While on the Studio Backlot Tour at Disney’s Hollywood Studios last week, I volunteered to go in a water tank and film a short action scene.
This portion of the tour is called “Harbor Attack”:
One volunteer sits in the engine room and is overcome by a deluge of water (1000 Gallons of Water) coming into the room through a window from two dump tanks. The other three volunteers are standing on the deck when an attack happens. Explosions underwater, simulated torpedo bursts, and fireballs are used to simulate the attack. When filming is finished the footage is put together with previously recorded footage of airplane attacks and dialogue and shown to the guests. (Wikipedia)
It’s supposed to be reminiscent of the Pearl Harbor movie; too bad I didn’t get any video footage as it’s the closest I’ll ever come to being Ben Affleck (except for that time I hooked up with J-Lo).
