Sinking Trawler
Resume bullet points:
Designed, prototyped, tested, and installed access hatches into the floor of the set
Assisted with the organisation and implementation of pneumatic bubble rigs in the bottom of the tank to create frothing water as the ship sank
Aided with fabrication, installation, and commissioning of the overall hydraulic rig
Additional information:
There were 7 hatches installed on set, so 7 (+1 spare) were built
They were designed to be quickly removable from both inside and outside the set
In addition to just air sources at the bottom of the tank we included air sources inside the ship to really sell the turmoil in the water
There were also water sources located inside the ship, and special "blasts" of water used to sell the effect of the explosion going off
Fun fact: We drained the underwater stage tank to fit the ship, rig, and bubbles (I believe we were the first production allowed to do so)
SKILLS USED: Metal fabrication (cutting, grinding, turning, milling, MIG welding), pneumatics
Uh... Spoiler Alert?
The only behind the scenes clip of the ship I could find.
