OH SHIT! I was just calling in to answer the question and saw my pic...aaawh thanx guys. Off to leave a dirty message!

PS~ Steve needs a girlfriend :/ give her giant boobs. Please.

I wish I was a catfish.

That cyborg stuff looked SICK!

awesome robot dude!

Nice job.. As always..
You know what.. Erik's father did great for his first time ;) Don't think i could do it better.. Good luck with all the other projects..

Yeah Peterban, I was really impressed with how well my dad did on camera.
And TNTV, the Cyborg episode is AWESOME, only one week to wait.

What model mic is that?

I use a sure sm57. Is that good enough?

Yo Erik idon't know how to use final cut pro. Would windows movie maker as well? i want to be a directer but i like sfx just as much!

Nick I'd say work with whatever program you can get your hands on! Make movies non-stop, and if it starts getting you some money, look to purchase a better program.

thanks dude i am actually in the processe of making a 9/11 film and i am taking it very seriously. anyway i would like to build an air plane but need some guidence... and no i dont mean afull scale one! but please help! do your best

Hi Eric,I'm in need of an editing system.Windows Movie MAker stopped saving my projects.Whats the next best and affordable system to buy?

Pretty cool robot. I'd like to see you guys make a Lizardman. As in either a huge puppet, a costume, or maybe even make-up (that is if it's possible for make-up to look like scales). I need it for a short monster movie I'm planning to do.

Same question as KevinAZ -- what sort of mic is that, and would you recommend it? I've tried to search for boom mics, but all I get is information about stands (I didn't realize that the "boom" in "boom mic" refers to the stand and not the actual microphone). Assumedly, one could just buy whatever microphone they wanted, attach it to a stick, and voila -- it's a boom mic, right?

daydreamer1- Though illegal downloading isn't...well, legal, it can help you out. I just downloaded Adobe Premiere for free :/. You can use the program LimeWire (download the pro version from there) and then get it from there, or you can use a torrent.

Torrents are much like Peer to Peer programs, but a bit different. BitTorrent.com has all the info you'll need. You can download torrents from a lot of sites, a simple Google search will help with that. A great torrent site is Demonoid.com, they have everything you'd need (except porn...bastards) but, you will need an invitation to join, I can hook you up if you want (they've been down recently.) So...uhh...go with illegal downloading. *cough*

Please don't arrest me D':

That robot is sweet.

Could you guys do an episode on boom mikes? Like, how do they work? What do they work with? Where are some to buy? I've been really interested in them but can't find the info.

i want to upload video from a hi8 to a computer is there a way to do that

FATHER SON HIGH FIVE

Erik Beck has reached a whole new level of awesome.

Yo Steve..
I was wandering.. Do you have a link for me where i can Download a program so i can do all the thinks with the green screen?

I agree with SuperRyan. An episode about sound and mics would be soooo helpful!

P.S. a great free tool to clean up audio hiss and noise is called wavepad.

You said you were doing fake heads! I need a head and arms! Keep your promise!

Yo Max..

Don't worry... I bet the episode with fake heads will come.. And.. Yes.. Erik said that he was gonna do an episode about Fake heads.. But did you hear him say WHEN he was gonna do it..? Don't think so.. Just wait..

could you guys make an episode about explosions? cause me and my friends are making a short film for our film class and we really need an A+. but i dont want it to be dangerous for my friends safty but i still want it to look good...any ideas?

(mystkmastkal) For explosion effects, check out deteonationfilms.com - it's a much easier way of doing it than actually blowing things up. They also have tutorials on their page.

Was it windy the day you filmed this, or was it shot out of scene? Because at 00:32-00:39 the wheel was at $20, then at 00:39 it went to $30. 00:41 thru 00:43 showed the wheel at $20, then at 00:43 it went back to $30. And at 00:49 to 00:52 the wheel was stopped at $40. However, the wheel then managed to go to $20 at 00:53 through 00:55, and at 00:57 the wheel was back at $40. I'm not trying to be a critic, just wondering what the heck was goin' on.

The wheel of prosperity is a strange and wonderful beast...that's all I can say.

how do you ask how to do something? if that makes any sense?

Hey Eric, do one of how to make heavy black smoke. You rule mate.

the robot BFX was really cool. when are you going to do the BFX on severed heads because it sounds great.

Hi. Great robot. I'm gonna try to find some parts and do my own. Maybe someday do a flick with my very own robot as sidekick. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial to set someone on fire.

I like it I made one any chance you could tell us how to make aclapper bord/slate thingy

in response to oblenob, if you want to get a cheap clapperboard i suggest you go to iwantoneofthose.com. you can pick one up for 5 bucks!

Whens your monthly collab that you always talk about?

robots R cool!! i just wish i had a robot son...:'(

Cant wait till cyborgs i am going to turn into one after the episode is on. I think I know how to make the eye though.

Wheres Gary? The best puppet in the world? :'(

hi all of my friends have cool bb guns and i want to get one but i do not know where it get one and i am low on money will you show me how to made something like a bb gun bye

i know this sounds really lame but how do you do the time lapse thing?

that's great!

(cesigs) Time lapse is just footage sped up really fast. Just record normal speed, capture it all, then increase the speed to whatever percent. There are also programs that can do time lapse with a webcam.

loved it!!!! one of the best videos yet! how did u get that robotic voice?

I miss Gary :'('

omg it is so laggy on my damn computer

This is quite possibly the best thing on this site yet.


Besides the shogun armor.

You know Erik, I just want to thank you for doing this episode. It inspired me to want to build my own robot costume and do a short film for a film festival.

Thanks for the inspiration!

i'm gonna have to use that 1 day

Where can I find decent looking silver spray paint?
