Dan and Oli spend several
weeks constructing two identical models
of
the residential house
(left), having taken digital photographs
of
the live action house
(right)
The model was constructed
out of plasterboard and wood,
with
a detachable door
and net curtains.
Post-explosion -although
not as much damage as initially expected
occurred,
it did a good
job of blowing out the windows and door.
From

Mark Griffin (pyrotechnics),
Simon
Clark and Chris
Neilan.
A close up with door replaced.
To see uncut footage of
the explosions and the final effect shot,
take
a look at the in-depth
documentary on the making of the film
entitled
How to Make
An Epic Short Film on a Student Budget,
one
of the many extras
on the official DVD available here
on-line.
