    You should add a little clip just before the test film of a mutilated Gary attacking you in retaliation for cutting him up.

    You jumped the axis of sight. How can we trust that you know your way in this stuff if you can't even film correctly?

    Could you give some lipsyncing tips? I have so far found it very difficult to lipsync in any form of animation.

    The real Gary is ok, he just can't make any baby Garys anymore.

  • uhrisuh wrote on December 12, 1:59 am

  • Pepsikirby11 wrote on December 11, 7:19 pm

    The puppet was nice already, now he has a house! Poor Miniature Gary!

  • Walucas wrote on December 11, 6:56 pm

    Every time I watch your podcasts on iTunes there is a Navy commercial whenever there is a break. Do you guys have something to do with this or is it iTunes?

  • Walucas wrote on December 11, 6:53 pm

    But why didn't you take pieces from the real Erik or the real wheel of prosperity or the real admiral srouzzer? huh?

  • Reno411 wrote on December 11, 5:55 pm

  • maguilla wrote on December 10, 9:39 pm

    Glad you've got the Sweeney Todd movie as a sponsor.
    Support BFX and got to watch the movie.

    Dear BFX, Remember the planning of a stop motion sequence, like start, middle and end key frames.

  • Daniel (anon) wrote on December 10, 9:23 pm

    yes... that's right... according to the disclaimer i can really get hurt doing this... hmmm

  • aaaa (anon) wrote on December 10, 8:10 pm

    Hey there Erik, another REALLY good stop motion program that I love and use is Monkeyjam
    http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.com/monkeyjam/download.html
    AND ITS FREE

  • spicysmoke wrote on December 10, 6:55 pm

    The frametheif program isnt free, theres a 30 day trial but you have to buy the real thing

  • The Chosen wrote on December 10, 5:25 pm

    Why couldn't you have equipped Gary with that laser cannon? He coulda taken out that SPD idiot EASILY.

    (Sorry to offend any Power Rangers fans...lol!)

  • UFAlien wrote on December 10, 5:15 pm

    Power Rangers Toys? Well, it works... plus it's funny.

    The fact that you guys advertised for what looks like the best movie ever makes you guys 464352639456 billion times cooler.

  • Weker1 wrote on December 10, 3:59 pm

    See, didnt say a word!
    Allso, The only bad thing I'll say is I didnt like thre MS Mouth.
    Allso it looked great!

  • -toast- wrote on December 10, 3:51 pm

    HOLY SHRINK RAY BATMAN THAT WUZ GREAT!

  • Fireskull wrote on December 10, 3:33 pm

    I thought the stop motion things were cool but episode 2 of how to build the set and the small Gary there is one flaw, you weren't suppose to take Gary's flesh. It's just wrong, you should of got the same fabric that you created him,I mean this in a nice way. I am givin' you my new episode plans,I was thinkin' of a vampire, can ya build one that has a rock starish look?

  • hayden wrote on December 10, 3:27 pm

    Awesome!! This is definately one of your best test films.

  • ringkingstudio (anon) wrote on December 10, 3:20 pm

    Nice Job. Very well done!

  • giro$$ wrote on December 10, 2:43 pm

  • Aspiring-screenwriter-pat wrote on December 10, 2:27 pm

    If thats all you're going to do for the miniatures you promised to do several months ago, people are gonna be pissed. You promised us a miniature city, and its destruction. You even set a date for it a while back.

  • SorcBear wrote on December 10, 1:06 pm

    Get a haircut Eric.

  • Tomas wrote on December 10, 12:45 pm

    Cool test film :)
    But i can't believe Eric could cut the real gary ..
    How could he? it was his best friend!!

  • Justinsuperstar wrote on December 10, 12:51 pm

    I'm sure Gary is just fine, and he cut away from parts you wouldn't normally see.

  • Lord wrote on December 10, 12:29 pm

    Lmao... Nice test film.

  • smartyarty wrote on December 10, 12:12 pm
