Anyone ever hold their breath during underwater scenes?


It's weird yeah but I do it sometimes. I like to see if I was in that situation, how long I can hold my breath for as long as the characters can. I guess to see how realistic that situation is

I've done it, but while watching documentaries. Can't do it properly during a movie, because they cut from scene to scene, moment to moment, and sometimes from one place to another, stretching time. So the timing is not exactly accurate. We have to stay with the characters from start to finish.

I think there was only one scene like that in Poseidon. When they're all under water, right before the incident with Elena. There were no cuts to other characters in the ship, we were constantly with the main group.

Every damn time. Naturally, it's more realistic when watching a game show like Fear Factor(RiP).
