Exploding a house
by homers on Sep 14, 2007 at 5:08:15 pm

Hi
There is a hill behind my house where I filmed looking down at the whole of my house. I was wanting to make a video where you hear a fighter jet flying overhead and then the house explodes. I was liking the look of some of these explosions but you have to pay for them and I can't afford that right now.

Is there any way to get this effect without paying. Any explosion footage that I could use which is free?

Thanks

detonationfilms.com

or do it on the miniature level with firecrackers, zippo fluid, and a dv cam. Be careful though!

Hi
I was looking at that site earlier on but did not see any explosions that would look right. I need the whole house to be covered in a explosion. I will try and post an image of my house tommorow to show you.

AS for the minature idea. I have tried that kind of thing before and it did not look great.

rumage thru myspace... people are blowing things up on myspace every day.

also try searching for free explosion clip (maybe sample)... stock sites often feature a freebie of the week, you may get lucky and find an explosion.

1: Carefully place C4 at strategic locations in the house.
2: Remove wife & kids from house (this step is optional).
3: ......you get the idea?
