Garmin Salmon

We finally finished the CG salmon job I supervised, shot on location in Hazyview and finished at BlackGinger. A great learning experience in dealing with underwater shoots and creating CG fish. Luckily we had a good portion R&D'd from Free Willy but there were still tricky bits we overlooked and discovered on our way.
