Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)[edit]
ILM was the lead VFX vendor and worked
on creating Atlantis and all its CG animals,
the Karathen and the final battle of the film.
Jeff White served as the VFX supervisor
for ILM on Aquaman.For the underwater
sequences the actors were shot dry for wet
on special tuning fork rigs designed by the
FX team and later the bodies of the actors
were replaced with digital doubles in post
production.For creating Atlantis the team
relied on the designs provided by the art
department.ILM’s environment team
created over 200 buildings, including the
signature jellyfish buildings and laid over
7000 buildings in districts covering almost
600 sq miles for the action to travel
through.The underwater ships were
modeled off organic creatures and
designed to move that way. For the
entrance to Atlantis sequence the team
built over 150,000 ships to fill the traffic
lanes leading into Atlantis . All the animals
including the Karathen were built by ILM
and animated using keyframe animation.
Approximately 700 shots in the film
required high detail hair simulaions. ILM
had to significantly improve their hair
simulation software due to the unique
aspects of hair flowing underwater.
