Dry for Wet

Dry for Wet

Dry for Wet is a film technique in which smoke, colored filters, and/or lighting effects are used to simulate a character being under water while filming on a dry stage. Fans and slow motion can be used to make hair or clothing appear to float in the current. In recent years, it has become possible to digitally add rising bubbles post-production, heightening the realism.

Examples

Examples of the technique in use include the final scene of ' when Sam sinks in a river, and in the underwater scooter scene in '. Many underwater scenes in "For Your Eyes Only" were shot this way due a medical condition actress Carole Bouquet suffered that precluded her from doing any underwater stuntwork.

The exterior shots of the submerged Red October in the film "The Hunt for Red October" were also achieved using this technique, with a model hung by wires that could be tilted and turned in three dimensions. [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099810/trivia The Hunt for Red October (1990) - Trivia ] ]
