looking up through water
A friend of mine made a short film, but due to the budget and the availability of his actor, he was unable to get a shot he wanted. The shot in question is an underwater point of view shot of someone looking up through the water at another person standing on the edge of a dock. He has the low angle shot, just not underwater. I tried using psunami (its been years since I touched it) but I haven’t been able to get anything remotely realistic. It looks like someone projecting colored streaks over the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

displacement maps will be your friend 🙂

Hi, should I precomp a psunami layer and use that as a displacement map adjustment layer over my footage, or should I make a displacement map for the psunami layer?

Yeah Precomp the psunami, and use that as displacement for your vid layer.
try different modes for the psunami over the video,
I usually make a duplicate of displacements and time shift or scale them
for the different effects to get a little more “realism” in how the layers play together.I would use the “blur effect that references layers”
(can’t look rendering 🙂
to add a little more “stuff” to the effect,
and definitely color correction, etc.good luck!

Thank you very much for your help. The psunami displacement layers did the trick. 🙂
