Miniatures from TV Movie "Landslide"

I ran across this clip from a low-budget made-for-TV movie called "Landslide." IMDB has several entries using that name, so I'm not sure which it came from.

The person who posted the clip seems to have some knowledge of the behind the scenes, he answered a comment asking about the scale used by stating:

"They were larger scale 5th near camera then diminishing as you went further away. The sets were seriously forced perspective, about 20-25 ft deep... If you lifted the camera six inches you see the ludicrous fall away in scale.. The water as always, you can't really scale."

It's true about the water, and that's where the clip suffers. The overall miniature work is fairly well done, but when the levee breaks and the water comes pouring through, the fact that it's a miniature is revealed.
