This step, in my opinion, has the biggest impact on making your effect look realistic! One thing to make your explosion look more realistic is to create a few elements that will be flung out away from the centre of the detonation.
I’ve cut out the bottom left of my jump footage so there is no twitching in the foliage of the trees.
If you see any twitching during the transition, you can apply masks around your actors and feather them out a bit to make the cut less obvious. Place the jump footage on top of your base footage and align the jump so it cuts in at the correct time when the explosion hits and it looks like your actor is being flung away from a standing position by the power of the explosion! Feel free to take a run up to the jump, that’s the part we’ll cut away :) Try to get them to start the jump with the same position, direction and posture they had in your base footage as we will stitch those clips together. Next, film some footage of your actors actively jumping away from the explosion. Simply record your clip as normal and at the time of explosion, have your actors either jump away as best as they can or simply stand still. To create a convincing explosion you will first need to record your base footage. Learn how to make your explosions stand out with just a few extra elements like flying debris, shockwaves and camera shake :) Base Explosion Footage In my latest video, I am going to show you how to blow stuff up with VFX explosions!
