it yet? Your hairdresser chooses to cut lots, cause that's what you ask for, no reason they can't use clippers & take off just a couple of mms each cut is there. That's their job!

[@rogerwilco2]

People like that might get a haircut every day or even more. High level politicians and TV hosts are often treated the same way, that's why they look the same every day.

[@Nihal-wx3th]

I would love to know, whta happens with these movie sets after the movie is wrapped up... do they burn it, or reuse it or just store it somewhere???

[@leonnunhofer3453]

I think, most of it leads into burning it. In one way or another. Because they stick with their ideology and people like A.H. So they burn their companies 🤷‍♂️

[@DarylDevine]

Usually the former. It's a bit of a shame

[@anthonyvillanueva5226]

I kinda figured a lot weren't actually underwater especially when characters spoke. The human voice does not travel well underwater. Unless they dubbed it in later.

Amazing CG work. Thank you for the update, Insider..!!

[@glennalexon1530]

A “ POV shot” is a scene shot from the character’s perspective; the view of the character you were showing is called a close-up.

[@tigerman1978]

"It may look like the cast of 2018s aquaman is really swimming under water" - No, it doesn't if you've ever actually done it..

[@killeranu3221]

Lmao, No it definitely didn't look like the entire cast of Aquaman were actually swimming underwater

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

*”The cast of aquaman looks like they’re really underwater!”* Oh you poor thing… You’ve never seen water before. 😢

[@kibathefang6022]

So this video showed the evolution of shooting underwater and yet didn't include the most advance technique used by Avatar? I get that all of those in the video are for scenes where real people will be seen, but even if Avatar is for performance capture, the tech they have and how they actually have actors train to stay underwater for long periods is something else.

[@tulipe_4904]

Very interesting video but I am terrified of sharks, my soul left my body multiple times

[@lukej7758]

This came out three days ago and is already way outdated lol. I was shocked they didn't even mentioned Way of Water, which is easily the most technically advanced underwater filmmaking ever done. The water scenes in aquaman, wakanda forever, and every other example here looks sad compared to the new Cameron movie

[@kennyb1588]

I thought the same about Wakanda forever until I realized they are portraying different underwater settings. Wakanda is shooting for a deeper lower light atmosphere and I think they did that well and they even shot it underwater. Where as avatar was going for a closer to the surface reef area which is naturally going to be brighter and have more easily visible details. I think Avatar was still stronger but for what Wakanda was going for they definitely held their own

[@chrisfromsouthaus2735]

8:45 I don't think bioluminecent means what you think in means. Not unless the costume is legitimately impregnated with living dinoflagellates, or something.

[@vice.nor.virtue]

Why would you release this video on the same day as The Way of Water and include no references to the mind blowing developments in this field which have smashed all these other films out the park. It feels borderline insulting that Insider believes it’s audience wouldn’t notice this. This channel should be _Insider: but not with Jimmy Cameron_

[@edschelchang6123]

Probably not a lot of info on how it was done

Didn’t you already post this video years ago when this movie came out?

@0:19 - if they are in an enclosed submarine device, why would their hair have to be flowing or moving?

[@CameronSalazar2113]

"god we all just love to see Amber Turd again she ruin the movie or her own self with her own words again" amazing movie and alot of work put into it to be shadowed with her name and personality. Also the Hair CGI in Aquaman looks super unnatural and just out right fake they should have just simulated the hair instead of CGI the hair, no one can do good CGI hair and it cost millions for that hair that looks like a cartoon.

[@mammajamma4397]

They do an awful lot for movies that aren't that great.

[@ColinPretorius236]

Amber heard

[@vspatmx7458]

Amber screwing it up was a mess valued at a billion mistakes. Anyways.. One has to move on eventually. Some one else will replace and probably do a better job.

[@leonnunhofer3453]

They said she is essential for the movie. What is ridiculous. They replace a lot of people. And in this movie, they easily could replace her. It's just about 15 minutes screentime. And yes, it seems like the movie wouldn't work without Mira, because probably a lot of the motivations of the people in this movie are about her. But if it's about the role, about the screentime, they could replace her. In movies they do it a lot, with shooting scenes afterwards and replace old scenes. Or even cutting people in if needed. No problem nowadays. They even use deep fake in movies. Didn't they use it even in Starwars years ago for a dead actor? An iconic imperial officer? And that was years ago. It's WB. It's a 200+ million Dollar movie. They could do it. But sticking with her, an evil And violent woman, cruel, a narcissist harming others all the time, even cutting others fingertip off, burning others face with cigaretts, mocking, exploiting others, pretending to donate millions to a children's hospital, but spending it for partying, that's just insane. Imo it has nothing to do with logic. Has nothing to do with wanting to have success. Because they said during the trial, no chemistry with Mamoa. They said she is a bad actress. Didn't get anything because of talent or work. Got everything from J.D. and because of her lies. Cheating and exploiting others. A petition, 5 million signatures to replace her. 5 million people who would watch the movie without her, but who wont watch it with her. It's huge. Dozens of million dollar. Keeping her in the movie is just insane. They fired J.D. because of false accusations. If it's about damage control, it's legal. And here there are multiple reasons. Bad actress, and what she did. Imo the only reason to keep her in this movie is ideology. Cruel ideology. They don't care about truth and what people do. Just about who they are, and their narrative. Mindblowing 🤦‍♂️
