I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

However a common trick to help marry composite elements is to leave or make the frame wobbly.
Am I correct in assuming that you say there are three elements to the video:

An aircraft in flight
An explosion
A smoke trail

That the first two are genuine but independent and that all three have been fused in to one video?

I would not disagree with that.

My initial post was only to cast doubt on the assertion that the explosion was FAKE as opposed to the whole composition being fake.
