| Here is a before and
after view of the Aquatica research station. The water was
replaced with computer generated water, 3D extensions were
added, the camera crew and equipment were removed, rain and
waves were then added. |
 |
 |
The station and the ocean were created using
LightWave and Arete. The night sky is a matte painting. The
rain and wave elements were shot by Flash Film Works and
composited into the shot.

Here the airplane was composited in with 3D water,
created in Arete, and with the 3D Aquatica research station,
created in LightWave.
|
The Station and the water are all 3D, the rain and
fire elements were shot on film and composited into the 3D
shot.
|
 |
|
The Helicopter was filmed on wires and composited
into a background plate of the set. 3D water, rain, waves,
rotor blades and debris were added.
|
Here we filmed a live action panning shot of the
set and composited in a 3D shark model (created by
Hammerhead Studios). Then we added additional rain elements.

In this shot the camera pans from above the water
through to and underwater view of the Aquatica research
station. The background is a model enhanced with 3D
extensions. The fence and fish and water line are 3D.
Plankton elements were added to give the water a more
natural feel.

This shot is a live location plate of a portion of
Aquatica combined with 3D water and a matte painting of the
evening sky created by Tim Donahue.
