- The second episode of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” centers on an epic storm in the Sundering Seas. Pulling it off involved a method that has become Hollywood’s go-to approach for creating storms at sea: filming the sequence in a giant water tank.
Outdoor water tanks have become a staple of productions big and small seeking to recreate scenes of violent ocean storms - from Kumeu Studios in New Zealand, where “Rings of Power” filmed its storm, to Pinewood’s horizon water tank in the Dominican Republic, where films like “The Lost City” (2022) and “Old” (2021) have shot aquatic scenes. Tanks allow filmmakers to exercise exacting control over the conditions of a seemingly chaotic scene, whether a tempest like that in “The Rings of Power” or a tidal wave like that in “The Impossible” (2012).
Helming the storm in “Rings of Power” were J.A. Bayona and Óscar Faura, the director and cinematographer who previously recreated the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami for “The Impossible” at Ciudad de la Luz Studios’ massive seaside tank in Spain. The director-DP duo joined a team of expert storm-makers that included special effects supervisor Dean Clarke, who helped create the ocean hurricane effects in “Adrift” (2018), and ILM, the VFX studio behind scores of water- and storm-heavy movies, from earlier films like “Deep Impact” (1998), “The Perfect Storm” (2000), and “Poseidon” (2006) to the massive maelstrom in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007) and the biblical deluges in “Evan Almighty” (2007) and “Noah” (2014).
We spoke with Clarke along with producer Ron Ames, who oversaw VFX and postproduction for “Rings of Power,” and senior VFX supervisor Jason Smith, who coordinated the series’ extensive digital effects work. We also talked to Bolívar Sánchez, the marine and underwater coordinator for Pinewood’s tank set, about how productions achieve key storm shots in water tank sets while prioritizing safety and control.
“Rings of Power” filmed the underwater portions of its storm in an immersive dive tank at the same facility in New Zealand. In the larger tank, the team used a combination of construction diggers, dunk tanks, pyro, switchable backgrounds, a gimbal-controlled raft, and a retractable roof to create a swirl of water and weather effects. They paired these practical techniques with subtle VFX that added CG waves, streaks of froth, and digital lightning bolts. Ultimately, the sequence used a 50-50 split between practical and digital effects.

How ‘Rings of Power’ Created Its Extreme Ocean Storm | Movies Insider | Insider
I love how you educate on different aspects of filmmaking. Especially for people like us, where we don’t have access to these tech but we are aware of it and now we can start working on how to produce this in our capacity. Thank you for covering these stories.
Fiercely designed and engineered water sets, these men and their self possessed engineering skills are breathtaking . So impressive. 🌊🌊🌊📽🎬📽🌊🌊🌊🌊
Loved this! Keep the behind the scenes coming!
That was a great VFX breakdown video to watch. Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
4:27 wow so much work and team effort, it's a pitty that it was for the rings of power 😂
Good writing is so much cheaper.
Nothing really to say, but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making and sharing it.
9:15 Imagine the lights falling into the water, that would be "shocking" to see!
Incredible! All this effort pays off. The show is fantastic to watch and brings so much joy to all those who enjoy Middle Earth.😊
Great vision and wonderful execution of work...
One has to mention the incredible water tank on the island of Malta.
Bigatures are so cool.
the ones in Blade Runner 2049 were also nice!
Shame they did not put this amount of effort into writing it.
😂
2:03 totally forgot Tom Holland was in this movie
Jesus Christ, this looks so scary. It would be a huge acting challenge for sure, although I’m sure the fear was genuine!
very cool, more of this behind the scenes stuff!
I loved The Impossible
Wish writers also worked this hard.
Great & amazing creativity , every which way to satisfy movies fans & ultimate producers / studio REVENUES
Okay, this interesting video for a series I plan to do 20 years from now
exlent work ..
Amazing movie
Was this just an ad for "The Rings of Power"?
Anyway that series sucked and that'll always remain so 😂
I want to I see how the character cg, water and hair sim was done in Avatar.
Is this a reupload? I’ve seen it before.
Very Interesting, and entertaining
Nice make i looks this movie
Creative
thanks
Great 🎉
"Extreme ocean storms" so tsunamis are storms now? Interesting, someone tell earthquakes they've been reclassified.
...with all of the ELECTRIC cables everywhere, it is amazing that there are no electrocuted people on that watery set.
They need to read the silmarillion before making a show about Galadriel
🙌
These are some great effects!
But the makers would have done better to spend some more effort on the story. The story that is told through this storm is ridiculous.
😍😍😍😍
فديو جميل وروعه
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Problem is no one cares how rings of power did anything because it was so rough
And with that f*ckton of money, they create a true trashbag that completely not The Lord of The Rings canon waw......
Second,me too
Close but one other person got to the comments section after the first one before you did
I hope Ring of Power Season 2 gets cancelled
So sad to see they did such a great loving effort for such a poorly written show.
all those practical effect wasted on garbage like Rings of power
Agree I hate how it was such an insult to the franchise yet the cinematography couldn't blind us from how bad the writing was and stuff
couldn't have said it better myself.
Releasing old videos to gain more views for ads. Ok.
Ikr lol
Rings of power sucked but the way how they did the cinematography that was good ill give it thag
It was a visually stunning cash grab
@cleverusername9369 well no it was an insult to tolken himself and a billion dollar nightmare so they didn't make anymore money from the show lmao
I quite enjoyed it 😁
@@andrewreynolds912 no

rings of power is garbage lol
Rings of Power is terrible, we could care less!
The Impossible is such an incredible film and when it's contrasted with this garbage TV show it only makes the more recent production look even worse. Not a flattering comparison regardless of the shared creative talent.
