A telephoto lens was used which gives the impression that they are closer to the wave and makes the wave look bigger. Photographers will usually will pick up on that very quickly.
It may look like one big wall of a wave, but those are multiple, smaller waves behind each other. Camerahuman is just at a very good spot and filming from a good angle.
Imagine all the fish in there going "Whoooaaahhhh shiiiiiiiiiit...." as the waves crash down. There has to be daredevil fish who like riding the waves like people enjoy roller coasters 😂
@@sea-pinl do also, watching the Cribba just around the headland off little fistral is the biggest wave l know locally, that gets huge and surfed, but looking down on it from the hut on the headland really adds to it's size, with the righ lenses on a camera especially. Go and have a look off the cliffs at St Nazaire in Portugal and even with no lenses it looks horrifyingly huge. Over 100ft with the right conditions.🙂🙂
It's just the lens and and distance that makes these look bigger than they are. Trust me, I live in Cornwall and have worked on Fistral Beach for over 25 years. These are 20 foot waves in reality, no bigger. We get them in winter on Fistral. They still look impressive though and are big.
The videographer makes the waves look bigger without adding context. There's very little comparison to the surrounding environment. What's on the vid is just a detail, and the movement is at about .25% speed.
These are very large waves but not nearly as large as the camera angle makes them out to me. They would be normal storm size waves for any ship out in the atlantic. The difference is that out at sea they don't crest and curl over the top.
Reminds me of how intelligent I was as a teenager in Illinois. What's the first thing you do when you hear a tornado siren. Open your window and climb onto the roof, of course. 😂
Video of those big oil platforms in the North Sea are terrifying. Those things are not small and those waves are crazy. Terrifying is a great word for it. Incredible amounts of energy in those waves.
@@papipelukita1355 thank you. it looks magnificient. since I was a child I have had a fear, love of the ocean. Total respect. Especially living in The Netherlands along the sea. One day if a big whoosh takes me back home.. it will be a good death.
We have the same problem here at Cape Spear in Newfoundland Canada. The combination of huge waves and high winds is very attractive to sightseers, who are occasionally blown into the ocean and lost.
@@johnpacella9519 LoL, we saw the same movie. Question; How many times did you have to watch it, before you realized it wasn't trash, but actually a really good movie?
Don't. Nature doesn't deserve worship. In fact, you are nature too, everything is really, but you have to realize that the very basis of life is built on greed, taking from other so you may spread your genes further than the others, war, battle, predation, everything's tied to greed. There's two choices you can make now, either accept that greed is a natural and moral thing, or accept that nature is evil, your choice.
I'm not sure i could just stand there. The Japanese people are so brave. They've endured some of the worst natural disasters and they are still standing strong.❤
These videos take my breath away coz i can close my eyes and still feel them... no words can describe how little and helpless you feel when in their presence.
No doubt they're big waves but the way this is shot and edited is deliberate to make us think they're far larger. It's the BBC. A news article that says "Waves Spotted In The Ocean" would hardly get any clicks.
I live near Noyo Harbor, CA. The locals will flock to the elevated ocean overlooks whenever 20 - 30 foot swells hit the coast. The waves can double in height when they cross the reef so you need to be up well above that. Fortunately it usually happens when there are few visitors to our area. Still there are too many people drown from being swept off the beaches when the big waves crash in.
@@andyjennings15 Because of a reef that surrounds much of the island, we do not see waves like this. One of those would wash away much of the island infastructure I would think.
It reminds me back in the day in Cornwall in portreath beach ( I believe you spell it like that or at least pronounce it like that) . Waves were so big they came all the way up coving whole beach crashing into and over the two big walls stacked like steps and over into the parking lot. My mum almost lost me that day when she spotted me by the edge of the top wall by the railing standing on a upside down frisbee waiting for the waves to come so I could catch a ride but she ran over and scooped me up in time. I lost the frisbee that day but yea.. good times. There was even a surfer out in those waves that looked about that size lol if anyone knows portreath beach close to or in Redruth /Penzance leave a comment. It would be nice hearing from someone from my hometown area. Maybe even my friend Leon Watson Sheppard . Miss him and everyone over there. This also happened about 24-26 years ago. Im 31 now
Actually they are not. It is an illusion created by camera position, lens and slowing the video down to reinforce the IDEA of huge waves taking a lot of time to crest. Look at the bushes....watch their motion. They are in super slow motion...you now how quickly shrubs get knocked around in heavy winds. This content video was heavily setup.

Reminds me of the North Atlantic when I was on the USS Deyo stationed out of Charleston SC. The ship, a destroyer would literally disappear between the swells like a fisherman’s cork.
Beautiful and amazing clip! What blows my mind even more about it though is that people are just standing there watching it instead of trying to find safety! If I were to witness something like that I’d be scrambling to get out of its path! 😳😳😳😳
There was a scene in the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, that featured waves like these, but they were portending continents shifting location. I am very impressed at these scenes; they are the real deal!
It would be nice to see what's happening at normal speed instead of slow motion. The slo-mo makes it look like the waves are more massive than they really are.
And the footage is so slow that they look like they're enormous and very far away. No doubt they're big waves but I'm willing to bet this was shot and edited in a way specifically to make us think they're much larger than they are.
These waves look unreal but they are very much real indeed. Very impressive waves, absolutely beautiful but scary indeed. I would not want to be close to them. Very nice shot from this cameraman, it is impressive. Congratulations on a superb job well done. THANK YOU KINDLY. Hats off to you! 👍👍👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I don’t think I would be standing so close to the shore.
Yeah, thats not the shore.

It’s really well protected shoreline, there is a reef off the cape that creates these huge waves. Also it’s one of the best sunsets in the world.
A telephoto lens was used which gives the impression that they are closer to the wave and makes the wave look bigger. Photographers will usually will pick up on that very quickly.

Fish are the sensible type and find a nice sheltered spot in storms. Unlike humens
Haha I love this like there has to be some cool fish like that everyone loves a little fun 🤩

One of nature's most terrifying spectacles. The energy locked up in those waves must be colossal.
