This video is a re-upload! We revisited this effect recently as I was never fully happy with the previous end result, and have done a massive update to improve the quality of this effect.

CAUTION: This is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough but not intended as a tutorial. Don't try this at home!

This is our attempt at recreating a 'factory explosion' using a scale model and pyrotechnics, assisted by After Effects compositing and digital elements. This will be of particular interest to lovers of model special effects, pyro models and miniatures seen in "Thunderbirds" (the 1965 original more than the questionable CGI remake!) or "Team America: World Police".

Professional pyro miniatures are custom built out of specific substances and can break apart easily. We filmed this a few years back and at the time we didn't have the budget for this, and instead tried a basic first test using a kit factory from a model railway, and tried to set up parts of it to break away. As the model was way too small and the flames were way too big, in the end we replaced most of the fire after the initial explosion with digital effects at a better scale. Back when we filmed this we also could only shoot at 60fps and not 120fps which would have been better. But we hope to try something far more ambitious in the coming years, so subscribe to see more!
