So for a short film I'm creating over the summer I've written a scene in which the sea level rises really quickly, engulfing the coast and ultimately most of the land. I can tackle everything, apart from a scene where the main characters parents are trapped in an office block. I've purchased and started t construct an office block miniature roughly 20cm high, but I'm unsure how to make the water rise around it and which angles to use. Can anyone help?

I'm interested in an answer to this as well. I've always been curious about getting a realistic looking shot of water onto a model
You'll need to shoot high speed. The rule is scale, if your building is 1/4 scale, shoot 4 times normal frame rate. That means 96 fps if you're doing 24fps for the final product.
Chances are, it's much smaller than 1/4, right?
As far as angles, that's more of an artistic call. Is it the inside of a room you're building or the outside of the building?

Water will look different: it won't scale with the house 
But you could try your luck at a university that has a waterlab to test coastal constructions. (Or maybe you can find these labs only in the Netherlands We're always testing like mad how to enslave the sea and create more land 
)
Maybe they have the means to simulate the kind of flooding you want.
