138. Sir Ken Adams: The Spy Who Loved Me + Submarine Camera

 

atelier ying, nyc.

 

The Lotus Esprit automobile is the centerpiece for this aquarium-turned-camera. As in the film, hydroplanes and periscope extend out with the push of a button and the viewer is treated to a panoramic view from the interior of the Lotus. The digital camera lens could be either from the front hood or from the periscope area, but either way photographs would be taken through the water. Two other controls adjust the orientation of the vehicle "steering" it among the sea creatures (fish, crayfish, tiny crabs, shrimp, or a single betta) and greenery. The special button on the right is for the camera shutter.

 

Sir Ken Adams is mainly responsible for making possible our iconic views of the Bond experience.
