Synopsis:

"In the year 2099, with the new millennium only 8 months away, a large, advanced, underwater salvage vessel known as Auriga 7 glides quietly, deep under the ocean surface. On board: a small military-detachment of engineers, their tech, and enough remaining provisions for several months. The few luxuries the crew had the Lieutenant would call contraband. But the men had their vices and much need to blow off a little steam now-and-again. It seemed to affect the Captain the most; the Lunar War back in 2075. With Earth's atmosphere forever crippled from it, and even though travel between Mars and the moons of Jupiter were becoming commonplace, the Boss rarely liked to surface, preferring to spend his time in the endless swaths of deep blackness. But the Captain may have to abandon the team’s current mission. Ship sensors have picked up an unknown signal that leads them into the furthest reaches of an uncharted abyss. Something stirs; waiting, lurking in the depth".

Intentions:

While working on one of my future edits something funny happened. While editing in black & white, and actually removing these shots, one shot in particular flashes in front of me (see cover art) and ideas started flowing in my mind's eye about a whole new universe where Bill Paxton and a crew on a big underwater ship are searching for treasure in a war-torn future and they uncover a mystery and wake something up that's been slumbering deep under the ocean. I just had to see the story actualized through this edit. This was a very much needed test and exercise for me at making trailers, but I also loved writing the world-building dystopian future at the same time. Going in I knew the edit had to be as clean looking visually as possible. It is meant to be part actually creepy and also part tongue-in-cheek funny since the source footage is Titanic. This edit ultimately showcases a non-existent & hypothetically yet-unreleased film by way of a short trailer/teaser.

Change List:

The only footage used was from Titanic (1997), and it was used to make a creepy, atmospheric "A24 Films" movie trailer for a non-existent & hypothetically yet-unreleased film called DEPTH.

Additional Notes:

The specific footage used is of Bill Paxton's character and his team in the underwater submarines at the beginning of the film. The footage was cut and edited to make it appear as if the small submarines they are in were maybe just a part of a much larger underwater ship or submarine.
