whichever way you think will be easier for you. if you're better with tools, a model, if a keyboard is your tool, the CG it.

also you could try buying a lighthouse if it isnt a key element and just film it.


if it has to blow up or anything like that, CG

later

use a picture from a postcard or magizine and scan it into the computer then layer in the actors, or built a model and use forced perspective or have someone paint you an glass matte then find a small hill and use creative photography to creat the illusion.
