Ultimatte Transforms Visual Effects for Shark Attack 360

PostTue Oct 15, 2024 2:31 pm

“Shark Attack 360” dives into the factual landscape of shark behavior, investigating why sharks bite humans. The 8x60 docuseries for Disney+ was released as part of National Geographic’s SHARKFEST, using evidence, personal encounters and state of the art visual effects (VFX) to explore what leads to shark attacks.

London based production company Arrow Media relied on VFX studio Little Shadow for 3D VFX and graphics. This included bringing to life the virtual interactive sharks and a 360 shark lab used to demonstrate the sharks’ movement and anatomy.

Finding the ideal filming location was crucial for upscaling the imagery for season two. “We found Collins’ Music Hall in Islington, an incredible underground theatre that was never finished. It was the perfect space for building the virtual 360 shark lab using live action footage and computer generated imagery (CGI),” begins Little Shadow director Simon Percy.
