Baseblack completed 85 shots on One Life. There were a lot of story telling tricks behind the scenes, Condensing 10,000 hours of footage into a family movie, the filmakers ocasionaly asked for a bit of help from Visual effects.  On the whole most our work was to restore and revitalize material that was shot an the wide range of stills and ultra high speed cameras needed to capture these amazing images. Like our work on the earlier Earth, we had to make these images step up from TV to the big screen.
