Dfilm was involved with, among other shots, the Liquid mirror scene within the Lafayette
sequence, where a mirror envelopes Keanu Reeves' character Neo. This involved a large
degree of liquid interaction with talent elements, always a challenge in the digital realm.
Dfilm's CGI specialists carried out numerous live action liquid dynamic tests utilising
liquids of varying viscosity and quality to establish a look and flow for the mirror substance
before settling on a substance which was emulated by their CGI animation team.
Numerous live action and stills elements were then used to create a virtual 3D set this was
then reflection- mapped into the final CG animation.
