The Wizard of Oz
Windsock Tornado
The Wizard of Oz is one of the classic fantasy films that almost everyone has seen at some point. It opens with a bang, showing a tornado ripping across Kansas before taking Dorothy to the land of Oz. The landscape shown in that scene was a mini model of Kansas countryside. When it was time to portray the tornado, the crew attached a long windsock to a gantry and moved the two in opposite directions to mimic the movement of the tornado.
