Stepped on a crack!

The next scene is due to the weight of carrying the rock by the actor, he 'pressed' into the ground resulting in a fracture to the ground. 

A few stock footages are used, mainly the dust burst and the debri sprayed from the ground. The crack animation is found online and was also timed and composed in. The difficulty about using stock footages is that the timing may not be as what one require and the scale is also not to preference at times. Thus, there is a fair bit of mix and match and editing to ensure that the scale, color and timing looks correct to the scene. 

Example of a dust burst footage:

Debri and cracks (blurred):


Roto-ed legs to bring it up front:


Dust burst and debri at legs and cracks. This was timed precisely to the crack formation such that both debri and dust will surface there and then.
