| Description: | Same as catalog #312651 Color footage of tornadoes--scratchy & dirty, but interesting and exciting. Scratchy, grainy footage of clouds forming abstract ghostly shapes before becoming a tornado. Dark gray heavy clouds look like smoke, against orange sky - unearthly. MS blue/gray sky as tornado forms. Funnel drops and retreats, camera zooms in to catch good shots of debris flying around. Pulls out again to wide shot - more debris. Snake like funnel drops to ground again and then retreats. POV from moving car driving on highway. Flat wide landscape, sunny sky with tornado. POV from car at side of road. Tornado starts vaguely cylindrical and becomes a more distinct funnel. Retreats and hangs in the air over wide open field. Strange, eerie light. Cuts to out of focus zoomed in shot of tornado in same area. Pulls out for better view. VS of this tornado over the big field, dust/debris clouds stirred up. | |
