Sweeney Todd Special: How to Create the Barber's Chair
As fans of Tim Burton we couldn't pass up this challenge to create the barber's chair from his new movie Sweeney Todd. To make this awesome film prop we have the low budget of $40! No big studio cash around here, just a creative know how for making video look better than your amatuer home made movies.
Can you DIGG it? I knew that you could!

Uh-oh! You guys have'nt added it to Digg.com. I wanted to Digg it!
http://digg.com/movies/Sweeney_Todd_s_killer_barber_chair_recreated_for_under_40_2
Nice! Just like last monday, and the monday before that, I'm home on a snowday. This was really cool, I'll probably make a whole movie based around it.
eh. i think the best thing to take from this is a basic tutorial on upholstery. so that's pretty cool. but other than that, i don't know, maybe you coulda done the throat slit or a cheap corsette or somethin. finding a similar chair would be difficult, and it's uses are minimal.
still a good job. shows a lot of ingenuity. so all in all, a good episode, just not THAT useful
fake poo and fake eye balls
Check out the blog, a fake eye was made recently.
make
Well now I know how to reupholster furniture! Thanks guys!
sweeny erik lol!!
This episode puts the "Indy" in "IndyMogul"!
Nice Job
I was first to digg it.. Yay me..
It's so odd that Erik can pull off that look.
Good job guy's!
Not my fav. dudes!!
not my fav...
lol
cool! I can't think of a use for it right now but it may come in handy later
I loved the episode and thought that Erik and Justin were great together, but one thing: where is the viewer voice mail? and I thought that you were going to continue with the quick tip at the end
It should be in Q and Erik - we kept this one shorter since it was a sponsored episode, worry not!
nice
omg cant waiiiit for it to come oout.
about that used stuff place and that junk store, where in Brooklyn is it?
1st one was on like driggs and n. 11th, second was around starr and st. nicholas, off the jefferson stop on the L train.
I first read that as "Barber's Hair" ha!
You're ads suck. The Navy one is just annoying. The sweeney todd one sucks too. You're so is awesome otherwise.
p.s. I'm not a hater.
none of your videos are in mp4, well some or them are, but only two or three, not everyone that can play video on a device has an iPod you know! Other than that, great show, I watch it the day
it comes out sorry pressed enter
indy mogul:
i need to know how to make cheap big guns
like AK47's and M16 without spending a crapload on replicas
but i still need them to look real
Well this must be my favorite one since I am a huge fan of both Tim Burton and the Sweeney Todd musical. This chair is not only practical for DIY videos that anyone feels like making but for anyone preforming the show on which the movie is based on. Thanks Erik!
"His needs were few, his room was bare:
A lavabo and a fancy chair"
Hey, if you have been going to digg lately I bet your wondering the same thing I am. How can something NSFW get to be at the top of digg, and something as awesome as indy mogul never even make it to the front page...Its sooo gay.
Is there some way we can have this video not automatically play when we go on the homepage?
Not one of your best. Sorry.
Anyone else notice someone was hiding behind the chair to hold it up? haha
hey Eric i dunno if u got my message before so I'll say it again i was wondering if u could use this question on Q and Eric. i was wondering what was the name of the sound on the free sound project off of the episode with the kick ass laser cannon? and i was wondering if u could use these ideas for BFX. 1.do a whole Gansta scene with your buddies and use whole bunch of explosions and props. then like tell us how u did it all like what props did u use,what program ext.... that would be awesome 2.do a whole star wars scene and tell us what programs because like i would love for u to do a show with a light saber with out using adobe after effects like something like that. it be much better if u made a prob that could do the whole light saber glow and stuff it be much easier.+ with people who cant afford adobe after effects it be easier on them.also could u do the thing that lighting comes out your fingers and burn marks on the wall. 3.do a car chase scene that would be cool with guns and explosions of course that would be a kick ass show. 4.music video 5.how to do the whole Bourne Supremacy camera views those were pretty good camera angles.made it look like u were right there when the film took place. 6. 50 caliber sniper rifle. i need a good looking sniper rifle for my upcoming film+i don't know what kind of camera angle its called but when a guy looks through the scope and the camera makes it look like u are looking right through the scope. anyway i hope any of these ideas help u Eric if u need any more ideas just email me at zanderkilby@hotmail.com i hope i can help anyway ttyl

kool
it should have been higher to get a better effect
I know someone named Erik Beck. He's a computer nerd. He was in my 8th grade media productions class.
EIRK CHANGE IT BACK TO THE OTHER VIDEO FORMAT SO I CAN WATCH PLZZZZZZZZ CAUSE I REALLY ENJOY YOUR SHOW ITS HEPLED ME SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please make the video non-auto-start. That is so unbelievably annoying. I used to check the site regulary for updates and comments, but its become so annoying.
I always have to find the darn player on the page an pause the episode I have already seen screaming through my sound system very loud (as I am usually listening to music). It really spoils the fun of visiting your site. I even consider removing you from my linklist and maybe watch the iTunes-Podcast. Well I might miss things, but at least its not annoying the crap out of me.
Apologies we are looking into the problem and trying to fix - it is a new player and still has a couple of bugs! don't remove us from your link list!!! :)
1. How is the auto-play annoying? Just press the pause button!!!!
2. Ever heard of a video converter????? If you can't play the videos, download Quicktime or some other codec that plays it. Otherwise download a converter. Avidemux is HQ and PSP Video 9 might work well if you've got a PSP. The amount of free software out there is amazing, you just gotta search.
Glad to hear it. :-)
I'd hate to remove you. It's always a lot of fun watching you guys.
this advertisement was good.
Oh did i say advertisement?
I meant Indy mogul episode *cough*
I can't believe you guys got sponsered by Sweeney Todd!You are sooo lucky! And you remade that incredible beautiful chair!! Great episode you guys! I look forward to the next one (and Sweeney Todd the movie!)
the thrift shop on starr! live near there!
NO...NOT THE GOLDEN COMPASS!
SAVE YOURSELF...
THE CRAPPY STORY AND FUZZY BEARS WILL ROT YOUR BRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
:|
but maybee thats just me
hhaa...woops
i just reliased i posted my previouse comkmment on the wrong video...
my bad
-embarrased look-
BUT IT STILL STANDS!
I am asking how to cut something from video to anther video
Like I shot tow videos one of me the another for man walk on the street
I want to cut the man and put him in the another video
Plz tell me how to do it and witsh program do it
I really like your show, but this was kind of a dumb episode. Really, why would someone want to recreate a barbers chair that has already been used in a movie? I guess you could use it in a parody of sweeney todd or something, but still...
hahaha wow that was a great test film...Very good for the chair :D
how do you get them to slide back?
cool im so going to watch sweent todd
yay! i just got back from seeing Sweeny Todd and it's very good, so go see it
p.s. eric=awesome
i like pie
Hi! This video made me laugh, but I have a question. My high school is doing Sweeney Todd and I was wondering if you had tips on re-creating the chair, with a minor adjustment: the victims slide feet first instead of head first. Any help would be appreciated!
yes!!! first comment
hey erik i saw the broadway show and when sweeney cuts the throat and i kikepen chalange you erik beck to do a blood sqirting razor unles you are scared
lol, I love it!
you should do the throut sliting like in sweeney todd because i need that FX for cheep !!!
Man, it isn't loading
this show was kinda weird
how can i make the chair not swing back untel i want it to?
the chair aurimaticly falls back. how do i fix this? in otherwords: how do i make a stand?
