@@aus_liam444 I made a suggestion (a hack) for making simple base rocks using plaster and aluminum foil. Apparently this was WAY out of line and I am an idiot for even thinking such a thing. Great community.
This channel is such a godsend, I absolutely love it. Great advice on how to produce all these fantastic, old-school practical effects from an era of filmmaking that is sadly fading. As a fan of that era, and as a filmmaker who is always seeking to learn more techniques, I can't thank you guys enough for providing content like this!
We love and Film with In-Camera Special Effects, Models and Miniatures, and every technique from over a century of Cinema at DreamFactory Entertainment and Imagination Workshop Studio.
Great video guys. I don't understand how your channel is still so criminally under-subscribed. This is my first comment on RUclips, but I've already given it a like and shared. Thanks for your hard work, your content is awesome.
Thank you so much for that Matthew; it really helps us please the holy algorithm! Continued support like yours will hopefully helps us grow more and more!
This was amazing! Can't wait for the rest of the episodes. When the sets are real, your mind accepts the dangers as real which is why the suspense just isn't the same with CGI. Congrats to the InCamera crew on the best underwater FXs in recent years.
Now that's a compliment, thanks Stephen! And we completely agree, your mind knows when something is real or not; that's what makes practical effects so magic!
.3:18 "..our intrepid explorers are making their way down into the depths of the Pacific Ocean in search of wreckages from the fabled Bermuda Triangle." Good luck with that. The Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic.
👍👏 Great video! Thanks! Any time you guys want to work a collaboration on a picture, please get in touch, we would be happy to work with a fine bunch of crew from England.
"Making their way to the depths of the Pacific ocean, in search of the fabled wreckages of the Bermuda Triangle" Yes. By Bermuda. Very much in the Atlantic ocean.
Brilliant work! But your intrepid explorers are going to be searching for quite a while if they're hoping to find wreckage from the Bermuda Triangle in the Pacific Ocean...
Welcome to my cockpit with a dry to wet technique to put us right down there deep into Martin Shaw, the thought of which was enough to make me gag. How do we turn it on? It takes a lot of time to pull off, don't blame me blame nature it's good to have a unique shape every now and again. This is the first time we see it coming into the depths, it was like trying to corral an ambivalent bee. It's hard, so much joy coming ya'll - next one's dropping! Until next time adios!
I think it's fantastic how it's all done with pocket cinema cermas! I had purchased the original version of the BMPCC (1080p) a couple years back, only for the 4K version to be announced 6 months later. How annoying!
Apparently for filming "The Abyss" the dry-for-wet mas made consistent by using a light-meter and a light and aiming for the same light-value when "smoking up" for each shot. I thought that was pretty clever.
I did a similar effect. I took a $7 kids swimming pool, filled it with water, placed dollar store black foam board half way around and then shot the entire pool full of spray fog. Then I pulled a weathered model boat across the pool via fishing line. The effect was pretty cool. Smoke definitely does make the difference. I may have to try some of these techniques. Fantastic video!
I love how your videos are also very helpful to folks who only work with virtual cameras and lights in various 3D applications. The rules still apply. ;)
This technique goes back as far as the 1940s. They used this Dry for Wet technique at ILM on THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (1990) in fact. Only difference is the miniature was twenty feet (20 ft.) long. Bigger the better for believability. Oftentimes 1/6 scale. And photography would often be filmed "Overcranked" at speeds of 240 frames per second and higher even to give the illusion of massive hull of a submarine in the ocean. Basically sell the shot or what we call in the business a "Suspension of Disbelief".
Amazing, absolutely amazing. Love it! Have you guys tried something like Film Convert to add a little bit of a softer film look to your shots? They're very good as they are, but maybe it would bring out a little bit more of that realistic light rollof, that's inherent to filming with practical models and sets. I have a feeling you guys would film on 35mm if you could. You're using Black Magic Cameras, so it would be no problem to properly simulate film stock.
That's a great shout, we rarely have the time to go that far with the post on these videos, probably should have for this one. You know what they say, a film is never finished, just abandoned 😉
@@InCameraTV Exactly, it's difficult enough to get something completed. Especially on this scale with making-of, tutorials etc. I can run some free tests for you if you want. Would gladly help out artists, that keep the tradition of practical FX alive. Just shoot me a mail with some ungraded stills to the business email on my channel and I see what I can come up with.
So cool how you only need to dress the miniature set for camera to make it look good. Don't really have to worry about how it looks from other angles. Really helps save time and resources. Really cool.
One of the best lessons you can learn when filmmaking, always dress to camera! Similar to the Psycho house episode where only the sides facing camera were painted and weathered!
Brand and model of the fogger please? Is it water based fog or oil? I have to beg clients to let me do practicals, they want CG because they 'think' it's easy fast and affordable - giving zero consideration to whether or not it looks real. Occasionally I get to prove that the only thing that looks real is real, but when someone else is paying for it, more often than not, I'm forced to do it "In Computer". Practical effects rule, In Camera rules!
Your Sub Commander is a genius with his non verbal expressions. 😀 Near the start of your episode you mentioned about a focus thingie. That's how technical I am. may I ask what options I have to focus a manual Sirius anamorphic lens that I bought second-hand to mess around with? It will go on a Panasonic GH5 and a smallrigg cage. Your episode are inspiring me to go well beyond my skill level, bank ballance and comfort zone. But its fun playing with new toys.
The dry for wet technique is good to know. I'm so shocked that this channel hasn't blown up so much info that is relevant to a filmmaker, Photographer, Miniature maker who is also a youtube who needs to get a video for their DIYs. #film, #miniature, #praticaleffects, #photography, #specialfx, #fx Thanks
The Phallic pillars reminds me of the item that Kirk is holding in that episode from season 1, That Are little Girls Made Of. Which I think is funny title.
So, to be really, really anal and miss the point, probably, in full pedant mode, yon big sub appears to be running with several masts raised, which would basically snap off. I know only sub-nerds would notice. Side from that petty point this is great fun. Certainly subbing. Wait...
Brilliant work guys :) If you had the suspension wires thus from the sub to the boom: \ / rather than | | , then I think the sub wouldn't be so prone to spinning/wobbling around. Just a thought. Amazing results :)
Omg yessssss guys! V excited to have met you all last week for the Fable shoot and to see the cockpit up close 🤩 10/10 for yet again another amazing video!! Can't wait for the next one!
I love the old school techniques but its so easy to do this kind of thing in CG now. Even with CG it still needs cinematic knowledge to make these shots work.
A lot of people on channels with similar themes to this one talk about CG as though we're still living in 1986. CG is absolutely PHENOMENAL at so many things that practical effects cannot possibly hope to recreate. To say that practical is 'so much better than CG' is just rubbish. Yes, practical is much, much better than terrible CG, but that goes both ways. The guys from InCamera have spoken very positively about CG in some of their other videos so this comment is not intended as a dig at them in any way!! Practical is obviously a big thing for them, but they are certainly living in the 21st Century :-) And yes, you still need to have a bit of a brain on you to make this stuff work, CG or not.
I unsubscribed to this channel just so I could subscribe again! So much gold here in the form of ideas and hacks. Anything is possible. I'd love to see some zero gravity hacks one day 😉
You should have put your sea bed canyons on a lazy susan on top of a dolly, and keep the model still. Then you could roll the dolly while rotating it to change direction, go straight, whatever.
@@InCameraTV I wanna say thank you for always replying as well. Hey if you ever do something where you need 100s of videos of your fans lmk. Ill send one. Like from the eminem video higher

That's amazing to hear Nigel! Glad you liked the episode!
Ahhh I just love this so much; you should really do a CGI vs Practical collaboration with Corridor Crew!
That's the dream!
oh man that'd be amazing, and at last this channel would get the necessary exposure it deserves.
I second this!
Ok, this is the best video you’ve done by far. The standard of content on this channel is just INCREDIBLE. Bravo!
Thanks Jordan! That's amazing to hear after working on this for over a year
We're gonna need a smaller boat
Good one :D
Bleddy Urrrrmazen! 😎👍 that was such an awesome episode x
Love the video...
Small detail... The Bermuda Triangle is in the North Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific.
We love and Film with In-Camera Special Effects, Models and Miniatures, and every technique from over a century of Cinema at DreamFactory Entertainment and Imagination Workshop Studio.

High praise indeed! Cheers! (P)
Umm.... the Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific. Sorry to nitpick. Fantastic VFX demonstration... really really cool.
These videos are very inspirational. I want to make miniatures just so I can film them in a photoreal way.
This deserves more views.
Thank you!
But the Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic ocean...
Or did the wreckages get mysteriously transported to the Pacific....
Stay tuned to find out!
"Making their way to the depths of the Pacific ocean, in search of the fabled wreckages of the Bermuda Triangle"
Yes. By Bermuda. Very much in the Atlantic ocean.
The opening scene is impressive, but I know that submerged submarines fold their periscopes and antennas. My suspension of disbelieve was gone.
Devil's in the detail. Appreciate the feedback. (P)
Really neat and entertaining video - awesome! Subbed & liked.
One thing: Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic, not Pacific. :) lol Dialogue @ 3:20.
Bermuda...and the Bermuda Triangle are in the Atlantic not the Pacific...lol
Brilliant work! But your intrepid explorers are going to be searching for quite a while if they're hoping to find wreckage from the Bermuda Triangle in the Pacific Ocean...
Darn, all those underwater shots just dissolve into into dark green banding here. RUclips may not be the right platform for low contrast footage...

You know the big submarine, maybe you could 3D print a Seaquest DSV...
Awesome channel. Just found you. Enjoy your video. Thanks!
With some of those shots such as the decent you actually can move the camera instead and leave the sub stationary which reduces wiggles significantly.
I'm so glad I found this channel. You guys do great work!
SPACEBALLS! Oh sh#t, there goes the planet...
I just can't unsee it, it's like Benedict Cumberbatch and Hugh Laurie had a baby together.
Absolutely brilliant! honestly would love to work on a music video with in future!
03:14 Waynes World 😂
