Create SFX (special effects) lighting by shining a flashlight through a clear jug partly filled with water. To make the water really shimmer, give the jug a little shake!
Create your own underwater creatures and attach them to a stick or clothespin, or tie them to a clothes hanger. That way, you can move your underwater creatures without getting your hands in the movie!

Create your background. A blue sheet will help make it look like the deep blue sea. Add toys, shells, a treasure chest, or anything you want to your underwater movie set !

Here are some fun Artzooka ideas on how to make an underwater movie without getting wet!
If you don’t have a cameraperson, you can set up a stack of books and set your camera on top. Adjust the height of your camera by adding or removing the books.
5Want a submarine in your movie? Use a toy sub and attach it to a stick. If you want to make the sub look really big, zoom the camera in for a close-up. To make your sub move, move your camera up and down, or side to side.
