Actor Kim Da-mi shared her difficulties with underwater acting.
On the 22nd at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, an interview was conducted with Netflix film "The Great Flood" actor Kim Da-mi.
"The Great Flood" is an SF disaster blockbuster that depicts the struggle of those who stake humanity's last hope to survive on the last day of the earth engulfed by a great flood as they fight inside an APT. The film was directed by director Kim Byung-woo, who has been praised for his delicate direction that handles the multi-layered emotions of characters placed in extreme situations in works such as The Terror Live and PMC: The Bunker.
Kim Da-mi plays ANNA, an artificial intelligence researcher and humanity's last hope, transforming into a mother trying to protect her 6-year-old son, vividly portraying the constantly growing and changing facets of ANNA, who must fulfill her responsibilities as an artificial intelligence researcher.
In particular, due to the nature of the work, underwater filming was also a main component. Kim Da-mi confessed, "Actually, among the projects I've filmed, this seems to be the most difficult. The space of water is an environment I cannot control. It was also very physically demanding, so they gave me rest time on set. We would film for an hour, then rest for several dozen minutes before filming again. Even on days off, I went to exercise to build my stamina. I tried that way."
She went on to describe acting in the water: "After filming one cut and coming up out of the water, I thought I had made a certain face, but when I checked the monitor that face wasn't visible. I think I had to act more exaggeratedly than I thought for it to register. We filmed those during scuba practice to preview them. We kept monitoring. Body movements too, I had to move my head. There were definitely many things I had to think about and control," she revealed.
She said, "It seemed about 10 times harder than regular filming," and joked, "After filming, I ended up disliking water for a while. Even when I went on trips, I avoided places with water. But then I forgot about it."
