• Resumen

  • The article looks at hydrothermal vent sites that have become filming locations for various films. August 7, 2003, and I am inside the Russian Mir 1 submersible in the Atlantic Ocean. The "Lost City of Atlantis" was one of 10 hydrothermal vent sites that became filming locations for James Cameron's 3-D IMAX movie "Aliens of the Deep." The project involved two month-long expeditions, two oceans, two ships, two Russian Mir submersibles capable of 6,000-meter depths, two acrylic-domed Deep Rover submersibles capable of 1,000-meter depths, 14 scientists, 40 dives, and a slew of crew members for both ships and the production itself. As the science coordinator, I worked as the liaison between the production crew and the scientists. Integrating production needs with scientific ones provided a challenging dynamic.
