Disney’s “Young Woman and the Sea,” the extraordinary true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel, is now streaming on Disney+

The movie contains noteworthy water simulations by MPC. Calm water plates were enhanced with digital ocean replacements in key places. This required complex, multi-layered FX simulations to try and capture the natural movement and texture of the choppy waters in the Channel.

In addition, for a dangerous swim through hundreds of jellyfish, MPC integrated the CG creatures into live-action plates for precise compositing and animation.
