Detonation Films is:

DETONATION FILMS DIRECTORY OF EFFECTS FOOTAGE

The site keeps getting larger and the effects catagory continues to run along the lines of "whatever we feel like blowing up at a particular given moment" which makes it a bit random. But fun, we think. Still, in a token effort to make things easier to find, we've created this directory. It will constantly grow and change as we add new stuff or take old stuff away, but we'll do our best to keep it updated. This will be for the Detonation Films site only; the DetFilmsHD site is for HD footage and is reasonably well organized already.

I just wanted to say thanks for all that you do. There's a ton of people like me who have a passion for special effects but never quite could make it to Hollywood.
Your site provides excellent footage, and keeps guys like me safe. Otherwise, I'd have to film the effects myself, and I don't have the training to do that.
Knowing me, without you guys I'd be missing a few fingers along with permanently removing my eyebrows. You make it possible for us to make our home movies
and fan films better, the safer and inexpensive way. Thanks again. -- Lance S.
