  • ah wrote on November 26, 2:37 pm

    COOL so i can make a pulsating pair of testicles for my next movie with this heart effect.

    I didn't really like the test film but you guys must be busy so you can't always make a spectacular one?

  • Justinsuperstar wrote on November 26, 2:57 pm

    Really our goal is to instruct people on how to make an effect they can use to, in turn, make an amazing movie. It should more or less jsut demonstrate how it works in a fun way.

  • Weker1 wrote on November 26, 2:39 pm

    Ha!, Best quick tip ever!
    Loved the heart!

  • Aspiring-screenwriter-pat wrote on November 26, 3:11 pm

    Nice, excellent shape and some very natural looking inflation. Why didn't you cover it in fake blood, or finish it off with some arteries?

  • Reverend Doodle wrote on November 26, 3:19 pm

    haha, i liked this one.
    it seemed like kind of a throwback to earlier episodes.

    when are you gonna do a minatures episode?!?!?

  • Nick (anon) wrote on November 26, 7:48 pm

    can you have a way to rip the heart out?

  • The Future X-Beck wrote on November 26, 7:59 pm

    Classic line "It looks like testicles" LOL

    That being said, what are the chances that next weeks episode could show Steve ripping the beating heart out of someone and eating it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

    Maybe its time for a nice movie spoof.
    Come on IndyMogul... you can do it.

  • Justinsuperstar wrote on November 27, 11:51 pm

    A heart has two major pumping parts to it. Balloons are cheap :)

  • ericanxiety wrote on November 28, 10:40 am

    Okay, who the hell said they are thankful for Death Bed: The Bed that Eats? I thought I was only loser to see that movie!

  • drumsofdoom wrote on November 28, 11:25 am

    you should inflate a balloon just a little, fuse the area right next to the air pocket and cut uff the end of the balloon. Make 2 of those that wont pump but will stay inflated, because the heart has 4 ventricles! then use dark red paint to give it some texture and pour on the fake blood

  • m_kozmava wrote on November 28, 4:09 pm

    can you make an awesome jason vorhees mask

  • dizzy wrote on November 28, 5:38 pm

    I didn't like the test film that much, but great effect!

  • EverydayTodayStudios wrote on January 29, 3:59 pm

    I think it's funny how it looks so cheap in the test film, seeing the hoses and all that.

  • Alexa (anon) wrote on March 13, 1:11 am

  • Alexa (anon) wrote on March 13, 1:40 am
