I. Intro: For this paper, I would like to analyze two different approaches in film to creating realistic looking tsunami waves. Both the films "The Impossible," and "The Wave" feature massive, destructive waves that are so large that special effects animation must be used in order to capture a sense of realism.
II. Body:
a. The film "The Impossible" is a combination of live action Tsunami simulations combined with CGI special effects to make a realistic looking Tsunami. The Usage of special effects is pulled off well because it meshes well with the live action and the film clearly had a high budget.
b. The film "The Wave," pulled off the effect of creating a Tsunami with less of a realistic feel to it. The wave was clearly animated entirely in 3D and therefore just doesn't quite look right. It simply looks like it wasn't fully rendered realistically, and the movement of the wave also feels unnatural.
III. Conclusion: Both films display a similar 3D approach to creating a Tsunami, however "The Impossible" works significantly better because of the combination of real life scenes meshed with the CGI in the background/ not in the focal point.
