The Impossible 2012 Tsunami Disaster Movie Wave Special Effects Consultants - Edinburgh Designs Ltd

Edinburgh Designs were brought in to advise and design the wave for the 2012 movie, The Impossible.

The film required small scale narrow tank testing, section testing and the full scale testing, before the model holiday resort was built. The Resort was destroyed successfully and provided the centerpiece for the movie.

Naomi deserved an Oscar for her performance.

I've just seen the movie for the first time. The tsunami scene is clearly one of the most impressive special effect I've seen, ever. It looked incredibly realistic, much more than any full CG thing that take you out of a movie. Congrats you did such a great job ❤!!

Wow, you made an actual tsunami! I like how it reflected off the far wall same as the natural-caused waves.

Чем меньше компьютерной графики - тем лучше кино!! Молодцы, что делали почти всё натурально!)

1:00 looks like a scene in an actual movie lol😂

I think we can all agree that death and destruction is fun.

Trying for the realistic tsunami (monstrous tidal surge/flash flood from the sea) rather than
the giant cresting wave we usually see, I guess.  As the footage of the 2001 Banda Aceh
event and that which followed the 2011 Fukushima quake in Japan shows, the effect is
more like a flash flood than a crashing wave.

Could you imagine how much water had to be used.

[ARieLvsCutTaRi]

this is waste of money...
just wait until the real tsunami happen and role it.
it would be cheap and realistic

[luigimiguel]

what id' give to have my boogie board

[circonflexechess]

Problem is :
this is not realist, AT ALL.
A tsunami, a real one, is slow.... It is faster than tides (which are very long waves), but not much. The problem of a tsunami is not the power and the speed of water, but simply that water goes up and ... keep going up for dozen of minutes ...
