Some commentary from Steve Alaimo and one of the writers about how the scene was filmed, including how they got the point of view shot of a character going under.

Great find - thanks for posting.

Yes, great find. That's an interesting bit of the story where they talk about how the camera man wouldn't get in the quicksand to shoot the submersion point of view. I had the exact same experience while with the National Geographic Danger Quicksand documentary crew. The camera man had some nice gear and, as you might expect, he'd been all over shooting stuff for NG. But he wouldn't get in the deep stuff. Flat out refused. Lucky for him I was there. As a wannabe photojournalist in my wasted youth I'd dreamed of working for National Geographic. Here was my moment so I told them I could handle a camera and I'd do it. That pov submergence shot at 1:09 was mine - Danger Quicksand
