Underwater Test for Opening/Closing

Having an opening shot that establishes the themes of the film needs to be soft and precise. This test has been created without any plug-ins for After Effects and has had a surprisingly realistic outcome. I didn't want to subject this film to too much computer animation, however I think this proves to be effective and thus will only become the background for Helena as she floats around underwater in stop motion. I'm pleased this has had a successful cinematic result, due to the upcoming National Film Theatre screening and film festival projections.
