This project was all about learning how to effectively build and light underwater scenes. Sound design will be added later. Cinematography gets a lot easier when you can program the sharks to swim where you want them to.

Wow!!! That looks magical.
Great job.
Great job.
Thanks, we're just getting started on all the work for sub oceanic stuff, but I was reasonably happy with how this demo turned out.
Went ahead and updated this to 4k
This has a very Thomas Anderson kind of feel about it.
Thanks! I really like TA's use of multi tracking shots, the initial shot in Boogie Nights was kind of an education in multi tracking within a shot. You can see a similar technique employed in the shot starting at 1:20 in the video I posted. One smooth shot that seamlessly shifts audience focus from one actor (group of fish in this case) to another. In the real film, I'll probably do a significant number of these, at a much higher level, because I always liked that technique. With a completely virtual world, the sky is the limit when it comes to interconnected story beats occurring within a single unbroken shot.

I like both types of look, The top one you posted looks great, though I think these are all daytime scenes, where as mine is evening . The deeper ocean is actually quite dark, but then movies don't have to be totally realistic. I might try some brighter looks in future undersea ventures. I was kind of going for a darker look in this case, but I'd like to develop a bright clean look as well. As far as the GOT scene, I think mine is brighter, because during the film you can see what's on the screen sometimes. The first time I watched that episode, I thought my tv was broken.
