So my idea was to take a framegrab of the video of Missile playing with the explosion effect, then scale and color match it to blinddog's background and use it for the explosion overlay (see below), which is kind of neat because it includes things like lighting highlights on the mountains that would be impossible to get otherwise. It was a PITA to get everything matched up correctly and while it's kind of cool, it's not that much better an experience during actual gameplay. It might look better if blinddog could set up his camera exactly as he did for the backdrop shot but with the lamps turned on and video off, but I realize that's a lot to ask (maybe not even possible).
