Thank you! I am always amazed by how powerful Blender is.

Thank you!

Thanks Michael!

Thanks! I don’t personally, no, but if you look up ‘stormy ocean tutorial’ you’ll find a lot of easy to follow ones. A lot of it is just adding an ocean modifier and then tweaking the settings to make the waves violent. Dark lighting + sound + an animated handheld camera help sell it a lot. If I raised the camera up a little bit and brightened the image this whole thing would look like a mess.

Also use ‘the images as planes’ add-on to drop a video of some lightning in the background and add fog to tie everything together.
