SFX The Day After Tomorrow

This scene is from the movie The Day After Tomorrow. It is when the NY city gets flooded by the ocean.

The special effects(SFX) in this scene are great. I think that to get these effects they used computer generated images like for the lighting at the start and for the waves up close. They also probably used a small miniature model of the city and had water to show the flood from above at the time 1m 16s to 1:21. For the Rain they probably used rain heads and wind machines. They also may have shot the scene in water with SFX throw in and used waterproof equipment. Most of the sounds were most likely done at the sound studio.

I was impressed by the special effects of this scene because of how real it looks and the sounds are great too, even though these type of movies you can tell are fake.

Avatar DoppleMe

This is my doppleMe avatar, this website was very easy to use and has all the things you need. It was easy because it had all the things labeled like hats,tops,etc. One thing I didn't like about it was that it a little hard to understand some things. One thing I think that they could improve is give it more variety.

How to make lots of CR if your a non Gold member

first you have to beat the Campaign then you go to the mission lone wolf. Next set some skulls that you want on then the difficulty. In this mission you are suppose to die but if you fight them then you won't get capped on CR. I made 654 CR by doing that for about 7 minutes.

Raft Story

City Escape

Anderson get up here we’re moving out! Yelled Sgt. Hanley.

Got it! I replied.

We navigated thought the battle field looking for any signs of useful Intel, that’s when we heard it.

The air raid sirens started going off people were scrambling and running for cover everywhere, so I ran for cover too. I didn’t dare look back. The raids came down, yet it felt like forever before they hit the ground by then I had entered a solid looking house and was on my way to the cellar I looked back and saw the bombs about four meters from the houses. I dove into the cellar and that’s when my vision went black.

When I woke up I saw the hard cold cement ground, and tasted a bit of blood. I tried to stand but fell back in pain, thank god I said to myself, for I had only badly sprained my foot, I tried to get up again after I had some time to regain me strength.

I went back upstairs and outside, sergeant ! I yelled in a dry voice.

Anderson, that you? Said Hanley.

Ya I replied, where is the rest of the squad? I asked.

I don’t know, Probably dead! Hanley said back.

They’d be lucky to be alive. I pointed out

That’s what you think now is it said Hanley

Yes that’s what I think

Yes, that’s what I thinking I said can you tell me where you are?

I’m behind you said Hanley

Oh! I said as I spun around lets go look for survivors



We rounded up about 12 survivors when the Nazis came, we ran to our helicopter, that had come for us.

The Nazis chased us all the way, we’re almost there I thought just keep going!

We made it!

Off we go, away from that city of death

I’m so glad we made it, I said out loud.

Definitely, said Hanley as we flew away.
