Wizard of Oz Tornado Full version - Touch down at

The Tornado does not actually touch down until around 4:30 (feel free to skip ahead).
This is the full version of my Wizard of Oz Tornado scene. The storm builds gradually - slow moving sepia clouds, gently moving trees and the sound of the wind. Moving clouds darken at 1:30 .
The scene plays on, with just a black screen - from 5:20... and wind etc. I created this video for the Ōtūmoetai Intermediate School production of the Wizard of Oz.
Shorter version, starting with the tornado touching down - here • The Wizard of Oz Torn...
I have created 720 and 1080 versions - Flick me a message, if you would like to use this for your school or non-commercial production. See credits for at 7 minutes for acknowledgements.

I really like the great footage of this twister

[@billwilliam836]

I'm here in 2024 and the best tornado ever for the wizard of oz my all time favourite movie

[@gracemcgurran3054]

Hi there. This footage is excellent and would be absolutely perfect for our primary school projection of the Wizard Of Oz we are doing here in Kent, UK. Please let us know how we could get this footage from you, we would really love to use it. Many thanks.

[@mycoolstoodley]

Hope the footage works out for your production. Good luck. 🌞

Nice tornado sequence 🌪🏠

Man at the beginning you know a tornado will come. So pack up fast and leave

[@mycoolstoodley]

If you have to perform the Wizard of Oz musical on stage, unfortunately... you have to stay. The show must go on!

Cool how the tornado siren starts before the twister forms.

[@mycoolstoodley]

Early warning system, it involves a complex mix advanced analytics and crystal balls.

[@Frankyisgone]

Did you use after effects for the tornado at 4:30/4:31 ?

[@mycoolstoodley]

Yeah AE, it was for a school stage production, hence the time it takes for the tornado to arrive. Initially hard to look at now, but 9 years ago there weren't a lot of tutorials on how to do this, so I worked with what I had. A massive sky image was create in photoshop and then animated in AE. The tornado is basically shaded spheres in a particle sim, motion blurs and some physics, and a whole lot of experimenting. I didn't have access the flash 3rd party particle plugins, so was what ever was baked into AE. I still love the close up. especially on a big wall sized screen and with kids acting in front of it and spinning house on wheels in front. - Sorry for the late reply.

Hi there, I'm part of a local amateur dramatics group in the UK and we are doing The Wizard of Oz in March, you mention that you are happy for the footage to be used, could you please let me know how we can get this footage from you as it excellent and just what we are after to use for projection on to the stage for the tornado scene. Thanks in advance

If someone brightens their screen at 4:44, you will notice that the tornado is literally detached from the sky.

[@mycoolstoodley]

While I accept that a vortex must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base to be classified as a tornado, turning up the brightness at 4:44 in breach of the scientific method.

[@jamesholton2630]

The tornado gets really fat when it gets close to the camera. It was thin when it spawned. When it was getting closer, it started getting from thin to fat

[@mycoolstoodley]

Thanks for the feedback James, I'll try to do better next time. The tornado was initially a long way away, and did get much closer. To be honest I wasn't too worried about the science, it was just a lot of fun learning how to create this in After Effects. There is a bit of math and physics going on, no stock footage.

The tornado is literally detached from the clouds at 4:44

You would too if you were being created on a PC with 8GB RAM and integrated video card. 🤣

They didn’t have tornado sirens back then

[@dannybex]

That's all great, but where's the tornado? Sheesh...

[@mycoolstoodley]

Sorry you missed it, the video was part of the backdrop of a Wizard of Oz performance, it does arrive around 4:30.

nah bro what da hell 💀

[@jpfinch1]

How can I get this video to use for our high school production?

[@mycoolstoodley]

Hey... sorry for the delay. bit.ly/Wiznado please add a credit if you can. Edit as you need. Good luck. I f you do end up using and it gets filmed, I'd love to see how it was used. Cheers

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

i laughed so hard it hurt😂

[@mycoolstoodley]

Fake tornados are no laughing matter.
