Question by Iamicecreamman: How can you make explosions in movies without…. well… making explosions?
I only need one explosion in this movie me and my buddies are going to make, but I dont really no how to do it without buying dinamite. Im geussing regular old fire works and slow down motion will do the trick, but Im thinking even cheaper. Is it possible to animate the explosions from a video editing software? I know a guy who is pretty good at this stuff, he recreated a disney firework show with nothing but his computer. But, is it possible for to make a full on explosion instead of those little glittery fireworks he “made”?
