I started thinking about one of the effects from eurovision song contest.
It is a close proximity glass breaking effect.
From Swedens selection competition:
Melodifestivalen 2011: Eric Saade - Popular‏ - YouTube
2:27
And the ESC:
HQ Eurovision 2011 Sweden: Eric Saade - Popular (Semi-final 2)‏ - YouTube
2:29
I am suspecting diffrent methods, the Swedish one produce a lot of smoke, could it be pyro charge on some special glass? Or is the smoke an added effect and the glass is broken with a solenoid or something?
The ESC produce no smoke. Could it still be the same method?
What is that kind of glass called?
Lot of questions, but I guess one or two of you guys here have an answer. The ESC have a huge budget, it would be intressting to know how they do it and how you would do it if you ever needed to break a glass(or pretend too) in a local low-mid budget theatre production.
