Submerged<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This immersive fiction thriller, available to Apple Vision Pro users around the world for free, invites viewers onto a WWII-era submarine and follows its crew as they wrestle to combat a harrowing attack. This adrenaline-pumping thrill ride showcases the unique storytelling experiences made possible by Apple Immersive Video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApple Immersive Video allows Apple Vision Pro users around the world to experience the next generation of sports, documentaries, and music performances. With Submerged<\/em>, an immersive film from visionary director Edward Berger, we\u2019re excited to premiere the next generation of narrative filmmaking,\u201d said Tor Myhren, Apple\u2019s vice president of Marketing Communications. \u201cVision Pro places you in the middle of the story \u2014 inside a densely packed submarine, shoulder to shoulder with its crew. That deep sense of immersion just wasn\u2019t possible before, and we can\u2019t wait to see how it inspires filmmakers to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApple Immersive Video is a wonderful new medium that expands the horizon of storytelling,\u201d said Edward Berger, director of the Academy Award-winning All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em> and the upcoming, critically acclaimed Conclave<\/em>. \u201cApple Vision Pro inspired me to tell a story in a way that just wasn\u2019t possible before, and in the process, it changed the way my team and I think about creating a story. This immersive technology pioneered by Apple is going to change the future of filmmaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot on location in Prague, Brussels, and Malta over three weeks, Submerged<\/em> was filmed using a full-scale 23-ton submarine set made with real steel, brass, and metal that was modeled after WWII-era vessels. Significant portions of the set were built to withstand being fully submerged, and featured practical camera traps and special effects that were uniquely rigged to expose Apple Immersive Video cameras to sparks, steam, water, and fire without breaking viewers\u2019 sense of immersion. Cast members who might appear out of frame or focus in a 2D feature were meticulously scripted, and participated in extensive stunt rehearsals, including freedive training in dive tanks and open water, to maintain continuity and realism. Fans can go behind the scenes of Submerged<\/em> with a short film that shows how the cast and crew crafted this immersive, action-packed drama exclusively for Apple Vision Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
