How was the underwater shot taken in Journey to the West?

First of all, the Dragon Palace was built in a video studio, including rockeries, shells and seaweed, and the background cloth was far removed.

The scene of shooting bubbles alone is to make a large glass bathtub filled with water, and the Italian glass fish tank is covered with a solid color background cloth for later synthesis.

Then put the camera into the water, and workers on the other side kept making bubbles, and the cameraman took pictures of the bubbles in time. The next step is to synthesize the scene of the Dragon Palace with bubbles. In today's terminology, it is paving the way. You can see that bubbles will appear everywhere in the Dragon Palace.

At that time, the crew bought that kind of glass water tank, which was filled with water and was specially illuminated by spotlights. Then I put the camera in front to record the lens, during which I deliberately stirred the water surface, artificially blew bubbles and so on. As for the concrete underwater dragon palace, it is the interior of the scaffold in photography.
