The Tree of Life
Terrence Malick
Chris Parks shot the in-camera fluid effects for The Tree of Life (2011, directed by Terrence Malick).
In the 1980's, when Terrence was in the early stages of planning his epic film, he approached Peter Parks to shoot some marine imagery. 30 years later once principal photography was under way he got in contact with Chris to shoot some abstract imagery for the 'Life before birth' and 'Universe before the big bang' sequences.
The mastermind behind what has been much touted as the 2001-esque sequence in Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life.
We commissioned them to shoot some material for us that was more apt for the microbial realm. It was very subtly augmented.
