Looks like fun a again. Can you share some of your secrets in the making of this video and the story behind it Phil?

[magpiespyro]

There is a brief description with it but what would you like to know dude?

[ovenpaa]

I ma interested in the pyrotechnic side of things, what did you use to create the first hit, and sequence the subsequent explosions.

Without giving too many secrets away of course!

[magpiespyro]

The first hit was from a rifle which creates enough friction to get the fuel going, so the fuse train gos like this, hit/fuel/quickmatch/slow burn nitro fuse/black powder lifting charge/pyrotechnic projectile from pressure tube/pyro effect; smoke/flash bang x50

well done, took the old eyballs a few seconds to focus on the fact that you were not cutting from old film to models...very impressive.
