With decades of experience filming beneath the waves, including recent work on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , Old , and Jungle Cruise , Seabrook shares fascinating insights about his journey from amateur underwater photographer to Hollywood cinematographer, and why Thunderball remains such an influential film in his career. From the groundbreaking 10-minute underwater battle sequence to the technological innovations that made filming underwater possible in the 1960s, we explore how Thunderball pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved on camera beneath the waves. Seabrook offers unique perspective on how underwater filming has evolved from the days of pure practical effects to modern CGI, while discussing his work on recent films like Last Breath and the vital importance of creating safe, comfortable environments for actors working underwater.
