SHARK WEEK Behind The Scenes: Legacy Effects

Building a Shark and a Seal From Scratch

The team at Legacy Effects create a practical Snuffy the Seal and scale puppet of a great white shark for The Discovery Channel's darkly funny Shark Week commercial. Ad Agency mOcean composited a real seal head onto our seal puppet and composited the miniature shark into the background plate shot.

Would like to see Legacy Effects create animatronic special effects if they will reboot The Future is Wild.
