The Titan submersible that is currently missing in the Atlantic Ocean has been used to capture breathtaking imagery of the Titanic and more.
“Capturing this 8K footage will allow us to zoom in and still have 4K quality which is key for large screen and immersive video projects. Even more remarkable are the phenomenal colors in this footage,” Stockton Rush, President of OceanGate Expeditions said at the time. Rush is reported to be one of the five crew members currently missing on Titan.
Filmmakers and photographers point their cameras through Titan’s viewport which Oceangate says is the largest such viewing window of any deep diving sub.Apart from capturing footage of the famous Titanic shipwreck which hasfor over 100 years, Titan also offers researchers and scientists to witness things “no-one has ever seen before.”
“I think my favorite part overall is just being in a submersible underwater. You’re able to see things at a depth that you never would be able to with our human bodies,” says mission specialist Chelsea Kellogg.Titan is made from carbon fiber and titanium. It is designed to dive to a depth of approximately 13,123 feet and is operated via a Playstation 3 controller.
“If you know how to play a video game you can drive one of our subs,” adds Kenny Hauge, a Titan pilot.
