“@reddigitalcinema Growing Up Animal: Homemade Underwater Housings, with Director of Photography David Barlow
“We filmed all our in-utero models in a hemispherical tank of warm water, so had to waterproof our kit to move around the models. We opted for the Laowa probe lens as it was narrow and the business end is already made to be waterproof. However, it is short and the camera end of the lens is not waterproof and neither is the camera, #REDDRAGON #DSMC2. We swamped one lens early in the shoot and it had to return to China for repair - it was nearly six months before it came back, far too long for a shoot already delayed shoot by COVID. So I had to get another one and that survived! The end result was a real ‘Heath Robinson’ mix of a plastic bottle with the bottom cut out and a jacket of heavy duty plastic bags all held together with duct tape and self-amalgamating tape. It took so long to put together and test to make sure it WAS waterproof that we then never removed it for the next 5 months of production!”
