A thematic constant at the end of every salmon life cycle, the waterfall is a metaphor for the indomitable forces that Jack finds himself against time and time again.

WATERFALL

This waterfall and the surrounding waves were made in 3D by utilizing a multiplane effect in front of the camera with differently colored blobs displaced into different directions. Each wave is made of multiple planes/blobs that all have essentially the same wave modifier offset by one or two frames to create the illusion of multiple tones of water moving as one. Different shades of blue and white layered on top of each other create the reflective vs shadow areas and all of the meshes are emitting their own color to mimic the look of flat shading.
