_♫ Cool guys don't look at explosions / they blow things up and then walk away ♫_

Ok

@4048 Antonio it really does!

I tried the lyrics with the “we flew a kite in a public place” jingle, it went surprisingly well

🤦‍♂️

Trevor Philips at the end of Crystal Maze

Your awesome

Did you notice how little Tom had to interfere in the explanation? That pyrotechnician is also a great teacher

Why does it sound like it was sped up

Now I know how to make explosion

Woah, love the explanation provided by the pyrotechnician. Lovely!

Tom's GoPros really need to form a labor union...

UK Gov now wants to charge 100,000 vehicle road taxes, ULEZ and congestion charge for the person in charge of producing this video

i thought the semtex was tuna ;-;

3:19 Me trying to play it cool after my big brother doesn’t give me a turn on the Xbox:

Unless they are CGI movie explosions are real. But most movie explosions small and include a lot of fuel.

Does the Gorilla-tape make the explosion bigger? :)

My mans using redstone

Holy crap blowing things up is a job!?!?!?!?!?!

The explosion looks crunchy

Climate change: Am i a joke to you?

Animals in the vicinity: "Say that again?" "What?" "I can't hear you, some humans ruptured my eardrums." "Are you trying to tell me there's a predator behind me?" "That's weird, I didn't a thingggggaaaaaaaHHHHHHH ☠️

Meet the demoman

3:19

buning all this on the same phony green channel that wouldn''t use 1 helium balloon. hypocrite much? you will do whatever gets you clicks... be it burn gas, rent a jet for 1, or pretend to care about the environment

this channel is BIG BRAIN EMBODIED

Pyro-technician: "We want it to do the minimum amount of damage possible." Also Pyro-technician: Proceeds to detonate a fiery explosion in the middle of the woods.

"Do not try this at home." Me with my 1kg of semtex and detonating cord: 😞

If movies used semtex the explosion would be mostly dirt and the actors limbs

best ending after the cinematic explosion, 10/10

Don't worry the cheesy grin was totally on brand

Having thought about this for a while it struck me that even the completely CGI explosions in movies look more like mock special effects explosions than real ones. It seems that everyone in the film industry has become habituated to explosions looking a certain way. And what's with the elliptical or ring shaped "shockwavey" things they put on explosions occurring supposedly in space?

I always thaught explosion in films looks worng. Now I know why.

Tom is always just being himself, no playing to the camera, feel like I even know him well.

3:19 teachers to my mental health

This is a very crude job coming from “professional” pyrotechnists. It looks like the front of someone’s car when they tried to duct tape their front bumper back on their car.

"and then I made a stupid face during the most important shot"

Another common pyrotechnic trick is the use of propane for things like cannons. Real cannon fire produces a lot of dust and concussive force at the muzzle, which is incredibly dangerous and can easily damage sensitive movie equipment; so a charge of compressed propane is used to get the bang and fireball without any of the mess and expense of actually breaking things.

Its likely explosions like this do happen though. Its pushes gases away because its an explosion, so it works as a bomb, and also sets things on fire because burning fuel is sent all over the place. Also the smoke can be used as cover while retreating. I can see this being used as makeshift incendiary bomb. Sort of gasoline molotov.

Happy British noise

So real explosions look as if they are just bigger versions of muzzle flashes essentially?

Since when did Hollywood started to be located at Berkshire?

poor Gopro

The cheesy grin made you look like the Unhinged Antagonist lmao

you could see the actual damage of the two explosions by the movements of the dead leaves around the explosions.

The grin on your face gives it more of a "Dark Knight Joker" vibe. I think it was better than a cold stare.

0:22 those leaves tho

so that's why the power rangers movie costed a lot.

ah, ducktape. the universal tool

The pyrotechnic in me lit up when I watched this!

WHO WOULDN'T GRIN WHILE DOING THIS

Is Tom single?

Casually sets off a very spicy explosive in a dry forest.

You said the H******** word really come on 0:31

This made me think of one type of explosion i've heard about and i'm now wondering if it's true or made up. Something apparently called a french kiss which would be high explosive wrapped in napalm and the result would be near instant incineration, thus rendering identification of the victim nearly impossible.

I don't know, maybe rehearse that a few more times and just don't press the button until you have what you're looking for.

3:18 that smile is creepy 🤣😂. Love this guy 😍 He's providing me knowledge and fun at the same time

*We flew a kite in a public place*

*blows up a bunch of stuff * *grins *

This guy sounds like an AI voice

Who's bright idea was it ,to film this in a damn forest.

The healthy accordion antenatally post because friction appropriately advise from a humorous multi-hop. testy, wandering search

Content

:>

vapor explosions make perfect sense for movies. I wonder why I had never made the connection before

0:26 it's funny that you say that since movies TVs and cartoons *are* the medium that set our expectations of what am actual explosion looks like.

3:19 *That smile, that damn smile.*

I'm so glad they use the unrealistic explosion in movies, I like it better. I hope they don't change it cause nowadays audience keep saying oh that or this would never happens but I really don't want movies be realistic and really ok if someone get shot in the head transfer to hospital and survive 😅

Good old duck tape ey mate

I found my new dream job

Only the half life games have real life explosion 💥💥

So this must be what the mini nukes must be made out of to make those mini mushroom clouds Huh

"and you tell your actor not to flinch 🙂"

Tom don't give Pyromaniacs any ideas now

3:30 reminded me somehow with outlast 2

I dunno, Tom. The cheesy grin kinda makes you look more evil, which is still cool in Hollywood.

Why does semtex look like it tastes really good?

It is called pyrotechnics

the orange overalls are camo for when theres a bunch of explosions

I don't know how you would press that button without grinning

The end of the video has a lot of character

0:03 just a piece of cake

3:43 "I just had a grin on my face cause I'm firing a thing" what accent is that?

R.I.P That Camera!

Yay global warming g and pollution

@Lmao. releasing alot of dirty smoke I was begun sarcastic but it's still true but I like explosions and rocket motors and I've messed around with some as well

They're explosions for god's sake

i thought they exploded water melon

Fing love you Tom

The thumbnail looks pure evil.

That plastic explosive was dangerous looking. You could see how it made the leaves far around it move as the wave of energy flew out from the center.

Or you just use the Funke Bodenblitz Polish firecracker

3:20 Memeable picture, thank tom later.

So which one is more effective? 🤔😋

🙂 💥

Did anyone else get the impression his voice was sped up?

The New breaking bad season is lookin' great

Next you're gonna tell me cars do not explode on impact...

There was one movie set in the middle ages. They exploded a carriage... a wooden carriage falling down a cliff... fire explosion...

Is it just me or that Semtex looks really delicious

Mmm. Strawberry flavour.

Professional Actors: *look cool with the blast in the background* Tom: _”We blew a bomb in a forest range”_

Also that song is catchy as hell

oh no in my head thats to the tune of "we flew a kite in a public place"...

When a twat dicks up the forest and its residents for a lousy you tube bit, then pathetically references generic destructive hollywood instead of one of his own country's studios. Unsubscribed.

You didn't say "fire in the hole".

how a forest fire starts: 3:24

The forbidden steak

Tldr; lack of lots of unclean fuel?

with 4315 comments ahead of me as I type this. It has probably already been mentioned that, IIRC, Heath Ledger flinched at the explosion in The Joker.

cool
