    Created by a fully volunteer team, THE UNDERWATER REALM is arguably the most ambitious independent film project ever attempted. Made for less than half of the coffee budget for Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT*, the team has recreated five different time periods, developed their own underwater lighting and speaker systems, and built a life size, fully rocking gun deck of a Spanish Galleon. The team have trained and worked with some of Britain’s top SCUBA and free diving experts in order to bring this ambitious project to reality. To be released worldwide on YouTube for everyone to experience on December 25, see also facebook.com/UnderWaterRealm

    I filmed it also, to show how it works … and then there is a short glimpse of the big screen being booted in recovery mode :-)
