Thank you all for the support! PLEASE Like, Comment, Share the video everywhere as we've put so much time and effort into this series of videos, we'd love for this Submarine series to help our channel blow up! Let us know what you thought of this episode! Stay tuned next week for a Behind The Scenes video at our Film Studios!
@@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!
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
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!
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!
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. ;)
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 have to echo Daniel Broadway. It's huge that you skillfully teach the skills involved. However, you also spell out where we can "cut corners" to save time, money and resources. The concept of "dressing to the camera" is a game changer. It's a simple idea, but clearly rooted in experience. Thanks for this!
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!
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!
.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.
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!
Wow!!!! You did it again! This is some first class in camera practical magic you created. I am so proud to be subscribed to this channel. You're the best.
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.
@@InCameraTV OOOOH. Now I'm excited! I've been trying to track down the Bandai model kits for a while now so I could do some camera experiments myself.
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.
Pro tip: Try starting the Bermuda Triangle search in the Atlantic Ocean first, it might not be quite as successful if you search the Pacific :) Love this channel!
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.
Looking great, guys!!! Some outstanding Dry-for-Wet shots! And nothing the average film-maker couldn't pull off. I seriously cannot wait for the next installation of this series! How is it you guys only have 44K subscribers??? You should have at least 10 times that many!
Thank you so much! And you're right, that's what's great about effects like this; they're doable on a low budget and can still look incredible! Here's hoping we reach 10x our subscribers in the future haha!
For the shot of the submersible trying to follow a circular path through the rocks: try moving the rock pieces and camera on a large board and leaving the miniature unmoving?
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 :)
So excited to hear you play Squadrons!! 😆 That was the first game I thought of when I saw your gaming chair, I thought “you know what this would be perfect for…”
There was also something that Fon Davis discussed with Adam Savage recently on the Tested.com YT channel - using a lightmeter with a white card mounted across the shooting stage to ensure consistency in smoke density between shots in a stop-motion set up. Not a film-maker, so I suggest checking out the videos for (slightly) more details.
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!
When you're exposing for a lit subject, if the background is black (drape/cloth) a bit of light on it shouldn't matter. But you can use flags to block light spill too 👍
This is amazing. Wondering what type of training etc you guys had to get to where you are. What was your journey?! 😁, I’m just entry level at the moment trying to get camera assistant jobs.
Hey Ollie, thanks very much - the support is genuinely appreciated by us all. We have a year in review video planned soon, in which we'll be going over some favourite bits from episodes, behind the scenes stuff and how we all came to be here. (P)

Unsubbed. Sorry but I don't appreciate being harassed for offering up an idea.

Thank you ! I was thinking : "This submarine is awfully long. Are they trying to pull a Spaceball on us ?" And I saw the sign ! So great !
Haha, YES! The first person to get the Spaceballs reference, bravo!!!
@@InCameraTV Dare I mention the Die Hard 2 reference as well? 😀
That was great!

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!
Love the video...
Small detail... The Bermuda Triangle is in the North Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific.
You guys are awesome.This should be a series on a paid service.
haha, thank you!
Gotta love practical effects, miniatures and bigatures.
3 of our favourite things!
The dry for wet technique is good to know.

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
I love this channel. This is the best thing since Movie Magic in the 90's!
High praise indeed! Cheers! (P)
Love the Spaceballs reference, brilliant 👍👍👍😁
Couldn't resist reffing a classic! (P)

This deserves more views.
Thank you!
Excellent work, also love that you had the Bottom Culture on at 0:47 on the little screen. Funny episode.
One of the best 🙌
@@InCameraTV did you play stick a bit of sellotape on the fridge?
Yes, and now we're out of sellotape. (P)

Lol, Tommy your narration brought a smile to my face only because I can imagine you probably cracking YOURSELF up doing it. :)
Haha Tommy’s best Ian McKellan impression!
Beautiful work!
The walls definitely add to the rocky floor that the submarine lands on.
Thank you very much!
Can’t comprehend how you only have 44,000 subscribers. You should be getting paid thousands to do this for feature films! Amazing work again!
Haha thank you! Really appreciate it
Come on RUclips recommend this to more people,you guys deserve million subscribers
I'm so glad I found this channel. You guys do great work!

Amazing video.....also awesome Cowboy Bebop t-shirt!!
Thanks, Charles! Yeah Tommy loves a Bebop shirt!
I'm not a film maker but I love watching this channel. Fascinating to watch and quintessentially British.
Keep it coming!
Nice to see old school practical FX. Great material guys! Can't wait to see more.
These videos are very inspirational. I want to make miniatures just so I can film them in a photoreal way.
so good guys
Thanks, Charlie!
Excellent video as always!

I would totally watch this if it were an actual movie keep up the good work in camera and have a great day
Absolutely brilliant! honestly would love to work on a music video with in future!
Umm.... the Bermuda Triangle is in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific. Sorry to nitpick. Fantastic VFX demonstration... really really cool.
"Thunderbirds" were awesome!
Thunderbirds was one of my favourite shows as a child! Master Puppeteering!
@@InCameraTV Mine too. That encouraged me to go into the VFX industry. Derek Meddings was an amazing miniature effects artist!
Y'all doin the lord's work here, love it!
Thanks, Alex! Appreciate the support!
@@InCameraTV Of course! That miniature made my jaw drop, and knowing it was done practically/in-camera makes it all the more impressive.
.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.
Awesome channel. Just found you. Enjoy your video. Thanks!
I think you gents have the best job in the world, that's insanely cool.
Thanks Martin! This is only our hobby still in our spare time; our jobs are running the Studio which isn't quite as exciting haha
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 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.

Ace. A little ingenuity goes a hella long way, good work. (P)
Awesome video! You guys are inspiring a bunch of young filmmakers to atleast consider going practical!
Our primary objective 😉
Wow!!!! You did it again! This is some first class in camera practical magic you created.

Brilliant!! Thanks for uploading this!

legit the best channel
Thank you so much!
Why does this channel not have more subscribers? Great content!
We'll get there slowly but surely!
I keep thinking, that will look like garbage but you keep showing the actual shot and I can't quite believe how well it works.
"avoiding problems in post production"
That´s how proffesionals work. Fuck yeah! Suscribed!
🙌
Fantastic video guys, quick question, what lens did you use for the 1/72 sub?
How did you maintain consistent density of the smoke from shot to shot? That always seems to be the tricky part with dry for wet.
You can get big hazer machines that maintain smoke density in a space but we're just using what we have soooo 'by eye' would be the answer 😂
There was also something that Fon Davis discussed with Adam Savage recently on the Tested.com YT channel - using a lightmeter with a white card mounted across the shooting stage to ensure consistency in smoke density between shots in a stop-motion set up. Not a film-maker, so I suggest checking out the videos for (slightly) more details.

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!
Ah that is really annoying Brett! We love the BMPCC's, and use them for nearly all our shoots, they're great!
1:04 how did you guys black out the floor without light hitting it?
When you're exposing for a lit subject, if the background is black (drape/cloth) a bit of light on it shouldn't matter. But you can use flags to block light spill too 👍
@@InCameraTV oh yeah duh. thanks!
This is epic. I love the reference. Top shelf job.
