| 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.
