The sun esploded.

Great, but one thing.
The sun is lit like a moon or planet, when the sun is a ball of light.
 
Yeah, that sun is in a pretty late stage, having cooled to a nearly inactive point. Which is acceptable, since that does happen. Some of them turn solid and dark.
 
But here is the problem with that train of thought, what exactly is shining light on the sun then? Plus in this clip the sun increases in brightness before the explosion with the shadow still on it with the shadow at the same intensity.
 
It would have been cool if it turned into a black hole at the last minute after exploding and then began sucking in all the things that just esploded out of it.
 
My comment was just to say that a solid body is possible, not to get into details of how that would work. But it wouldn't be our sun anyway.

It does look good, though. Just needs to be more fluid and maybe more lit from within.
 
djbobbyrhodes,

Funny you said that because after I posted that first little test, I thought of adding a blackhole after. I didn't think of the idea that it sucks everything back in, but that is genius.
 
Pretty good test. The explosion was WAAAAAYYYY to fast though. And using explosion footage, while it does lend to it, makes it "feel"small.

A star wouldn't explode like that. A massive expansion in size, bursts of light, massive cloud and dust fields left around, and a huge nova would be left also.


I think if you didn't go with a "star" angle and instead blew up a moon (loose the light being given, and just dolor it differently) you would have something far more believable. Just add more dust and chuncks.
 
I agree with Matt. Doesn't look much like a star exploding but looks like a planet or moon. Some more chunks would be nice too. But Matt already said that. :)
 
Agreed, there is a very nice explosion in this footage, perfect for a planet or moon... but for a star it feels off. The explosion feels as though its coming from the suface and then only blowing up a radius a few times larger than the star itself, if I remember my space science exploding stars envelope most if not all of their solar system.
