Remember the 2006 big-budget remake of THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, POSEIDON? I remember not hating it, or loving it, but I also remember one of the coolest opening shots ever, a seemless shot that starts from under the ocean; that runs down the line of the epic cruise line, down onto a passenger out for a leisurely run. This was a shot that apparently cost $1.5 million. In this video released by the film’s second unit director of photography Mike Vargo, we get to see how they pulled it off using pre-viz and high-viz technology, followed by a massive wire-rig and green screen set in southern California with lead actor Josh Lucas.
It’s another of those videos which really break-down as to how these kind of wow-effects are done, and while you may not have enjoyed the movie, you may enjoy watching the filmmakers bring movie magic to the screen.
Take a look.
