Hi Everyone, Posted previously about potentially using a dry for wet technique on the next project we are working on. http://www.theunderwaterrealm.com/ Still looking into the dry for wet technique idea, but now broadening horizons to potentially using a led projector which can project the caustic patterns we require. So far I am yet to find a projector that doesn't look utter rubbish! However, I have seen a mechanised system that rotates a piece of pattern glass over a metal gobo in front of a light. This has been the best "effect" of underwater light simulation I have seen yet....but it was only on a very small scale, and I need something that is going to be MUCH bigger!" Does anyone have any ideas/ suggestions on how I could maybe get this to work on a larger scale, and how I may go about manufacturing something like this. OR does anyone have any experience with the LED "ocean" projectors? Many Thanks in advance! E

Thanks Phil. I have indeed done some research into films that actually were shot underwater. We are also working very closely with some wire work teams for the actors etc, to make it look like underwater movement etc. Smoke/ slow mo/ lighting is going to be the things that sell it I think.

Hey everybody, First post on the forums, so very sorry if this has found itself in the wrong thread etc. I am currently in the pre production stage of an underwater project due to shoot in Sept this year. Some of it will be shot actually underwater, some of it won't. I have been looking into the dry-for-wet technique, and there doesn't seem to be a massive amount of info available. I actually came across a thread back in 2009, in this exact same forum which gave me some great ideas about bouncing light off broken pieces of mirrors placed in water, but I was wondering if any one has any other suggestions about how this technique is really "sold". You can find out more about the project at http://www.theunderwaterrealm.com/ and any ideas/suggestions you have will be gratefully received! Many Thanks in advance. Eve, Realm Pictures.
