It was also discussed in this thread, but I have no memory of anyone actually attempting to do something with it.
Go ahead, experiment and be sure to tell us about your experiences! Stefan. P.S. Your logo turned out nice! |

you could make some sugar glass and break it in live motion...

I read the special-effects FAQ another time, and I thought the idea for glass effects with a thin sleet of ice was a good idea. So I made a small mould and filled it with a thin sleet of water. I putted it in the freezer tonight and I can't wait till tommorow! And of course I will tell you the result.

It worked, I had an thin sleet of ice with a thickness of about 2 or 3 millimeters(about a fifth of a inch) and it broke very quickly. But it melted very quickly too, so if you are going to use it, do it fast.

I have made breakaway glass many times. It is fairly easy. The only thing i had trouble with was getting it out of the mold. You will want to grease it. Another thing don't make it too thick, it can hurt.

This may sound silly but you can buy very thin sheets of clear plastic from model shops. Using this you can do various stages of breaking the glass with the last one completely covered in clear tape, with the last one going through the glass. (Note! each window frame must be exactly the same as the last in size, so skinning would help!)
example Solid pane. Solid pane. with etched cracks. Cut pane (along the lines) held together with one sheet of clear tape. As object passes through it the pane will appear to break. And for last part stick broken pieces to object, and remove frame by frame as object moves away from window. Then have broken glass pieces on the floor where the object lands. Its time consuming but the effect is good. |

I'd like to see an example of this. It sounds like it could really have a neat effect if done properly.

That does sound cool Martin. Do you have any example footage? Breakign glass is a great effect but very hard to do in stop-motion, IMHO.

The following was a quick test, didn't want to stick anything to the vampire but if you slow it down you can see how this was done.

I read your comments about break- away glass and you seem to know what you are talking about. I have a show coming up that requires break-away bottles. I have the mold to make them in but not a recipie that works. The ones that I've tried are either too thin and brittle or too thick and wont break. Any suggestions or good recipies I can try for this. Thanks
