WATCH: Local Filmmakers Re-Create Sinking of the Titanic

On the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, check out this YouTube clip from local videographers 'Rapid Nadion.'

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, father and son filmmakers from "Rapid Nadion" released their latest version of their "Model Titanic Sinks" series.

According to their website, two Academy-Minicraft 30" 1:350 scale Titanic models, specially modified by the RapidNadion W&M Shipyards to sink as the real Titanic did, were used in the creation of this video.

The company is "devoted to filming scale miniatures in new, exciting ways," says the website. This footage of the model Titanic was filmed in Peconic Bay near New Suffolk — where most of their videos are shot.

"The many protected harbors and hidden creeks offer ample protection for our tender fleet, as well as breathtakingly gorgeous background scenery," says the website. "Summer is our busy season, but the winter months offer some unique opportunities for steam and ice to coexist in a visually interesting way.  Most of our Titanic sinkings also occur in winter."
