Holy shit I got this one:
I'm trying to work out if it's real or not. It's from 2013, so I guess VFX wasn't so great back then, but then.... where? and when? and why?
Edit: I've been duped by mediocre graphics, don't worry I'm writing my will as we speak.
I remember this app.
It was an app called “Action Movie” by the Bad Robot studios people. It overlaid effects on top of what you recorded with the camera and this was one of the free effects.
It’s 100% fake because nothing happens to the other cars. They don’t explode out of the way, they don’t anything. They all just sit there.
This is the shittiest, fakest VFX I've ever seen.
I wouldn't go that far, but yes. It's less than optimal.
If you pause it in the middle, you can see the explosion is clearly a clip laid over the car video.
If you pause it, it's much clearer that it's just been overlayed onto the video.
Oh yeah. I guess I was just sold by the tyre trails coming off the black car. It's a nice touch.
Why would this be convincing? Do cars just start doing burnouts when they're near explosions?
I thought it was pushed away by the explosion and the trails were powder mixed with air coming off the tyres or something. Kill me?
