This was initially supposed to be an easy test. I wasn't even sure if the video would make it over 5 minutes! Lo and behold, it's not as simple as it seems. I'm so glad I decided to try this out cause those water caustics were bothering me for awhile! Hopefully our recreation of the Blade Runner water caustics helps you too!

In the film, they used a built in 'pool' above the set and then used four point-light sources - lit from a position higher than the pool surface - all aiming at downwards angles. The waveform pattern reveals the depth of the water.

I wonder what kind of look you'd get by recording some ripples in a studio (or have them made digitally) and then using an old DLP projector to project the desired effect onto a wall?
@kevinkapoor4301
@kevinkapoor4301 4 ай бұрын
I could see that working, but with something like a laser projector you'd still have addition illumination from where the shadow effect isn't. Sort of like a backlight on an LCD in a dark scene glowing. Might change the look of the effect. Also I'm a huge fan!

@WilliamHBaker 4 ай бұрын
Multiple people have mentioned the projector option! Someone sent me a video of it working pretty well, although slightly different approach without really clear ripples. Maybe I’ll approach the effect in the future and see if I can get a projector style effect working! Also, loved your realistic sunlight video! We’re considering making our own realistic sunlight setup!!

I found it so discouraging when I was starting out to see these crazy costly and advanced setups on KZbin and then trying to translate it to my budget. I want to try and keep things cost effective on my channel to encourage young filmmakers to experiment with what they have! Nothing is more frustrating to hear than “we shot this on a $10,000 cinema camera but you could use your phone”. I’m sure one day I’ll want to stretch myself and learn more with the bigger budgets and resources, but for now I’ll experiment!

You could use a large mirror to bounce the caustics to where you want. If you positioned the spot light under the tank on the floor with the tank three feet above it, then suspend a reflective surface (like a flat mylar sheet lol) at a 45 degree angle above the tank, you can project those caustics onto a wall without hauling the water super high. Awesome video!

Shooting a light into a point source into a satellite dish with foil on it will also make the light look even further away, which gives it a similar effect to the sun. Sorta like a parabolic reflector.

@WilliamHBaker
@WilliamHBaker 4 ай бұрын
I do want to create a similar setup to DIYperks with the parabolic reflector, but I don’t know the first thing about where to find a satellite dish. Additionally, doing it that way creates perfectly parallel light. Perfectly parallel means that the shadow of the water is small, and therefore small effect on the wall. The non-parallel nature of a light source really close to the tank is integral to scaling up the effect onto the wall.

They may be hard to come by now but the old classroom Elmo projectors teachers used pre internet for showing notes can be adapted for this if you use a smaller light source as you have found. They can focus the effect and are what they used for the psychedelic colored oil backgrounds during concerts. Used to find them at resale shops dirt cheap. Brings me back to diy & film School days.

My suggestion would be to recreate older movies where practical effects were the norm. Think 90s nostalgic films like Independence Day, Dante's Peak and Stargate, or classics like 1974's Earthquake or the iconic 1956 The Ten Commandments etc.

Nice effect...years ago i built something like this in my house but i just used a large open fish tank set below a southern window the same refractions are produced at the reflected angle...so mine are always on the ceiling like in a cave that has sunlight bouncing off water in the entrance. Good job isolating the approach though without needing a whole pool to do it. Your shots of the same effect in other scenarios (outside) where super as they appear more like an individual power rather than an ambient caustic effect. Thanks for sharing.

Film production has much larger budgets, so they could do practical effects and actually build it out. Your tests were great. I did something similar in college -- took a clear pyrex baking pan similar to your aquarium, shined a light from beneath using a blue filter, and a portable fan to create ripple above the water. Took a felt sheet with a hole cut out as a backdrop, and ta-dah, lit a "submarine" scene.

I used to have a lamp that was made to create the effect and it worked great. It's kinda like a lava lamp but instead of wax it had dozens of little mirrors and a tiny pump in the bottom that made a water jet that agitated the water and made the mirrors whirl around and reflect the light from the base. It was awesome and I designed my room around the effect, painting the walls blue and hanging fish decorations from the ceiling

Word is, they shot with 10k Fresnel lamps, 2 per side, 8 in total. The water rig was indeed up high and Billy O'Leary, the Gaff, made special barn doors to flag the light into symmetry. The bottom of the water tank was black! The ripple pattern was induced by sound, not a fan.

A swimming pool with lights makes the same affect on the ceiling and walls. In the movie it's basically an upside down pool acting as a window through a solid ceiling. Your experiments did not have a wall to block the excess light and funnel the remaining light through the bottom of the fish tank. A delicate thin glass dish sitting on a black box that has a light inside will give off the desired affect (changes a little with glass thickness and water depth).

The thing about LED based point soures is, that they‘re still using a rather large „light emitting Surface“. This is because those lights use a „cob led array“. The best type of lightsource for this is probably a HMI, because they have a verry tiny lightsource. Speaking of expensive gear: a movinglight with a rotating gobo wheel, a water glass gobo and a continus Animation wheel should do the trick very well.

There is another way that produces really clear pattern by focusing them - it is to use both reflective surface and put water on it. The easiest way is to get a plastic tub and glue a reflective film on it or at least paint it white. The water is also needs to be disturbed constantly with a mixer or some kind of mechanical oscillator.

About the fish tank rigging: when I put heavy(ish) lights on booms, I always add counter weight on the opposite side. I've had 4foot kino flo 4banks above talent's heads, as well as small HMI's and 1ks with soft box (yes, I'm old). I've never had an accident with them. I think having an arm on each side was a great choice, but it could be a little safer still. Great video, BTW, I think I'll give this a try soon.

The light source absolutely is an indication of the inverse square which is awesome to keep in mind. With the mylar, what if you put purposeful folds in the mylar? I purchased a 2 pack of those heat blankets for under $3. With the given folds that they had when packaged, I tested further with crumbling one and leaving the other with the given folds. From what I found, the intentional folds gave a much clearer look compared to the hail Mary crumbling I done with the 2nd blanket. This was awesome to watch and to test myself. Can't wait to see more!

Black plastic hood at whatever the best height is for the LED. Small heatsink and fan for cooling.
