Fancy seeing you here Lindybeige!

I can’t wait to see you guys colorize some of those fly thru milk shots with a tiny spaceship for an epic wide shot.

Guys it is amazing - absolutely amazing - and I'm learning a megaton from you. There is one thing however about all "underwater" fakes that is pretty much impossible to avoid; it immediately betrays the footage wasn't actually shot in the water. The trick is that, as any diver can testify, due to how water refracts light, the light rays look very different when you look upwards from the depth. Simply speaking, instead of light rays coming to one point above the surface of the sea, you see them as if they are focusing on yourself, spreading as they rise to the sea surface. Which of course doesn't drop the quality of your work.

That was so cool, especially that Giger shot!!

Have you guys ever done any life size underwater stuff in a pool? Would love to see that. Like Jaws where they used milk in a swimming pool for some scenes.

There's a German Sci-fi series from the sixties where they have spaceships starting from underwater. They too used carbon tablets for bubbles. It's nice to see techniques from then are still handy today.

amazing guys.. I may get into this myself at some point.. but it's quite a bit of outlay with the water tank.. and alot of weight, unless your on a ground floor level.. I'm in a flat.. so I'm a bit concerned I'd flood the flat lol.. love to try this though..just thinking out loud here, but could you have achieved this shot by filming the sub behind the tank, so you still got all the layering going on in front, but rig up the sub behind the tank and infant of a green screen or blue screen, I don't know what the issues are here, but could that have solved some of the issues you had with lighting and blacking out etc...

Amazing watch! Thank you to everyone involved with this series.

Cool stuff, once again - wish you to make an entire feature with all these practical effects one day - keep up the awesome!

Did a video shoot in aquarium as well for my movie. We used 25l tank + water and added some Calpis Soda (Japanese milky soda drink. P.S. actually quite good) and put Nanlite Forza with spotlight lens on top to achieve light rays in the water. I wish we had much bigger aquarium, but at the end of the day we've got the result. P.S. Keep on going guys! With love from Russia and Japan!

Hey guys I love the video, you definitely blow me away. Especially with the Milk effects. Have you ever tired something like the opening aura shot from the Tree of Life movie? It’s right before the fish tank effects and reminds me of a flame but it’s more of like an organic light leak of some kind. Anyway, love the video, great work.

We used a fish tank for our upcoming horror film HAUNTER FROM BEYOND. It´s a bit tricky and you need patience, but the results are amazing!

Amazing video as aways!! I'd love to see a more in depth video about the lighting process, i know there's so much more knowledge involved than what you fit in the video, and you guys do an incredible job with light!!!

Filp the mica shot and tint it orange and you have a nuke! Your static bubbles might make a nice star field for spacey shots. Would shooting through the narrow end allow you to get that depth, front to back, that you want? A piece of hose will allow you to syphon the water saving the bucket work. Filming somewhat near a drain, would allow easy direct draining...

This is the third of your videos that I've watched. You got my sub. I've learned so much in just three videos. The dry-for-wet technique and then the wet tank work in this video, huge amount of knowledge shared there. Up till now, I've done very little video work, mainly because I'm rarely happy with the final results. You've spawned many little ideas in my head. I just might be encouraged enough to set up a few little rigs in my shop to practice some of this. Thanks for sharing this kind of knowledge in such a clearly demonstrated fashion. Some of the terms and phrases you've used are, as of yet, unknown to me. Clearly, I still have much to learn. Great stuff, this is. And great fun seeing and learning how it's done. BTW, at 03:15 in the background, just to Tommy's right, there is something that appears to be a, how shall I put this, a D.O.U.S. (dong of unusual size). What's up with that?

Would love to see you attempt stop motion using miniature models something similar to the battle of Hoth. Btw your facial hair reminds me of a magician/mystic and now it makes sense because your a magician of VFX! Edit: me and you both mentioned Giger at the same time. A man of culture!

So COOL!

Thanks for all the great stuff guys! Maybe you could do some slit scan film techniques and try and recreate like a 2001 A Space Odyssey. Your fancy motion control rig should come in handy for that. And possibly even compare the camera style verses what can be made with simple CGI software.

This can create a very cool visual effect, which can be *enhanced all the more* by simply adding a touch of food coloring to your saline mix.

I was thinking, if the lowest values are messing with the contrast while stacking the layers with additive blending modes. Then maybe you can simply crush those lowest values to a nice flat black before layering them? Because while 0.002+0.001 makes 0.003 and so on then if you clip the low end you'd have 0.000+0.000 and still have 0.000 as the result and can layer hundreds of layers. Sure, one will loise a tiny bit of edge detail on the particles as they blend to pure black instead of a noise floor. But with the channel resolution of that camera you have lots to spare before it becomes too crunchy when rendered.
