There were only three shots of the freediver that were CGI. All the rest is 100% real. He swam behind the whale in the end, not inside it. The source is mentioned on the original video's youtube credits. The very last freediver is the only diving shot that was filmed specifically for this video. The museum and the specimen, books etc. are real priceless historical artifacts - including the actual Darwin's finches gathered on the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. All of those were shot at the Tring museum of natural history. Obviously, a lot of it was further enhanced with CGI.
Its true that Nightwish are not touring at all for this album. We're all bummed about it, but i think everyone was exhausted after the last tour after it got held up again and again due to the pandemic and they were on the road solidly until June/July last year, during which time Floor was also getting treated for cancer, and going through her pregnancy - they earned a break I think! The footage of the diver is taken from a short film called 'one breath around the world' and the diver is a French guy called Guillaume Nery....its a beautiful 12 minute clip which is on youtube and is actually pretty cool :)
Bo they not gonna touring some big time,I saw them last summer and was my dream come true, those album gonna be perfect and this is another masterpiece
