great video man, looks a lot like hollywood.

Hey I'm not asking for a tutorial but just an overview, to make a convincing car explosion.

You put an explosion, camera shake, and secondary fire right?

[akhiltanwar]

@asterix645 yes shakes are pretty important but not too much. make sure you play with the explosion transparency a little bit like overlay, multiply, screen etc. and duplicate the explosion to make the entire scene look realistic and change its transparency to add

Thats really pretty good man. Nice motion tracking. my only comment would be that the fire seems to blow to the right but the smoke goes straight up. may just help to make it that bit more realistic. I like it how you did the gunshots first to give reason for the car to blow up. nice work dude. keep it up. You might wanna look at my video of an explosion for some handy hints.

@georgewoofbates Thanks!!

what explosions did u use

[akhiltanwar]

@americanmisfit1 i honestly don't remember, it was a while ago, sorry

[joshuathejedi]

Let me guess: 2 different flame videos. One smoke video. Some camera shake, and three different glass "shot" videos, scaled down and set to "screen" (or, since it's AE2, they were already cut out)

Right? nice video

[craigfrosttv]

very very nice! the camera movement really helps to sell it! I just used action essentials to blow up a workshop in my latest short film called 'Conscience'. It's on my channel if you like to have a look.
