A CLIP SHOW!!!!!ARE YOU GUYS JUMPING THE SHARK?
Just kidding guys, another great show
lol You just made flash back to the simpsons clip shows.
Hahaha that's brilliant!! you should do more!
Great as always!
Superhero Or Samari prolly have good extra footage, So I say those!:)
I Did like it, I was wondering with Texas thing what this weeks ep would be.
Also if the show isnt a hit you should still post the behind the Mogul Stuff at Vimeo!
Awesome guys! It would be totally great if you guys did the decapitating episode.
They DID do an episode on deacpitation.
are you guys out of ideeas?try making some :) editing :) efects:P
Jeez, dude. Shave already!
Seriously though, I'd love to see Steve trying to get in and out of that robot suit. And anything that shows Eric bleeding!
Leg tear
I enjoy the behind the scenes footage but i was looking forward to a new effect today, i don't think the behind the scenes stuff should replace the weekly effect 'cos now i've gotta wait a whole week, that's a long time for me especially since school sucks so much :P
Cool
I'm tired of this junk. We want props!
it is just great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea...there is alot of extra footage from the ninja fight :P
Oh, and Erik actually needs like 20 takes when he's doing his lines :P
Er...*hides*
you should do a new show not just show parts of an old one.
i'd like to learn more about the BFG9000 test film
pretty damn good!
your beard is funny
Yay that was my poll! Good episode, I like seeing how you guys make stuff.
i do like fake heads
the footage where they put the hair in the tuna can always grosses me out...kinda looks like pubes :p
and I loved this! theres always hilarious bloopers the world should see!
about the sweeney todd's chair
if they did sweeny todd i might appear in the show!!!!
(i visited them when they were building it!)
spaceships, cockpits ect... I liked this, but I thought you would show more about making the head
go back to the looney bin, theres already an episode about that
just watch the episode lol
that sucked, give me some new zombie effects
zombies are so like..5 months ago
That was yet another good episode! thats kinda cool to go back on some episodes...
i think you should combine 2 episodes and have some bloopers in each but... make a test film from those to things (not this but) THe big laser gun thing and fake heads!
THanks indymogul
Michael
they should make more props
hahaha cool
i think u should have a best of the test for the space suit episode
How about doing your first episode?
Breakable glass needs to be redone. Yellow glass? I don't think urine-colored glass works well.
redo the gunshot effect
i say you should have a whole day like tuesday , wendsday or thursday dedicated to "the best of the test"
hey have you heard of the youtube zombichron?
nice 5:00 shadow eric
Yay! this is an AWSOME B-Day!! Thanx, BFX!!!!! You guys PWN the souls of "big-budget" film-makers!!!
erik should grow a beard
hey, anyone know if the "wax" program lets you crop footage, like the clone effect.
yes it does!
click on 'Quick 3D'
my computer is working so fast and i can,t get on request and effect i was wondering if there was any 3d animation programs around well cheaper than 1000 dollars that work
That was awesome! Nice bloopers! lol
What happens if the wheel lands on Trip -2- Jersey? I've been wondering since the first episode..
Reeeee Ruuuuuun!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Are you friggin kidding me? Did people seriously request to see stock footage? Why don't you guys revamp this one like you did the fake hand. I bet if you used the same molding stuff you'd end up with a great fake head.
growin out the beard? Nice. Have justin make the sequel to Mustache Montage about it!
That was really great Erik! I like behind the scenes stuff. I'd like to see the rain machine again and I have a couple of questions about it. I just finished making one and I had hoped to hang it from a C-Stand but it's too heavy. How heavy would you say yours was and do you have any thoughts as to how I could raise it up? Mine must be 30-40 LBS and I don't have a big tree. Also, have you ever made a rain machine using PVC? I'd like to try making one that emulates a professional rain-bar style but I can't find ANY pictures or articles about one. I'd love any help you could toss my way.
~Adam (HUGE FAN!)

What video editing software do u use for the two layer of video clone thing effect. i have jashaka but cant figure out how to do it any tips? plz i rly need clones for a nerf movie!
i use wax 2.0 - download it from debugmode.com :D
I cant download that becuase its for windows, and i have mac. know any good free video editing software for mac that can do two layers of video so i can do cloning effect thanks!
well, this is not what I was expecting- i was hoping for a more sophisticated head prop build- I guess I'll just have to do it myself, tape it, and send it in to you guys.
I would like to learn more about the old man test
I want to know how did you do the laser blastes in the BFG 9000 test film
Great video !
If you are out of idea, can you tell me how to do a fake bearb or mustach

splat
i was see a test film thingy ( im sick and tired sorry lol) of the ninja one
i think that this weeks show was good but would really like to see a gunshot wound and i would like to also learn how to make a light saber on this show so i don't have to speand a lot of money on one.done on this show.i also really like the show i've seen almost every episode twice or three times.
cris sortof sounds gay
yea he is cinda right
Hey I'm making a stop motion flim could you guys maybe show some tips on how to have more light and make chacters out of play doe or clay.
this was a good show
Clown heven LOL
Hey. I wanna see the behind the scenes for the Gian sandwhitch footage!
Although I really appreciate your help in your past episode this is just...crap.
Q & Erik is for goofing about, BFX is for learning effects. Although I love it when you guys go to festivals I wish you'd spend more time on effects beause this is just cutting corners.
There have not been that many BFX episodes so to have a clip show is silly. These blooper shows never work that well and its evidently bad here.
You guys have loads of veiwers and that's great but Indy Mogul is fast becoming a formulaic TV-esque programme so PLEASE go back to effecs. You guys are great to watch but I come on this site to learn about effects not watch how far other people have gone.
awesome video guys! u should also try running 1 of the fake heads over with a car
very true! run a head over with a car!
Dude you rock,
It's so funny
I love the Big F*ing gun clip !WHAT!
peace
That was cool. But I'd Probably want to see more footage on the first Indiana Jones Episode.
*off topic* although you guys did the BFG9000 you guys should make some kinda realistic pistol im guessing it wont be hard 4 u
that was awesome. YOU'RE GOING TO CLOWN HEAVEN!!
