Lights! Camera! Sub Action!


Book Description

In 1976 Mike Seares breathed from an aqualung for the first time. Those few simple breaths were to change his life forever. The sheer fantasy of floating weightless over coral reefs, mysterious shipwrecks and wondrous marine life had to be experienced to be believed. It was the ultimate adventure. And it is an adventure that through exploration and film has taken him to the oceans of the world, revealing sights few are privileged to witness. From filming World War II battleships a hundred and fifty feet down in the South China Sea, to recovering five hundred year old Lucayan Indian skulls deep inside the Blue Holes of the Bahamas. From supervising underwater stunts on the glossy horror flick Leviathan, to reassuring Indiana Jones before another hazardous ordeal. From car chases with Russian scientists in pursuit of an escaped beluga whale, to filming in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Simulator where astronauts train for complex missions in space. These and other challenges make up LIGHTS! CAMERA! SUB ACTION!

Lights! Camera! Action!


Book Description

Action, action, yet more action. No action film worthy of genre would be caught dead without its fair share of red-hot lead and no-holds-barred fisticuffs, high-octane pursuits and gravity-defying gymnastics. Then again, nonstop action soon wears thin absent a rooting interest in Last Man Standing First Woman to Cross Finish Line. Rooting interest inheres not in overt action, no matter how artfully choreographed or breathtakingly executed. Rather, rooting interest comes from empathy for the protagonist and, more precisely, from the dramatic action embodied by the protagonist's struggle to accomplish a worthy goal opposed by a formidable foe. Action is a double-edged blade, overt action being a necessary but insufficient condition to sustain viewer interest, which soars and ebbs to extent that dramatic action intersects with-injects meaningfulness into-gunplay and fistfest, acrobatics and pyrotechnics. Lights! Camera! Action! spotlights the essential elements of action comedy, action romance, and action adventure. It underscores the crucial distinction between overt and dramatic action, which a screenwriter must weave together in order for an action script to hum and shimmer, pulsate and zing.
