Still picture taken, then split up into layers in photoshop program.
Building shatter created in After Effects CS4.
Fire and glass footage inserted into After Effects project.
Rendered in After Effects.
Footage then imported into a video editing program to add in the sound effects and audio.
Rendered again.

Other: "I know the entire explosion looks a little CG / videogame-ish, for good reason though. The first small explosion is initially what I wanted to make, but it is hard to resist trying over the top things in After Effects."
