1. Introduction
a. Introduce
how films today use special effects in animation and live-action films.
b. Thesis:
In the films Twister and The Wizard of Oz, tornados are created using special
visual effects to make the audience feel like there is an actual real life
tornado in the shot.
2. Twister
a. In the film “Twister” Bill and Jo Harding, advanced
storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced
weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely
violent tornadoes.
b. ILM creates tornados in this
film using a marriage of CG animation and compositing.
c. Color levels are all consistent
and the match-movie work is extraordinary.
3. The
Wizard of Oz
a. In “The Wizard of Oz” Dorothy Gale is swept away to
a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can
help her return home.
b. The tornado is a thirty-five
foot long muslin sock, inspired by those wind socks they have (or had) at
airports.
c. Cloth with wind and
dirt thrown on to it.
d. This film was made in 1938,
so special effects were nothing like they are today. It’s incredibly well done
for it’s time.
4. Conclusion
a. Without
using these amazing special effects the film would not have the same impact on
its audience.
b. These
special effects in these films were very successful in their time and created believable
tornados.
