Watch the trailer for Submerged, Appleā€™s first scripted Vision Pro short


Apple just released the trailer for Submerged, the first scripted immersive video for the Vision Pro. The short, written and directed by Edward Berger, is set inside a WWII submarine as its crew deals with ā€œa harrowing torpedo attack.ā€

The trailer for Submerged consists of behind-the-scenes shots and fisheye-looking clips from the short, along with a voiceover from Berger, who claims that the immersive format will ā€œchange the future of filmmaking.ā€

Berger also says putting on the Vision Pro changes ā€œthe way you think about storytelling.ā€ One could see how the location ā€” the narrow innards of a submarine ā€” might be both a technical challenge to overcome (itā€™s hard to film in tight spaces!) and an answer to the disconnect that comes with feeling like youā€™re in a space that you canā€™t actually move around in.

Submerged will be part of a run of new releases for the Vision Pro-exclusive format the company announced in July, including a performance from The Weeknd and clips from the fallā€™s NBA All-Star Game.

So far, the immersive videos for the Vision Pro have been brief documentary-style episodes in series like Prehistoric Planet, Adventure, or Wild Life, or sports reels for the MLS or NFL. The videos take up your entire field of view and they did make me feel almost like Iā€™m right there with the people and animals in them.

But once you get over the neat trick of it all, thereā€™s not much to go back for.

Still, Iā€™m into the idea of Apple applying the format to a scripted show. Thereā€™s more space to play with than the usual flat rectangle of a typical TV show or movie, so depending on how itā€™s done, it could be worth several rewatches to see what happens at different points in the space.

Those who own Appleā€™s headset wonā€™t have to wait long to see if Bergerā€™s lofty claims hold any water, as Submerged will be available on October 10th. As someone still paying off my Vision Pro, I hope they do.
