Building a clock tower that gets destroyed during WW2.

This clock tower gets blown away by artillery fire. An example of working in low budget, fast turnaround productions. Lots of work, but things don't always go well.

The building was all built out of timber and covered in stamped aluminium corrugated panels for the walls and roof.

What was left after the pyro. The production did not want to pay for a high speed camera so there was only one standard camera and the shot was way too quick and almost non usable. It looked like a small model going bang.... arg!
