The Shape of Water Breakdown


Here it is!  The breakdown for our vfx work on The Shape of Water.  A few of my shots made it into this reel.  I mostly worked on the creature: his face and back dorsal fin.  My nickname was the Blink Queen because of the amount of "blink shots" I lit.  Here are the ones I did that made it into this reel:

0:58  His beautiful eyes and nictating membrane. The first vfx shot completed for the film.
1:15  One of the longest shots ever, they only show the first bit here.  It was the upper face in this segment but when he eats the egg it's a full face replace so we could lower the jaw to make the cg egg replace fit. 
1:26  Upper face replace with blink
1:31  Upper face replace with blink. 
1:34  Continuation
2:30  Upper face replace with blink that got cut into two shots in the final film. 
4:40  His face with animated caustics to imitate the on set projection and blend between them.
