Tornado - Research


Since I'm doing a tornado, there's no point basing it on other people's work etc.
I thought it's best to actually watch some videos of tornadoes.
So I spent a while on that. I watched lots and lots, but here's a few most interesting ones. 

I think my favourite bit of this video was around 3:55 it's just... breathtaking.
and then around 4:20 because you can see properly how it moves and the whole structure of it.
Then at 5:11 when it's really dark, looks amazing, the size and colour make it look really dangerous. It doesn't look like a fluffy cloud anymore. And when they zoom out at 5:29 you can see the whole thing... It just looks beautiful.
The more I watched them i realized that the huge ones don't seem to be spinning that fast, it actually looks quite slow. I think it's similar to a plane going across the sky, it looks to be moving really slow but actually it's quite the opposite. 


I like this video because in the beginning you actually see the cloud movement. Because it's got a nice contrast, it helps me to understand the movement a little better. Will therefore be very helpful when creating a tornado of my own.
It smashed right through the window and you can see how the bits cuts this guys face! And that was only at the beginning of the whole thing, you can only imagine the power of it when it fully develops.

On this video you can see how its colour varies depends on what ground it's on. A really important point because it'll look out of place if it's not the right colour. I also like the shape of it. 

This video is amazing, the timelapse at the beginning you can see the beautiful sky, this is definitely what I want my sky to look like! 
And again at 0:57 it looks unreal! 

The only thing is that they all come in different shapes and sizes and I think I'm going to go for the traditional look, so it's not confusing to what it is. And when it comes to size I'll just make sure it suits the footage but still communicates the strength of it and looks believable when it starts ripping into buildings.
