Another example, Use of HE in bullet hit squibs. Adam W is our resident expert on special effects, and he'll no doubt be guiding conversation in this field of pyrotechnics.
Mr Johnsohn is welcome to talk about EOD work too, this forum is about the professional application of explosives, whether it be for SFX, demolition, or military technology.
What we don't want is to turn this forum into an anarchists cookbook.

In one of my books at home (I'm currently at work), there's a brief description of how they did the water plumes for the 1970 film 'Tora Tora Tora'. Because water is so hard to scale, they didn't actually make water plumes, but rather they used 'buckets' of gypsum (IIRC, I'll check later) floating just below the surface of the water (presumably with a thin watertight covering) and a charge under the gypsum, rather like the SFX 'mortars' used on land for shell explosions. The charge blew the gypsum up into the air which looks convincingly like a large water plume. The shot would have to cut away quickly, however, as the gypsum just remains suspended in the air far longer than water.it looks like a waterplume will remain a mystery...
I suspect they used much the same technique in 'Sink the Bismarck'.

You'd need Zirconium. Probably best to buy them!
IIRC, you can make NC-based flame projectors with the Chloride. To make good green stars you'll ideally need Barium Nitrate/Perchlorate/Chlorate.
