Sugar glass.

For our music video we wanted to film glass smashing, however this would raise safety issues as it could harm us in the process of smashing it. We needed a solution to overcome this issue. Through research, we discovered something called sugar glass which turned out to be a good alternative to using real glass to smash. Sugar glass is commonly used in films/music videos as it is safer to use, easy to make and cheaper than using real glass. Sugar glass is made by using basic household ingredients and heating them up to make a gooey mixture which then needs to be left to cool down, resulting in a solid sheet.

We used this link to inform ourselves about the sugar glass making process:
