Technical concerns about Aquaman Solo Movie...

The movie will in all likelihood probably take place 90% on land anyway to try and capitalize on Thor's success so most of this stuff is a non-issue.

>to try and capitalize on Thor's success

It's going to be a chick flick?

>>85458860
Probably. They'd be dumb not to try and sell Mamoa to women. I actual predict the movie will follow Thor's plot almost beat for beat.

>>85458428
Of for fucks' sakes.

CGI.

Logically they should just speak normally even underwater and the audience should assume it's being translated or whatever automatically, but maybe that's too silly for these movies.

>>85458918
Which will look like shit.

Im pretty sure Snyder will already establish all the groundwork for Aquaman (like effects and techniques) with Justice League.

There's only two ways I can see of doing it. You either shoot plates under water, then shoot Mamoa doing stuff in front of a greenscreen and insert him into the plates or you actually have Mamoa underwater with a scuba guy next to him to give him air and just digitally remove the scuba guy. Or a combination of both.

It's a little more complicated than that. They'll have to film him in slow motion to get that under water effect and maybe use a wind machine for his hair if they go the green screen route which could look amazingly bad. I'm kind of worried since Wan isnt that experienced with cgi.

>a couple of things have me worried
that's because you are not a flmmaker

>>85458921
That's the only solution that won't be distracting and annoying but yeah it'll be really goofy. Hopefully the audience just gets used to it.

>>85458428
Maybe you should primarily be worried about the fact that Momoa has never been in a good movie to date.

I imagine they were not overly concerned about talking when they greenlit the film because of synders disdain for having characters talk in costume anyway now that he does not have infulence after his flops there probably panicking.

For the breathing maybe if they had gone with the shirt they could run air up to him from a tank in his trident up though a pipe in his shirt (assuning they could develop some sort of fancy miniture breath mask) but as is its a problem

As for movement im not worried about that im sure they will do fone there.

But yes its going to take some technical genius to pull this off

>>85458921
You would have to face away from the camera though

>>85459332
Funny story, British military asked James Bond writers how they make the underwater breathing device.

Did anybody care when it happened in the DCAU?

>Aquaman can talk underwater but I have no idea how this is going to be presented in a movie that won't be goofy as fuck.

>>85460280
So 2 1/2 hours of this?

https://youtu.be/Y--MuIgwfQ4?t=50

Yeah that could work.

>>85459407
It was a little odd actually but since it's animation I let it go. Not sure if audiences will be able to do that with a live action movie.

James Wan has already said how he's going to go about the talking underwater thing.

Source?

Some con panel. Just google 'James Wan Underwater Aquaman' or something. I'd copy and paste it but I'm on my phone and the site takes too long to load without Adblock.

>I love the idea of underwater speaking but with a real sort of sonic, aquatic quality to it. So there's this sort of aquatic, almost sonar/whale thing. Even though it's in a human language, there's this slight sort of underlay to it, this ping to it, which I think would be interesting for us to design from a sound design perspective. Yeah, it will be fun. Also, Zack has some ideas that he'll be doing in Justice League.

So he's going to have them talk and put a filter over it exactly like what OP thought.

>The only thing I can think of is maybe just having the Atlanteans use telepathy to communicate with one another but that might be even worse.
Since Aquaman mentally controls sea life, this would make sense and might not be too bad

Found him

Momoa seems intent on doing as much underwater stunts as possible
