    Try and find the hidden Gary face I added SOMEWHERE in the episode.

  • Doodles Moose wrote on February 11, 1:03 pm

    I found the hidden Gary head!!! Woooh! It's in the background during the shopping list. I'm using my puppets as aliens or Galiens in a movie short i'm making. I made a puppet with a growing/shrinkin eyball, looks kinda gory. Erik, you should totally do an episode with some freaky aliens that have strange features. Also, Erik, accept my friends invite on facebook. Be my friend....

    OMZ! My boyfriend is binging on cheeseburgers and watching Klingon pr0n! WTF?! The next time he's on shore leave he is getting it!!!

  • ugman77 wrote on February 11, 2:50 pm

    im confused about the quick tip...

  • drweir wrote on February 11, 2:58 pm

    Excellent work Erik! As I too am building a suit at the same time as you were, mine is slightly different but we both opted to go with ainter's suits. I sprayed mine silver and added aluminum tape to sections similar to yours. I also sewed on a flag patch that I picked up at Wal-Mart. I'm still working on the gizmos and life support systems so you're way ahead of me. The helmet should look fantastic though so I look forward to seeing what techniques you used to make yours. To infinity and beyond!

  • pat (anon) wrote on February 12, 5:34 pm

    Looks pretty good. It really reminds me of Planet of the Apes. I'm not sure which one, but it reminds me of it.

  • StupidPictures wrote on February 12, 5:49 pm

    It looks like a white Half Life Suit

  • movieman7 wrote on February 12, 7:32 pm

    i noticed that for the greenscreen erick used a bunch of junk for his footage. Like the thing the space man was working on was a toy lightsaber. look closely.

    Where did the "ping" go? I liked the "ping" at the shopping list!

  • Galactic Productions (anon) wrote on February 13, 8:02 pm

    Hey, thanks guys for actually taking the spacesuit request from me! Our first movie "A Cosmonaut Story" should be up on youtube within a couple months. Unfortunately that movie is going to have the crappy spacesuits I made before I sent the request. Either way, thanks! I'll be sure to use this process for the next space film I make!

  • dragonforce 002 wrote on February 13, 9:22 pm

    i wonder if a can make a stormtrooper suit the same way

    Hey Erik!
    "Where does he get all his wonderful stuff?"
    Where do you junk shop, dude? What did you use to fabricate your miniature set?(airlock)Is the ship's commissary a miniature or is it a picture of a redressed real interior? Is that the 5 gallon bucket helmet(How did you make?!?) from the spaceship webisode? (Nerd Alert!)By the way, Gary shows up in the background of the rope and glove stills of the shopping list.
    Keep up the good work!
