It does make no sense to ask about this when also posting as Finished Project:
..but when you think this wooden grille can hold back water (and i’m not even talking of the amount needed for some container ship ) but also those “tight fit” for the canal borders.. And if you do “animate” this and animated water might be too much for your computer you should at least do no use some “wavy water surface”.. and for “telling as tory” : What is this structure under water ?? Also: “improvement”.. compared to what ?
You may have to elaborate this to get a more suited answer.
This said: the general camera work is quit interesting.
