[00:00] How long could you survive inside the belly of a whale? Am I dead? Oh, s***! Oh, s***! Oh, f***! Ah! In the upcoming survival thriller Whale Fall, Austin Abrams plays Jay Gardner, a scuba diver searching off the California coast for the remains of his late father,
[00:15] played by Josh Brolin. But after being swallowed by a massive sperm whale, Jay has just one hour of oxygen to escape, forcing him to rely on the lessons his father taught him in a tense, claustrophobic race for survival.
[00:27] So naturally, to find out what this would feel like, we built a set that shrinks to approximately the size of a whale's stomach. And to simulate the pressure of oxygen running out, I'm going to attempt to survive in Subnautica 2 while the walls close in around me?
[00:39] Wait, what? Presented by 20th Century Studios WhaleFall. Alright, here we go, here we go. Point A to point B. Okay, I'm running, I'm running, I'm jumping. Oh god, okay. Oh my god.
[00:51] Ooh, this, I already have a fear of this. Are the walls closing in already? Oh my god. I don't even know why I agreed to this, because I wouldn't consider myself claustrophobic,
[01:06] but I think now I am Is that a camera up there All right we are just going to go ahead and oh God all right Okay I already half I less than half of my oxygen tank is empty
[01:18] Oh God, okay, this is not good. Okay, I'm pulling this. My oxygen is about to run out. And, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Where do I go? Where do I go? The walls are closing in for real.
[01:31] Oh God, oh God, okay, yep, I'm dying, I'm dying. It is, I am in, it's all black, it's all dark. I can't see anything. I can't see anything. I died. I ran out of oxygen. Holy moly. Okay, this is, wow. How did they do this?
[01:43] Who approved this? Okay, we're trying again. We're trying again. I know where to go now. So, man, this is going to give me nightmares. This is so scary. The walls are touching both of my shoulders.
[01:56] It's really odd in here, by the way. Where am I going? Where am I going? Here we go. Wait, did I make it? Did I make it? Give me a second, actually. I'm fine, I'm fine.
[02:09] Let me just go ahead and upload this. Oh my God. I feel like I've never stood up before. I feel like this is how I've always been. Okay wait something happening Okay I think we going oh God Okay i feel this is genuinely terrifying i should stop talking my my i i running out of oxygen for real here we go okay something
