   Criss Angel's water walking
  Tonight's episode of Mindfreak had Criss Angel walking across a swimming pool with people swimming under and around him as we walked.Any ideas on exactly how this was done? I could easily dismiss it as mere camera tricks, but I'd like to think of another possibility. Just dismissing it outright is no fun.Before people swam directly under him, I was thinking it was a clear plastic or glass platform.   
  There still could be plastic just under the surface that he's walking on. Mind you, to disprove this, a person will have to swim directly under him and then stick their head up between his feet.   ;  It didn't seem like anything could have created a path for him in the water.  The camera man was directly in front of him which seems like it would break any sort of surface he could have under there.   ;  I don't know what you're talking about, but there's a number of ways:- Good ole' compositing.- A simple transparent bridge- Two-pass using a motion-track camera, first phase the character walking above water (using bridge), the second phase would be the swimmers.There's a ton of possibilities, but I can't really comment further without seeing it.   ;  ... either that or he is possessed.   ;  I dont believe he uses camera tricks.  I think he has simply taken stage magic to a new level.In fact, I know how he does a levitation trick, and it is not camera or wires.  And no I will not say how.   ;  Or wirework?   ;  Oh, wait.. this is a magician show?..Scrap everything I said...Maybe.   ;  He used super Jesus powers.  It was like in Being There, where Peter Sellers walked on water at the end, and stuck his umbralla into it to show that it was really deep, and then he kept walking on it, and...Two possibilities:1) Camera trick - Audience amazement is not longer a viable indicator of validity, since what's-his-face started hiring actors to gush about how they don't believe his amazing street magician wiles while they slide the green boards back into place behind him.2) He was walking on "not-water" - something other than water, like plastic, glass or diamond, was actually under his feet, and his weight was being supported by that.   ;Quote:Original post by SalsaI don't know what you're talking about, but there's a number of ways:- Good ole' compositing.- A simple transparent bridge- Two-pass using a motion-track camera, first phase the character walking above water (using bridge), the second phase would be the swimmers.There's a ton of possibilities, but I can't really comment further without seeing it.">The Water WalkSomeone posted it on Youtube. Now those who haven't seen it can speculate also
