Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

oldhollywood:

Above: The underwater funeral procession scene from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916, dir. Stuart Paton), the first fictional undersea film.

Below: Diagram for the Williamson photosphere, which was used to shoot the film. The camera & cameraman were placed in the photosphere and lowered into the sea, remaining connected to the surface via a watertight tube.

Are you kidding me with this? 1916 and they’re putting people on the bottom of the damn ocean and filming them from within a watertight hamster tube?

Filmmaking started badass, and was never quite as badass again.
