HOW TO SHOOT LIQUIDS

Hi,

As the title says i need help for resolving a liquid shoot. It is a commercial of some kind of gasified juice. Many jets of juice falls into a botle. The shoot has to be taken as its from the interior of the bottle. It should have a water explosion and then many "water fruits" falls into the liquid making a splash that desintegrates it.
The Director wants to shoot the commercial an i m going to make the post.
I don t have experience shooting or supervising liquids shoots. I don t know if we have to shoot transparent or colored liquid and what and i realy realy don t know how to resolve de "water fruits" without making it in a 3D software application.

any help or advice or tip is highly appreciated

thanks

best
