Watch the video before you continue!
Ok, I hope you survived watching these 5 minutes 😉
Let’s start with the fake gear….
She is running around in a fake scuba-prop tank. Why??????? I guess a normal one was supposed to be too heavy for her to run around for hours.
Ok, they could have used a smaller (real) tank… like a 4 or 7-liter tank. But they decided to go with that ugly prop tank where the hose comes directly out of the tank valve 😆
It looks ridiculous as hell, but someone decided that they would do it like this.
Then she “dives” around in some tank with some blue canvas(?) sheet. That looks really bad, also let me ask:
They rent a nice boat, they are on a lake or ocean. WHY wouldn’t they just film below the boat? It couldn’t look any worse than that!
Instead, they go to some tank to film a bad underwater scene with a fake scuba tank….. oh man.
Then basically everybody might ask why she is holding her regulator with one hand the whole time?
Well, because she is sucking directly on the regulator instead of using a rubber mouthpiece.
Together with the fake tank and the fake ocean… it looks completely crappy.
Why didn’t they use a rubber mouthpiece? I guess it was too “impractical” for the actress :lol:… Oh boy…
And these fake dead birds 😆 . They invested up to 50 cents for those!
During the movie, she runs around with one tank that somehow lasts for endless hours. Why? Well… perhaps the crappy fake scuba tank mockup is MAGIC?!
And then she stops at that railway crossing and the guy shows up.
He has this medical mask where you pump air into the mask… how EXACTLY would that work for him in this scenario without oxygen in the air?????????
Who comes up with these ideas?
And these “dialogues” and the “acting”! My oh my…. I guess they were written in 2 minutes on the toilet and they hired actors who would work for a McDonald’s Happy Meal.
But on the other hand they do have access to such a nice boat and some good locations… fascinating.
I could make some more videos from this as she is basically running around with her scuba “tank” for most of the movie.
But no… I won’t… as the movie fails on so many levels.
I mean the scenario is so great, you could include so many great peril scenes and would build in some real fights where women would fight for a precious scuba tank.
Lethal or non-lethal ending for at least one of them?
Spoiler title
Well, the title gives it away 😉
The question is: Who will survive?

Background info:
It was the second Project F video shoot for Korra and the fifth for Lucy.
This video was initially planned for Lucy and Kara, but Kara got ill… so plans needed to be changed.
I like the element of a sudden/sneaky attack in a scuba fight, and I always wanted to do a scenario where someone makes a video, and then things don’t go as planned… to put it mildly 😉
This video has the first English dialogue in a Project F video!
Korra plays her role of the cliche influencer/social media star great as she got her dialogue right on the very first try!
The underwater scenes were re-shot here and there, and I combined the best material in the video in a way that would fit the best way possible.
We ruined a rather cheap, new hose here, so it wouldn’t be so expensive. The hose was connected to the regulator and immediately lost air as the O-ring was total crap 🙁
We swapped that, of course, as I had some spares… but we lost some minutes for that.
The video was a challenge, especially for Korra, who was without air for quite some time, but she performed really well (Lucy did as well).
The final video got a little shorter than intended, so I decided to add most of the available interesting footage as bonus material!
So you will see alternative takes, behind-the-scenes material, and material that didn’t make it to the final video for different reasons.
I hope you guys will enjoy this first Project F video in 2025!
Thanks for all your support in the past and future 🙂

Frogwoman Lucy is wearing an awesome vintage-style wetsuit from Elios:

I used some filters (text, more brightness)
Where to watch it?
This video will be available again in April in the VIP club alongside the other content!
Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:
You can watch and download these videos in the VIP club,but only for personal use!
Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!
It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money:
All that scuba gear, location rent, and the money for the frogwomen and the safety diver.
If I don’t make enough money with these videos….. I won’t be able to make new videos at some point.
I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future!
After all, you get all those Project F videos each month + additional content for just 12 euros (or even less per month if you get into the VIP club for more than one month).
I would say that is quite a bargain!
Why are my videos not on sites like Clip4sale?
Well, Clip4sale are a bunch of cutthroats that want 40%(!) of each video that you sell.
Yes, they offer those videos to a wide audience, but I don’t wanna give someone 40% for “just” providing the platform to sell the videos.
Also, that would mean that YOU would have to pay a lot more to get the videos…
I guess I could have made more money if my videos were on Clip4sale… but well, I won’t do it.
I will check out other sites like Vimeo, perhaps that would be an option as well.

The future of Project F?
I will release 2 more videos in April, 1 more in May, and 2 more in June from this video shoot (so 6 in total).
Later this year (July/August?) I wanna have the first Project F video shoot in a lake.
So, there will be many more new videos for the VIP club for sure!
…with the big difference that here no other diver is present.
The way she surfaces quickly is done very well. Funny enough the guy who talked to her before the dive told her about the possibility of getting the bends.
She was supposed to dive 8 floors down… that would be at least 20 meters. But she was down there for a rather short time.
So I guess…. she might realistically survive such an emergency ascend, but I’m no expert.
Also, the hose that is connected to her regulator looks like a garden hose… somehow I think that just might burst if used for scuba diving 😉
Now the big question is what happened on the surface! Seemingly there was a fight at the surface and someone wanted her to drown.
Well, that will be resolved in the next episode… I guess (airs on January 3).
So, she nearly suffocated early in the season… and now she nearly drowned.
What’s next for her? Will she wear a gas mask and the filters won’t work anymore? 😉
Or someone rips it off and she gets gassed?
We will see… but…. realistically…she will wear a makeshift space/hazmat suit again as she wants to return to her place.
Maybe she will get into some more trouble on the way…. if that happens… I will make another post.
This one is very close to getting into my Hall of Fame, but I guess the missing wetsuit and rather ugly diving mask… just “prevent” that.
Close call….
*EDIT* January 5:
So, one more episode aired this week and she actually gets the bends after the dive!
She feels it in one of her legs and she has problems walking.
Then she jumps into the water taking the long hose with her.
She stays for some minutes in the water, breathing from that hose until the effects of the bends get better.
The hose then stops giving her air and she swims back to the surface.
So, no scuba scene for today… but here and there I wanna build in a scene with another sort of breathing device.
This scene is from a very new episode of a hit TV show, so chances are good that you don’t know it already… unless you are already watching this show/season.
In this scene, a woman in a makeshift hazmat/space suit wants to get into an underground facility.
And her air is running out completely….
Preview:
She gets into…
…trouble
No air left!

Ok, I bet you have a ton of questions! 😉
Right now I may only answer some of them…
This episode aired about one week ago and there are still tons of questions that need to be answered…
Ok, outside that Silo the air is toxic, that is why she is wearing that makeshift suit.
A big issue on that makeshift suit is the tape that seals off the suit from outside air coming in at the ankles and wrists.
She realizes that one tap isn’t fully sealing one part, so she is losing air… even though there isn’t any sound effect that would indicate that.
But then it gets weird…. she gets some tools and runs down that staircase. Why?
Why doesn’t she fix her problems right away? I don’t know.
Then she is out of air and about to suffocate. #greatbreathingsounds
And then, instead of just removing the helmet… she smashes her visor, which is quite dangerous with that crowbar.
Are special tools needed to remove the helmet without destroying it? I don’t know.
Then she pours some brown liquid over her suit.. perhaps to wash off some toxins?
And why is she then slicing her precious suit with a cutter? Which is also very dangerous. #dontcutyourself
She destroyed her suit pretty well, I guess she is 100% sure that she will never use it?
I hope this will all be somehow explained in the next episodes… and I will update this post… if that happens.
However, all these questions besides…. I think that is a great scene.
There are some more minutes with her in that suit where she falls on her back another time.
I was waiting for her vulnerable air hose to get damaged… but that didn’t happen.
The intensity of that suffocation scene is great, especially with those sound effects.
And wow, she plays it really well as she gives everything to stay alive.
It’s quite ironic how the suit that should keep her safe becomes a danger in itself in this scene.
*EDIT*
Wanna see another great scene with her (diving peril)?
The video was blocked on YouTube for a scene of 1:30 minutes already… so I didn’t try to cut it down further
–
Watch the video before you continue!
Let’s start with the aspects I didn’t like:
Ok, I get that they try to be really sneaky and don’t want to attract any attention… but are we supposed to believe that they drive that boat and get ready
for a dive without any artificial lights? Just with the moonlight?
Well, it looks quite artificial and bad… as if the picture was heavily edited.
And I actually do wanna see what is going on 😉
Ok, let’s go to the underwater part. Some parts outside the wreck look really CGI-heavy… and not in a good way. #bad #nobudget
But once they are inside the wreck… the scene really lifts off 🙂
I think the guy looks really feminine with the hood and mask on, but it’s easy enough to tell them apart.
He is the one with a regulator that has the red colored parts on it. The one who then gets locked away.
It’s interesting that the bad guy attacks the woman first, but ok… perhaps he didn’t realize who is who before he attacked.
We get a LOT of great scuba scenes here 🙂
He steals her regulator, she puts it back in
He attacks her from behind, steals her regulator again(!), slices her air hose(!!!), AND even steals her whole tank! #overkill
I was nearly surprised that he didn’t also steal her mask, her hood, and her fins 😆
Ok, with her tank still on she could have used her second regulator… but only for a very short time as the hose to the main regulator was sliced.
The scene is done too fast for my taste, but ok… still …. quite an EPIC scene!
It’s also weird that they are so low on air as they just arrived in the wreck… but ok, doesn’t change anything about the scuba fight scene.
What is much more odd is that the good guy who had a spear gun used it to poke that bad guy with it instead of shooting at him. Why?
Maybe he thought he might have hit the woman? Or did he not know how to shoot?
But those are all small aspects… all in all it’s a great scene for my taste!
I love to find such scenes in new TV shows and movies as I know all the good scuba-fight scenes from the past by now… more or less.
AND…. I do have a nice BONUS for you folks!
I edited the scene down to a short video with ONLY the scenes in it where the bad guy attacks the woman!
Today I have a very fresh video from a very new movie!
I had this one on my radar for some months and watched it just 2 days ago.
We have 5 friends who wanna explore a newly found warship from WW2.
2 of these 5 friends are women and we get around 60 minutes of scuba scenes in the movie!
I made a highlight video for you folks to enjoy….
Preview:
They are getting ready!
But things go horribly wrong….
….she doesn’t like what she sees!

Watch the video before you continue!
These scenes are my personal highlights from the movie.
Of course, I could have made a much longer video… but the longer it gets the bigger the chances are that it gets taken down by Youtube.
Yeah, the movie has a lot of standard “shark horror flick” elements in it, as the CGI fantasy sharks that are attacking the divers the whole time.
Plus ….you shouldn’t think too much about some aspects 😉
As I mentioned, there are around 60 minutes of scuba scenes in this one… can’t post all that.
I definitely recommend watching the whole movie and I will get the Blu-ray for my collection… if they will publish one.
I like that the 5 divers here are using real FFMs instead of some Hollywood-invented masks that show the whole face.
The 5 divers have some different scuba gear…. and at least there are some differences so that you can more easily see who is who.
As the 5 are trapped in the wreck by sharks … the air is running low, and that adds a lot to the intensity of the movie! 🙂
Ok, there are quite a few odd scenes with the air management here:
The dive leader says they should head back when they have two-thirds left… a reasonable thing to do, especially in a wreck.
He then checked his console and he had less than 100 bar left… which is less than half. Huh? What?
Later he says that he has more than two-thirds left… ? WHAT? Later in the dive and he has suddenly more air left? MAGIC!
Also, at the time… one of the women had less than 15% air left… hmh, very hard to believe that a much shorter and fit woman would use THAT much air in comparison to him!
But ok, I can ignore such things in …such…. a movie.
It has quite a lot of peril elements and it’s certainly entertaining if you accept the fantasy sharks.
The moment when the frogwoman runs out of air is certainly a highlight!
Great job Mr. Soundguy 🙂
She remains calm and has quite some freediving skills. Even it is quite odd that she doesn’t clear her scuba mask!
Not much sense in swimming around in a flooded mask…
The scene where she hides from the shark and breathes from the air pocket is also quite intense!
I’m quite happy that we had some good new scuba movies in the last few years 🙂
