Not a word ... just do it
Thomas Vanz (https://goo.gl/uCcLRz), a Paris based independant filmmaker has created Novae, an experimental short film that shows an artistic view of the astronomical event called "Supernova". Using only an aquarium, ink and water, his experimental short film is an attempt to visualize something unimaginably great with small tools. The footage was created in an analogous manner without computed generated imagery.
With a touch of poetry, the film draws inspiration from Kubrick or Nolan's cinematography.

There's extensive background on how this film was made at Scientific American: Ink-Drop Supernovae and Quantum Love Triangles [Video]
Note: the video in the SA article did not work for me so I located the same one on YouTube.
The overall winner is Novae, filmmaker Thomas Vanz’s breathtakingly beautiful visualization of a giant star’s explosive death by supernova and subsequent transformation into a black hole. Like a latter-day William Blake—the English poet and painter who famously mused about seeing “a world in a grain of sand” and “a heaven in a wild flower”—Vanz envisioned a supernova in drops of colored ink. Working for months in his garage in Paris, he filmed inks billowing through a water-filled fish tank, later using computer software to stitch and process the raw footage into his dramatic vision of stellar death. His behind-the-scenes shorts detailing the making of Novae are at least as entertaining as the final film itself.

There's quite a bit more in the SA article so the interested student is invited ...
Update: there wasn't time to correct a display problem with the article before it was necessary to leave for the Magical Medical Tour. Sorry about the delay.
