But why the scene was not in the Gale Family's farm?

[TroySundt]

It was projected behind the set of the Gale farm. This particular part from about :30 and on was used during the scene where Dorothy is trying to get into the front door of the house and the screen door blows away.

[RaysonPaulTancasis]

Actually, where did you find this?

[TroySundt]

Its on the 2nd dvd on the 2005 release.

@Argocity2006 Why don't you keep your negative comments to yourself. You should't have watched the video if you didn't approve of it. Go watch some Sailor Moon.

The tornado was connected to a moving gantry at the top of the stage and a moving, wheeled vehicle across the floor at the bottom. Buddy Gillespie did an excellent job using muslin to make it with. The wind machines were pointed in the correct direction and became stronger as the tornado got closer. It was a long tube of muslin, about as wide as a person. Small holes filtered real dust piped through the muslin tube. When a tornado is "roping out" as the movement depicts, it's almost over.

Would it be against the law to use this as projection during the tornado scene for a small town wizard of oz production that I'm doing?

@DumpsteroJunk yeah i know. i saw some of the raw footage of it and it was pretty cool.

[binturong1000]

@TstormSardiniaTeam Isn't a cyclone part of a tornado?

[mrmxer100]

@phantasm091 no thats y its kinda unrealistic cuz it moves so fast lol thats like 100miles perhour then in stops all the sudden and 0 mph then it shoots up again lol

[DumpsteroJunk]

did you guys know they used a nylon sock to make the "tornado" look real? i thought that was pretty cool..

I saw the first of many twisters on Palm Sunday 1965 form and touch down. North of Knox indiana, at near dusk. It was back-lit by the setting sun shining thru clear sky in the distance. It had rained just before and stopped, so initially it kicked up no filth. This white-looking thing did move like this video. Clear as day. That's what stayed with me always. The top half marching along maybe 30mph, and the bottom end just snarling any old way, even backward! This film in 1939 is excellent!
