Debris

Rubble, Glass and Flying Debris

Whatever flies when something gets hit: debris bursts of dirt and rubble, glass elements, building destruction for wrecked structures, object destruction for props breaking apart, and flying debris. Whirling leaves, paper and tornado debris round it out.

Category information

Which format suits debris?

ProRes (.MOV): carries an alpha channel, so dark rubble and the fine dust trailing behind it stay solid and clean over your plate. Use it for most debris.
MP4: a smaller download with its background baked in. On green, pull a key, then check the small fragments, which an aggressive key tends to erase.

Category help

How to add debris to an impact

Start the burst on the exact frame of contact, with its origin at the point of impact.
Defocus any fragments that pass close to the lens. Pin-sharp chunks right in front of the camera read as a separate layer.
Back the chunks with a puff of dust and smoke, since nothing breaks without throwing up dust.
Once a window breaks, keep it broken: lay a smashed glass graphic over it in every shot that follows.
