HAMMERHEAD was asked to help out on the last happy part of Titanic. The scene is where the ship finally leaves port and Leonardo DiCaprio watches a pod of dolphins play off the bow at sunset. Computer generated dolphins were added to footage of live dolphins (Pacific White Sided... sorry for the gaff). Realistic water distortions were added to enhance the realism as well as the subtleties of their flocking and swimming behavior. On a particularly tough shot... Jim Cameron kept looking at it and saying it looked fake. It turned out he was talking about the miniature ship (the star of the film after all) and not our dolphins... Whew!
