The Spring Hill baths are transformed by remodelling the architecture with a CGI diving board and matte painted backgrounds. Using the Phantom Flex, Red Epic and Canon 7D, the VFX team replicated in camera light flares and distortion that epitomized the airy, magical feel of Christmas and a bubble sequence that breaks up the glistening water. With only 15 baubles shot in camera, the VFX team covered the pool in illuminated glass replicas that float through the air and fill with gifts.
