00:00I am enjoying it. I dive a lot, when I can.
00:10Now we're going to get into clothes that hopefully aren't too wet.
00:14I'll see you later.
00:16We built a set about 15 feet underwater and we're having some fun today.
00:21We built this tank from scratch. It's like the second biggest underwater tank in the UK.
00:26We've just made it for this production.
00:28This is actually our first scenes with Rebecca as well.
00:31Is there anything that you do particularly different to prepare for underwater work?
00:35I stretch. I do a lot of just kind of warming up joints because you move differently in water
00:41and I easily can get neck cramps.
00:43The diving, it's mind power because even if you're comfortable in water, there's so much going on.
00:49So one of the most important things is sort of a quick, calming, meditative state.
00:54Rex is going to go in the water now.
00:57So once you go in, you're just one with it. You kind of have to be a part of the environment.
01:03You're rolling and three, two, one and action, Rex.
01:10The set is so cool.
01:12It's an entire environment of corridors and what would have been left if people just evacuated,
01:19sort of Chernobyl kind of thing.
01:21Just a thumbs up in your set, please.
01:24We have the communication device, so we hear the voice of God.
01:27So it's mapping out a scene whilst you're underwater.
01:30It's just a camera, right? Level with camera.
01:34Yes, that's it. And we catch your eyes a lot more than when you come back to that point.
01:39How long can she stay down there before you have to anchor up?
01:42Four hours a day over the whole day on compressed gas.
01:46But obviously that's split up quite a lot throughout the day.
01:49She probably does about 15 to 20 minutes at a time whilst we're doing each scene
01:53and then we pull her up for air brakes.
01:55I'm breathing through a very different tube and sometimes it's too much.
01:58But I know that if I have any issues, he's there to save me.
02:01I'll try and take the diving out so you just concentrate on what you do.
02:06Pete takes diving out of acting.
02:09Julia, she's not a swimmer, right?
02:11No. I mean, people within the silo, they have no idea what water en masse is.
02:17So it's also a matter of trying to not know as a swimmer how to move your legs and feet.
02:23But the weight belts are making me able to walk on the ground.
02:27Just one note for Rex, let's look up at the window earlier, please.
02:31I'm submerged in the environment that I love.
02:34Thank you. Let's cut there. Let's cut there.
02:38I mean, what I like is, it's just fun.
