VFX and animation by Bandito

​

The team at Bandito created a fully CGI shark and comped it into live action footage of Phelps as he swam in the cold waters of the South Atlantic and some back up plates shot in a swimming pool. The stunt was broadcast as part of Shark Week and attracted a lot of media attention, with articles featured in the Washington Post, NY Times, The Guardian and The Hollywood Reporter.
