This was a great project from KROW to work on. I loved the idea of the same person having a fight with themselves, however the real challenge for me was getting someone to slip and fall convincingly into the canal. We ruled out using a stunt double as it was going to be too expensive, so we hired a fully articulated dummy (I think he was called Rescue Randy), it's the type that the 999 emergency services use to train their personnel on. We dropped Randy into the canal and enhanced it using the CGI skills at Coffee and TV post-production dept so it looked like our actor Wilson.
