That was awesome.

You beat me to the firing range by about 17 years.

No wonder I didn't see you there!

 

Some of the first models I created in A:M were of guns and bullets.

They certainly didn't have your flair for dynamic action!

In fact they were mighty lame in comparison.

 

(For more fun... play that 'bullet through the bottles' in reverse)

 

Additional thoughts:

One thing that translates well is that the bottles appear to expand a little just before shattering.

That effect could be further exaggerated by adding a few more frames in post or animating the bottle.

 

I'm considering how I might use these works of art in future projects.
