This thread won't be deleted if it stays on nonpyrotechnic methods from this point on.Computer methods are the only way we advocate something like an explosion with a fireball.
Stock footage can be superimposed, or computer animated explosion of a digital model.
If you were to film an actual explosion, you'd have to shoot it at high speed to slow it down, or duplicate frames in an editing program anyway. Miniature explosions look like exactly what they are without doctoring.
