'Fallout 3 Short Film: Deprivation' Analysis

'Fallout 3 Short Film: Deprivation' is somewhat of a continuation of Pwnisher's 'Population 1', by Brettsk8 (YouTube name).

The opening of this short film gave me the idea of starting my opening scene in black and white but showing a family outside having fun together and then a "mushroom cloud" appearing in the backgroud. I would then have a shockwave effect come at the camera very quickly and use somewhat heavy camera-shake. The scene would then slowly change to colour as the dust/dirt disappeared, thus revealing the now destroyed world.
