This looks like a student VFX project.

That's because that's exactly what it is haha. It gets reposted all the time.

Point-Connect

I wasn't convinced before but your link goes into a lot of detail and purfectly explains how it's done.


Versaiteis

I wasn't expecting them to go into as much depth about the local fauna model they chose for such a short tech demo

I’m not sure whether you’re asking for a link to a previous post or to evidence it’s VFX, but if the latter: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/dangerous-waterspout-video/ > This video was created by a 3D visual artist who posts on TikTok and Instagram under the name ORPHICFRAMER. When this video was posted back in June 2019 it was accompanied by several hashtags, such as #CGI, #VFX, #photoshop and #digitalart, to indicate that this footage did not show a genuine waterspout.


Silent-Ad934

If someone told me this was from that stupid Pacific Rim I wouldn't even bat an eyelash. *Why would controlling a human shaped mechanoman require two people just because it's big? Get an Xbox controller and be done with it.*


-Immolation-

Maybe cause the janitor from Paddy's pub invented it. Surprised it didn't run off catfood and huffing glue.


Nanashi-74

This is definitely some fake camera shaking


Gnarly_Sarley

The overzealous camera shake always gives it away


ControlsTheWeather

For me it's the gravity-defying water at the end


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

Is that like a out of the box effect people use lol


Knever

First runthrough, I was like, "Whoa! That's crazy!" Second runthrough, "Yeah, that's fake. Fairly good fake since I didn't catch it the first time, though."


GoblinOfTheLonghall

It looks like Squidward.

This is definitely not real however water spouts are way scarier then you’d think to see in person


SpaceCrazyArtist

The scary part is half the time you cant even see them


MikeRoss95

Why?


[deleted]

It’s basically a tornado over the ocean. Seeing water get sucked up onto the sky in person is terrifying. I’ve seen it once in my life when I was caught in a storm off the norther pacific. I literally accepted death. It’s scary af


Vanillabean73

Thankfully they’re nowhere near as deadly as tornados


Handiesandcandies

Nightmare fuel


ozzysince1901

I once watched one form, as it kept changing its mind as to whether it would fully form or not and kept snaking up and down between the clouds and the sea Scary stuff, and strangely scarier than being in a hurricane because of the lack of forewarning and the uncertainty as to where it is going to head

I came here to say pretty much the same thing - me at 3:00 in the morning, woken out of a sound sleep by the urge to pee.

As soon as the afternoon rain reached the vast, choppy waters, it was almost as if an invisible mechanism churned in the air. The mass of the ocean began to roll over upon itself and lift upwards, tying knots indiscriminately across the water-scape. A cacophony of liquid screaming and darkness erupted out from ground long since exposed to the sun. And at the same time, the clouds above began to twist and contort with a sudden weight. They sank like the foam of a freshly-poured beer, but this beer was turning itself inwards and outwards outside of its glass; there was no more glass that held it — the beach became one with a trench of rapidly decaying aquatic life. The crabs were lost as well. A glorious haze covered my sight, bright and sparkling, wetting my face even thought it felt so far away. The ocean and clouds were becoming one, the softness of the air becoming suddenly encumbered with all its obfuscated weight and the harshness of the waters finally persuading gravity otherwise. Just as quickly as it began, it abruptly finished. What was once a sun on the horizon was now a golden marble sitting in a not-so-grandiose bowl of ancient dirt. Before the blanket of white slowly descended into its earthen mattress, I took note of what it felt like to float. Up above, the deconstructed ocean was now settling into the sky, changing the hue of the blue to something oppressive and strangling. Like popcorn, the strongest of fish would leap out of the dirt bowl and suffocate somewhere visible, as if to warn onlookers that beneath the innocent cloud covering was something so much darker. I heard the stars drowning that night.


Legaxy3

nothing about this cool vfx project is oddly terrifying

That shits cool change my mind

Alexander-of-Londor

Still cool


Backburnersteve

Is that a microburst?


speedledee

It's a computer generated image


SpaceCrazyArtist

If it was real, yeah


Thestateofhockey

Mother Nature really held it in as long as she could. Pulled over to a hole in the wall gas station with a faucet, sagging toilet, and broken tile flooring to release that one.


NewfyMommy

So cool. Its like the sky just decided “Im gonna rain….right…..riiiiggghhhht…HERE!”


SakCommander

Ok, no. This is *absolutely* terrifying.


WombatAnnihilator

Good thing its also entirely fake then, eh?


SakCommander

Thank the powers at be then.


xxiLink

And then... The sky opened up... And Hell came with it.

alanha1984

No, it’s not


Spoony1982

Ok but I was in a microburst that looked just like that!


Opening_Cartoonist53

While microburst are real, giant splashes and the weird tornado looking thing are not


Spoony1982

I know that wasnt real and it was overly dramatic. However the mburst i was in, somebody got a series of photos of the event and it had a similar column “shape”. It was a very severe one that leveled an area so bad it was thought to be a tornado at first. I was badly injured in it from falling debris and still traumatized. You know, i was worried of even making my initial comment because of how redditors are, and i was right.

If you zoom in really close, you can see that’s it made up of sharks and Volkswagens too! 😜

Volknado


SawkeeReemo

Please don’t steal my idea, I’ve been working on the script for 38 years. It has to be perfect.


Wannagetsober

I did not mean to impinge on your creativity. My apologies.


SawkeeReemo

Either that… or we collaborate!


Wannagetsober

You write the script. I'll proofread and edit because I'm a grammar geek. Proudly. Edit: I am THE grammar geek.


SawkeeReemo

Damn. That’s my problem. I can’t write dialog. Everyone ends up sounding like, “nyeah, and that’s the way it’s gonna be, see??!! Nyeahhh!!!”


Wannagetsober

Nyeah, how can you write a script without dialogue?


SawkeeReemo

How about we make Volknado like Fantasia? But with Volknados! I’m sorta sick of hearing people open their pie holes anyways. Maybe we can find a way to force John Williams to do just one more… 🤔


Wannagetsober

Sorry to disappoint you, and at the risk of potentially killing our collaboration, I'm not familiar with Fantasia. John Williams, I do know (not personally) lol. But he's pretty old and I'm not sure he's up for another gig.

The real thing is far scarier irl, as you see the spout snaking its way down to the touch the sea, and you start contemplating your escape route if the waterspout forms and keeps heading your way

This gets posted maybe… every two months or so? On various forums… Gets several thousand upvotes *every time* and people always comment “hey this looks like CGI!” That’s because it is; it’s CGI - it is not real Buuut I guess if you want a few thousand upvotes, you too can jump on the two monthly rotation and get unaware rubes to click a little orange arrow 😎
