Hi Diogo,

Great to see you here my friend.

Thanks for all of your help on the website mediafx.com.br

Do you remember any other video clips or commercials that had underwater actors singins/acting??

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to shoot people underwater without getting any bubbles out of the actors mouth?? such as the Evanescence video clips??

Best Regards,

Francisco

Hi Chico,


Great to see you too and no need to thank me, I'm the one who needs to thank you for bringing a site like that to all of us.

All I can remenber right now are PJ Harvey's "Down By The Water" music video and one ad from LeMaison which I can't remenber the name, it was a mix between CG with underwater scenes I think.

I don't know any tricks to do that, but you could try to enter in contact with Zena Holloway, I think she understands a lot on the subject, check her site with her photos and some film works

This is not the best of ideas, but to prevent bubbles, you should tell the actor not to breath :) Try that in a bathtub! The nose could also be "stuffed" so it would reduce accidental bubbles. There may be special ways to reproduce sound underwater, which is apparently needed for lipsynching. It is easy to give the basic tempo under the water tho.

I did see a bubble or two in Ricky Martin's video that apparently slipped thru. So he did have a video that he sang underwater :)Don't remember the name of the number tho.
