Sure, if you’ve been following the blog for a while, you might remember this shot. Law and Order, Criminal Intent was doing a show about a guy that blows up his house and I happened to be walking by (it’s a block from my house) when they had prepared this explosion.
And so – no tricks – it actually was done by the art designers – and it was set up so that they could do it a few times. The show opens with a little girl and her mother walking by the house. The girl drops her teddy bear – and goes back to get it. As she picks it up the house explodes.
Thought that episode was the Mothership, not CI?
No. It was Law and Order and the Episode cited.
