Sameh Selim on Underwater Filming
The article delves into the behind-the-scenes of filming the movie "Hell Underwater," where director of photography Samah Selim confirmed that shooting scenes underwater was a real adventure due to limited technical resources and the absence of advanced equipment. The crew used primitive models to protect the cameras and tested them inside the swimming pool at Al-Ahly Club, where water leakage caused damage to the equipment. Ultimately, the director sought the help of Armenian inventor Ohan, who designed a sealed casing for the camera to ensure safety during underwater filming. After successful tests in the pool, the team moved to the Red Sea to shoot the film scenes. These activities represent some of the earliest underwater filming experiences in Egyptian cinema, amidst the challenges faced in preparing the necessary equipment and techniques for the aquatic scenes.
