was tasked with building a set based on the Tham Luang cave system in Thailand. The challenge was creating a flooded cave system tight enough to be realistic, but large enough to fit the actors and cameras. Directed by Ron Howard, the film is based on the true story of the Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave, and the brave volunteer rescue divers who saved them.
The tunnels all had camera ports in them, or five feet of the side missing on one or two. One of them was 90 feet long, and the whole side was out so it was flat. It was called the long flat tunnel, creatively, and it was so flat that you had to go on your stomach and the child either had to be beside you or in front of you in places, and they were never below you, which was how they wanted to carry them, ideally, in the taller spaces. So, in those spaces, the camera could be on the side.
DEADLINE: When you were first building the sets and planning everything, did you expect the actors to decide to do their own stunts?: No, we were prepared for doubles in those areas. But part of my design is also face masks, picking the right face masks and making sure you could see the actor’s faces through them. We ended up with these clear masks that all had clear sides on them so that the light could get through, and you could see their faces.
