豆知識

Aquanauts is a 1980 Soviet science fiction film directed by Igor Vosnesensky, based on the story of the same name by Sergei Pavlov.

Production

The film contains a large number of underwater scenes, which required careful preparation and organization. All of them were shot in the region of the southern coast of Cape Tarkhankut in the Crimea. Set design of the Deuterium-1010 submarine station was created in three stages: first the bearing part was made in the nearest port, then the station's compartments were built on the Yalta film studio.

The mechanical manta doll, made at the film studio, was based on a metal frame, to which were attached five lever elements, controlling the "wings". The total length was 3.5 metres (11 ft), and the wingspan reached 5 metres (16 ft). The weight of the device was 350 kilograms (770 lb). The design was driven by a sealed DC motor, powered by a cable disguised in the tail.

The main part of the underwater episodes was shot from a specially built underwater habitable module with portholes providing a circular view. The room for the cameraman, supplied with compressed air through a hose, was designed for a working depth of up to 12 metres (39 ft), excluding the decompression procedure after each ascent.
