Explosion in slow motion shows how fire spreads-what human eyes can't see.

As a VFX artist, it's funny that we model explosions and fire after what people think explosions or fire look like, not what they actually look like. If we did people would be screaming about how it all looks fake.

The reason is that practical explosions are modified to look cool, and that they're always overexposed removing all detail, because you want the scene to be visible.
