Special Effect Explosion Test

Just a test I did for one of the scenes in AB2. It is going to be almost identical to this, so I wanted to see if I could do it. Short, but took me a long time to make. :)

Everything is fake except Isaac and the background. The rain, explosion, missile, gunfire, sounds, reflections, camera movement, are all fake. :)

The explosion (because so many people are buggin me about it), is a detonationfilm stock, and can be found under the stock footage section here:

@theman2160 Cause that wasn't the point of this video...

[VELOC1RAPT0R]

what might help is something I learned from maltaannondotcom. Everything looked great but the smoke stream didn't look well inegrated. i'd recommend using his light wrap add-on to match it to the environment (maybe on the explosion as well).

Where are the Special Effects in the Video? I only can see Visual Effects... not the best ones, but okay for beginners...

But please, one thing: Special Effects and Visual Effects are two different things! Visual Effects are CG Effects, while Special Effects are "real" effects.. like guns firing blanks, real explosions etc... Of cource CGI are some kind of "Special" Effects, but they're not the kind of Special effects, you usually mean when saying "Special Effect"....
