Hi all. We did two car explosions for a video a couple of weeks ago.

Two explosions, you can see both in the behind the scenes clip after the short. First one was our Hollywood try. It kinda failed, the car should've jumped in the air but our mechanism failed. Second try with another car was to just cram it full of tnt and run away and hide behind a hill. Worked pretty well

So that's what killed the driver - the airbag didn't go off !

Got to say guys, its good to see realistic car explosions but leave the silly blast incendiary fireballs out of it, it destroys any realism. Hollywood has been doing that for years and it looks stupid. In all the car bombs I have ever witnessed detonating, and I have seen more than my fair share, I have yet to see a fireball.
