THE BRIEF

Details option

This was a teaser commercial for the broadcast mini-series premiere of "Gettysburg" on the History Channel. For the ground explosion scene, the plugin 'RayFire' was used to crack and breakup the impact ground and then MassFX was applied to create realistic dynamics of the ground and debris shooting up into the air and falling. Finally the plugin 'Afterburn' was used to create the residual smoke created from the blast. This plugin was also used for the bullet and cannonball trails.
