Liquid Tests in After Effects
I’m working on a way to get the half under water, half above water look in After Effects. This is a pretty cartoony attempt using a lot of animated masks and distorted layers. If I can’t do it this way, I may have to either build it in 3D with RealFlow or go out and get a used aquarium and set up an analog shot… I’m kinda hoping for the latter.

The latter sounds way more fun and interesting – sometimes old school is the new school – besides that gives you permission to do some hair-raising adventure lashing an aquarium to your kayak and paddling out to sea.
