Nearly every day for over a month, Ludwig Huppmann was stuffed inside an 11-meter model submarine. The crew actively sought out rough conditions to simulate open-water storms ("when the fishermen came in to seek shelter, we headed out to film," recalls Jan-Michael Brandt, the film's production assistant). While Huppmann steered the vessel (and flushed his vomit down the bilge pump), the mini-submarine was tugged along by a 300-meter tow line, which made Huppman feel like "a stone in a can being shaken." On at least one occasion, the tow line snagged the ocean floor, plunging the stuntman beneath the surface. "Ludwig, you've got the most expensive coffin!" Huppmann recalls being told.
