covers Siggraph 2007 Electronic Theater

| "The
Electronic Theater also presents a watershed year for fluid simulation
in feature films. Scanline's 300's Liquid Battlefield, Sony Pictures
Animation's Surf's Up, and Digital Domain and Industrial Light and
Magic's Pirates of the Caribbean all feature uniquely executed but
beautifully believable digital oceans and waves," added Debevec."

| What
Visual Effects Spervisor, Chris Watts has to say "We teamed up with
Scanline of Germany, which did some water work on Poseidon. They got
it. We showed them the frame from the book and if you compare the frame
from the book to the frame from the movie, it's just amazing how they
did it. Not only did they make completely convincing water and ships,
but they also went through the trouble to make all this secondary
animation of Persians falling off masts and smashing on rocks.

CG
TALK: 300 Art Director Grant Freckleton
| |
| "...
the boat FX? Full credit to Scanline in Germany. Those guys are CG
fluid genuises.
The bulk of the time of those shots were spent tweaking the comping end
of things, because their CG water looked pretty
much perfect from very early on.
Again, refer to Cinefex for more in depth technical details."
