These are some test shots of the underwater close up scene, capturing the moment that the turtle notices something in the corner of his eye – an oil spill slowly taking over the ocean and soon makes its way to consume the turtle.
I had experimented with using various materials to use for the “oil spill”; I had originally thought to use a black bin bag however opted for using a plain black scarf. The scarf seemed to work better as it fit in well with the fabric and soft aesthetics of the film. However, in the end I had decided to just digitally in TV Paint create the oil spill there using the textured brushes.
