Week01 - Machinima - EXPLOSION 01

This machinima movie shows a great example of explosion from a game called Battlestations Pacific.


The video is very short but full of emotions and effects. The good use of music with the selecting scenes makes the video even more interesting. It also gives me an idea of explosion in different environments: water, air, and ground. The effect of each explosion is very interesting.


The left image (Figure 1) illustrates the effect of underwater explosion. The detonation of an explosive underwater results in an initial high-velocity shockwave through the water and in the formation of a high-pressure bubble of high-temperature gas. It produces enormous damange on surrounding objects. This impact of underwater explosion may be different from explosions in the air and ground (Figure 2&3). Therefore, I would like to experiment on these differences.
