    Dry for wet is a film technique where smoke, filters, lighting effects, fans, and slow motion are used to simulate underwater scenes while filming on dry land. This allows hair and clothing to appear floating in currents. Modern technology also allows digital bubbles to be added, increasing realism. Examples include films like The Shape of Water, The Lord of the Rings, and Aquaman, which have used this technique for various underwater scenes.

    Dry for wet

    Dry for wet is a film technique in which smoke, colored filters, and/or lighting effects are used to simulate a character being
    underwater while filming on a dry stage. Fans and slow motion can be used to make hair or clothing appear to float in the current. In
    recent years, it has become possible to digitally add rising bubbles inpost-production, heightening the realism.

    Examples
    Guillermo Del Toro's 2017 film The Shape of Water uses this technique throughout. The first instance being the
    introduction sequence in the film.
    The technique is in use in the final scene ofThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ringwhen Sam sinks into
    the River Anduin. It is also used in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers when Frodo falls into the Dead Marshes.
    In the underwater scooter scene inLara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
    In A.I. Artificial Intelligencethe technique is used for the scenes with the submerged attractions at Coney Island.
    Many underwater scenes inFor Your Eyes Only were shot this way due to a medical condition actressCarole
    Bouquet suffered that precluded her from doing any underwater stuntwork.
    The exterior shots of the submergedRed October in the film The Hunt for Red Octoberwere also achieved using
    this technique, with a model hung by wires that could be tilted and turned in three dimensions. [1]

    The technique is used in many underwater scenes inThe Spirit.[2]


    Much of the model (and occasional puppet) work for Gerry Anderson'sStingray TV series was done using the
    technique (Stingray was a submarine, so many shots showed it underwater). Many scenes were filmed through a
    narrow fish tank containing small fish which would appear swimming in front of the model; bubbles could also be
    created in the tank to complete the illusion with no post-production ef
    fort required.
    Scenes in upcoming Live-Action DC Superhero filmAquaman have purportedly been shot using this technique.[3]
