Nobody knows. The real shooting is dangerous even if to protect the camera from the fire. It was hard to find any of reference footage or video for this task. I had nothing else but to rely mainly on my imagination.
The explosion are not suppoused to be very big. It is more like small BOOM with some terrible consequences ... mostly for the car.
Trying to understand that i prepare the mattepainting of the burned car, and 3d model of the saloon.
To simulate the real explosion i demolished the corpus, broke away the pads and some elements of car saloon, added smoke and shaked the car body.
Also I prepared the debris flying and collide with objects inside the car.
Here you can see how the final shot looks.
And the video part of this with a bit of making off.
finished in July, 2009
