So here we have a simple explosion. Nothing too special. Didnt add any special elements because i was kind of rushing this (Which you should never do people! Dont rush it unless you really have to! Grade A quality is better than and F.).
First, you start out with a blank stock footage of a random or your chosen picture that you want to composite. I chose this lovely desert.
Next you composite in an nice firey explosion of your choosing. I set the transfer mode to Add to bring out some light and bright colors in the explosion.
Next i added a bunch of dirt hits and some sand explosions to basically simulate that it ACTUALLY exploded in the middle of the desert.
More dust elements:
Here, you can kind of see the blackish/brown smoke mixed within the fire. That kind of makes it a little more realistic and sets a good tone to the fire since it mixes well.
Lastly, i added a dust wave that hits the camera once it explodes outward to simulate and show that it was a huge explosion and to add in a bit of some ambient elements.
There you have it! A nice little explosion! You can go a bit more advanced and spend a little more time on this than i did by keying out the sky and maybe put in some footage of sky/cloud movement. You could also add more explosions or mess around with particle effects and generate a missile striking where it explodes. You could add some camera shake to bring out the life of the video to make it a tad bit more realistic. Messing around with the color correction would be a plus as well, i did a bit of it here but i dunno if i did a good job or not. But here you have it! A nice explosion!
Let me know what you think or even repost your own explosion to show me up! i encourage you! Other than that, i plan to do different types of videos from now on other than explosions and gun muzzle flares and shots (not before i post a muzzle flare breakdown though...). So look for that stuff!
Later Days.
