Quicksand Fans

Well well everyone,I have a big question.My friend wanna take a video about submerged in a mud pit,But in China no one have tried about submerged in mudpit,is there any security method ? We all afraid of any accident during the process,Can you give me some advices?

well always have someone nearby that can give a quick hand to pull someone out if they get stuck under while submerging. or have a sturdy rope for them to grab so you can pull them out or have it attached to them ready in case they cant get out once under.

My advice, based on many years teaching graduate students to do research, is to avoid trying to jump straight to something that is too big. Don't try to make a video under risky conditions right away. Instead, take your time and do things one step at a time. For example, leave the cameras at home and forget submerging for a while. Just learn how the mud works, how different kinds of mud work, and so on, maybe waist deep at most. Then, when you understand how that works try a little deeper. And so on. To use an admittedly Eurocentric expression, "Rome was not built in a day."

I am also a Chinese

Well,This time our mud pit is not deep,Because last mud pit we used is too deep,And when the girl sink up to her neck she suddenly collapsed,And scared everyone,So this time we use a shallow mud pit and prepare to submerge by squat，But still afraid of safety

I doubt very much the depth of the mud had anything to do with a model collapsing. There can be effects on the circulation from pressure on the neck but that would happen regardless of the full depth. Look up "mammalian diving reflex".

Emmmmm but last mud pit is really deep,My friend says that momment model's face became really scary and ugly ，It was her true emotion.
So this time we choose a pit much shallower,But still a little afraid,We don't know how to guarantee her safety.

First, gain the experience of sinking over your head in mud yourself in various kinds of mud. You can then teach your models how to do so themselves. Also, have your models practice playing and sinking in mud without filming. Some models will take to mud like a duck to water, others will not and should not be used for filming.

There is a big problem!My friend wanna take a true submerge and rescue,It's too dangerous!

I an Chinese,too
