An Artificial Tsunami in a Film

This behind the scene image is from the film The Impossible (2012). It is based on the experience of María Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Here in this model resort, the bungalows and surrounding buildings were crafted at 1:3 scale by Magicon GmbH in Munich under supervision by Henrik Scheib. Only three and a half bungalows were built and then duplicated in compositing. The film makers didn't use techniques to generate a tsunami, because the cost is very expensive. So they used real water for this purpose. The higher the capacity pumps are used to pump water into the studio with a speed of 3,000 liters / second. That is how they create tsunami for the film.
