The Zoom- X%

The Zoom was really about giving an overview of the building/damage and then focusing in on a point of interest. I began from a distance and then added a slight rotate to my zoom to allow more sides of the building to be shown. I then zoomed in on one of my three epicentres (dynamite clusters) to demonstrate where the carnage originated from and where it went. The Explosion itself (as commented on in the intro movie) obviously explores the idea of explosions within structures which is what I looked at in Exp 1. I wanted to expand on this and study the stronger and weaker points of the building and my X% illustrates my understanding of how the explosion would have taken place. The windows and lighter interior walls would be the first to be penetrated by the blast which would leave the thicker floor panels in tact (until the whole thing collapses!). The images of my Solidworks model document how the blast would have passed through the George Street building.
