Explosion Machinimia

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare- Nuclear Bomb Scene
This piece of machinima clearly communicates the idea of how nuclear explosions can expand, stretch and distort in size. The special effects of the explosion symbolises how the nuclear bomb creates destructions in real-life scenarios. The satellite image is to communicate the idea of how nuclear explosions create mass destruction. The aftermath of the explosion uses the idea of floating particles which use a special sandstorm effect and a mushroom cloud to symbolise the beginning of a nuclear destruction. The reason why I find this scene interesting is to shows the mass destruction of war torn environments.
