I think this is a great idea. The smaller the model, the more noticable the scale difference between the model and the water waves will be, as compared to the REAL city of Atlantis rising from the water. Plus, you might add some blue and maybe a little green food coloring to the water in the tank, to give it the appearance of ocean water, so it's not clear like a smaller volume of water usually is. Maybe even use ocean water! It has all kinds of silt and debris in it that might increase the realism. But you probably already know all this.

There is much to consider in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a rounded back. I hope this article has introduced you to some of the best current practice which may help you.

I usually make flat bottoms, but only because they are easier to make, or partial Vs that still have a skinnier flat bottom.

PS- I will e-mail to everyone who asked the pictures of the weights to balance extreme steep angles with the camera in the next few hours. Futhermore congratulations on your achievements Geoff, this list is brilliant. --

The rather unflattering term ‘dowager’s hump’ refers to increase rounding and prominence of the upper back at the junction with the neck. Unfortunately, being aristocratic, titled (and widowed) is in no way a prerequisite for said hump!

If you do develop a painful spinal insufficiency type fracture which has made you shorter and caused you to hunch over then you might be a candidate for balloon kyphoplasty. This is an excellent treatment and I have managed many patients successfully this way. I discuss this in an article I wrote for the Cheltenham Spine Clinic, which I invite you to read.

What size is your tank? How are you planning to stir up the waves? You'll see a photo in Fielding's book on how we did it many years ago, by bouncing empty 55 gal. drums up and down outside of frame.

Franz, I'm curious as to the visual effect this produces. Is this for situations where the water has to pour, as in a waterfall? If used as a miniature lake or ocean, I would guess that it would thicken the water too much and make it look less realistic.

The water can be made less transparent by addition of powdered scene paint to make it greenish or whatever color you like. Paint the bottom of the tank dark.

Clark, I have absolutely no experience with this sort of thing, so don't take any of these suggestions too seriously if you know things to be otherwise.

Some of us have more curvy backs and some of us have straighter backs, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both. I’ll discuss this further in a future article.

Ex.: Real bldg. is 120 feet high; miniature bldg. is 10 feet high. The product is 12. Square root of 12 is 3.5. Multiply 24fps X 3.5 = 84fps, the theoretically correct cranking speed to shoot at.

And yes, a deep stop. Lighting will be a big concern, because lack of depth of field really looks fake on what is supposed to be an ELS.

Go min 1/4 scale if possible. :) Check out The Abyss for some ideas. If you are doing salt you might as well do real water elements. After you get a take you like then paint the model with custom splashes etc. shot on velvet.

Fielding also mentions the use of a mixture of marble dust and flour as a substitute for falling water in distant waterfalls, etc. The texture is finer than the salt you are considering.

My plan is : 1. A Frasier lens. 2. Make the model as big as the budget and water tank will allow. 3. Light to as deep an f-stop as possible. 4. Over crank.

Our spine is cleverly designed with three main curves when we look from the side. In the neck, we have a cervical lordosis; in the trunk, the thoracic kyphosis and the lower back, the lumbar lordosis.

Yes, in some cases; but we cannot change our genetics and some of us will always be more curvy, like our relatives. Think of it positively as unique and special to you. There is, however, plenty that you can do to maintain a better posture during adolescence and adulthood and also to mitigate the consequences of having a round back.

Your breakdown is the right way to go. Though the slow mo water is what you want. It's the large drops that will bone you. Refer back to your largest model possible reference. One possiblity would be to break up the drops with air knives or the like.

It is easier to prevent spinal fractures occurring than to treat them after they start. Stable, horse, bolted comes to mind!

Inability to miniaturize the water is the biggest giveaway that it's a miniature, so make it as large as possible. Using even larger models for the first spires that appear is also a good plan. Since this shot is overhead, make it as big as the tank will permit.

A ‘rounded back’ refers to the middle curve (the thoracic kyphosis) in your back and implies that your spine is more curved than others.

Then shoot tests to see what the actual cranking speed should be. The final determination is what looks right. But the formula gets you close, at least.

Just gone through tons of fascinating issues (the "visual storytelling" is brilliant) after being away on a shoot and I have came across the miniature and water question. Something that I have used with great results in the past is mixing water with the type of glue used for pasting wallpaper, it gives a consistent mass effect. Once you find the right consistency it works magic. Another trick to break the surface and the droplets is to hide in the miniature some low pressure hoses with holes (called whips) attached to scuba cylinders (via a first stage) and have random bursts of high pressure air as the water interacts with the miniature. It helps replicating the explosive force of a big mass of water hitting something. It needs good coordination and some rehersals. The results are truly incredible but make sure that is all done by somebody qualified and competent with scuba cylinders and equipment. As somebody else suggested is also very important to dye the water of a slight green tint, this is how we generally perceive sea colour. I agree that speed is the real issue, as usual test and test, I found that between 64 and 94 works well at 1/12 scale, and try a ramp as well, if you look at the sea when is storming you have waves hitting obstacles at different speeds, due to the conformation of the bottom or a sudden burst of wind. That's my two cents

The key point is whatever your particular spinal 'S' shape and whether you are fat, thin, fair or fertile, from London, Gloucestershire or Timbuktu, your head should be balanced above your pelvis.

As a spine specialist, I see many people with bad posture. Many patients tell me: ‘My partner tells me I stoop!’, ’friends tell me to stand up straight’, and ‘I hate my hunched back!’ - Do any of these sound familiar to you?

You must overcrank. The formula to get into the ballpark is (trying to create the formula here probably won't reproduce on many e-mail systems, so):

Maybe you could build separate (and larger) individual models for the spires and pieces of buildings rising from the ocean, to help the scale match better, if budget allows. I think that if you could make some closer overhead shots look convincing, it would make it much easier for the viewer to accept the whole sequence. Also, some sort of device in the tank to churn the water slightly would add an interesting element. Maybe an underwater fan, or a way to aerate the water to form tiny bubbles that rise to the surface, like in the ocean. The overcranking also sounds like a great idea, not only to give the appearance of a massive city in motion, but to smooth out and mask any little jitters you may encounter in trying to lift the model out of the water smoothly.

At this point my biggest concern is that as I overcrank the camera to get the feel that the model is much bigger than it is, that the water falling off the model in slo-mo and in large droplets will give away the illusion. I am going to experiment as well, with pouring salt in front of a black screen, then compositing that as water onto a dry model, and adding water elements in post.

Kyphosis is the medical term that describes an excessive curvature of the upper part of the spine, causing your back to appear more rounded than normal.

Considering your occupation, vary your posture at work frequently and improve your sitting position. Have you had a workspace assessment?

And comfort yourself in the fact that there probably has never been a miniature water scene that is convincing to a filmmaker except perhaps when the water elements have been very meticulously and expensively added digitally.

One of the tricks I've used in making miniature water work better is adding a chemical (like a non-foaming soap) to break down the surface tension of the water and make it behave a little "looser".

Photo-Flo was the first thing we considered. Unfortunately, it suds like a laundry detergent (doubtless because it is a detergent!)

Divide the miniature size into the actual, life size of the scene; the square root of this result is the cranking factor by which you multiply the cranking speed.

There are several possible reasons. Either this is your normal spine shape - most likely inherited from a parent or grandparent who has a similar posture (look at those old family photos!) or you have acquired this posture during your life. There are several causes:

Physiotherapy can work really well but takes real commitment. The mainstay of physiotherapy includes stretching exercises to improve flexibility through the back, pelvis and hamstrings and strengthening exercises working specifically on extension based spine strengthening.
