I’ve had my share of risky setups, but I always make sure the blast is safe and controlled. Nothing beats the authenticity of a real explosion, especially when you’re in a place that’s already on the edge of collapse. The key is to keep a tight hold on the timing, use small charges to avoid destabilizing the structure, and have a solid evacuation plan. CGI is handy for the dramatic shots, but a real blast, if handled correctly, brings that raw energy you’re after. What’s the scene you’re working on? Maybe I can share a trick or two.
