This Project give me, good experience with water elements. How to use them in comp., how to shoot them and most of all, what is the best way to compose them all together, with live action. In this case, green screen action, of people running, falling on floor and so on. We shoot the water, on location. Close to 30 km from Prague city, on Berounka river. There we have possibility to use gallons of water ( what you really need,.. ) gallons, gallons repeatedly ! All in scale model of course, on black. All shot on film. ( in that times )

Then in comp, we used these like elements, combine together with small 3d particles and with live action. Nice proper composition work 🙂
