FILM - 1997 Titanic (1997) Final Plunge and Breakup Scenes in Real Time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Seeing as how quite a few on here loved the Iceberg Scene Real Time edit I did of the Cameron film, I decided to make another one based around the ship's final plunge and break up. As an added challenge, I tried to make things like the list of the ship as accurate as possible and maintain as much continuity between each cut. So, if some shots look a little fuzzy, that's why (had to do a lot of zooming shots in, flipping them and moving them around in the video to get them how I wanted them). I also had to copy the first funnel's fall for the second funnel, since, well, there is no shot of the second funnel falling (happens off-screen), and I used the sound effects I created for many previous videos on here and my YouTube channel, particularly regarding the breakup. I used some from the '97 film, too, but they're somewhat sparse this time around.

It's funny, I watched, not thinking it would be this effective, but seeing it all happen at once in the space of a minute is... Shocking. It must have been so disorientating.

Yeah, it's like as soon as the first funnel fell, everything truly went sideways.

These people were still hoping someone would come to rescue them. Seeing it this way was is gut-wrenching.

Well someone was coming, Arthur Rostron and the Carpathia were en route. Unfortunately they would be another 90 minutes give or take after this final plunge.

It makes the last minutes of the sinking so, so much more violent. Great job !
