PRODUCTION NOTES
Here are some notes from out scouting
-
Tank is rather small and the average height is around 3 meters from the bottom of the tank to the water's surface
-
When filming inside the tank, black or blue cloth can be used to cover the outside windows and walkways, to use for creating a seamless underwater background plate
-
The management prefers us to work after 5pm (closing hours), not on weekends (Wednesday is preferred).
-
October is their peak season, so we have to book our schedule with them at an opportune time.
-
We can coordinate feeding time with the aquarium in a way that we may control the movement of the fishes in response to their feeding pattern.
-
There is a good working space outside the aquarium, from the surface of the water, but any equipment, rigging requirements needs to be further assessed.
Access area above the water tanks, and how the look from below from the tunnel.
