Gunshot Effect

I think this is how you make a sqwib you need plastic wrap,storage tape,scissors,and fake blood. make the size you want out of the plastic warp then put tape on all the sides acsept one. then put the blood in the space you left. Tape that side and there you go. this is a estimate so don't get mad at me Erick. please read this I want to help.

I am having BIG problems, i have no idea about the valve adapter, I have one, but it doesnt look like it does on here, is the adapter attached to a bike valve then screwed into the PVC, im really confused, please help

Just what I was looking for. Thanks fellas.

It works great but I got all the parts for a mere $10.23!!!!

can u make a realistic gun looking effect for cheap

indymogul

OMG ive just found a website that has valves, pvc tubes and pvc parts go to http://www.spudtech.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=13 Lots of other stuff but this is the valve page

I love this effect but i think that you should use a little less blood cos the it looks more realistic Lovin the shows

Where can you get the tubes?

how do you send requests?

can you make the fallout 3 pipboy for cheap and make it look good

I am genuinely surprised at just how effective that is.

where can i get the song from the part when he says ''you son of a b***h''?

hey erik can you replicate scissorhands

wtf is apoxy???

dear erick, i need a cool cheap armor like a storm troopers. so if u could plz look into that and i think u shiould make the assassins creed hidden knife prop. please help ur friend, tylercombs & dalton jones

hey can you redo this show but for multiple gunshot wounds, as if it were a fire fight an someone got shot by a halo assault rifle

You killed him for nothing! The sandwich was ruined!!

can i use cotton balls to plug up the tubing? or somthing else? PLZ RPLY PLZZZZZ

this is the best site ever a tv director used it so he could make a low budget effect. http://www.thissitez.webs.com/

can you guys make a face explosion?

It's a great effect! I'll use it!

he kinda sounds like he has a hangover in the end

um yeah i have seen most episodes butt i never seen a trip 2 jersey what does that mean someone answer

is there one that shows how to make gun fires?

I'm a 3D Digital Graphic & Paint Artist Luv all the Tips & Tricks videos... looking for Blue or Green screen FX Thanks guy P@ul

Hey you guys are great. but i have another idea for this build. When you attach the bottle to the the pvc pipe, you should have a 1/2 inch slide to 1 inch female adapter so you can just screw on the bottle instead of all of the epoxy.

if your still going to try replicate movies could you try to replicate the part in Stephen Kings Misery where she breakes his ankles

Looks like a great idea...

It's pretty hard to learn Fx stuff in Costa Rica, you guys are wath we have prayed for

Stealing Eijit's suggestions are his deal, but dude, lay off the chronic.

Aww... poor sam'ich.

I have a challenge for u hows about u do a Freedy Kroger Scene and rip om one open......hope you do if not ill do it and put it all over the Internet

You can also use a bug sprayer. It has its own pump and works well. And for God sake get a new one they will run you about 8 to 10 dollars. Wouldn't want to kill your self with some old pesticide. But basily the same rig.

DUDE!!!! I did this and it worked!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Guys Are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ALWAYS look forward to your next Indy Mogul Show! This is probably one of my favorite effects!

you can also use the soda bottle for a spud gun

Dear Indy i love Bfx i am a new filmmker i work on JVCHD110 and final cut 5 i am from Afghanistan i want to shot a film in Afghanistan it is a story of Taliban i want to know if you can help i need help with Gunshot i can pay some Money but not alot Thanks i am in San Diego here is my phone (619)454-7882 any help Thanks ?

yeah right

would this work with small 20 oz bottles? i have to do a ceasar skit for school and it would awesome if i could do this does it work with 20 oz bottles? doesnt ceasar get stabbed 5 times?

can you please send me the list of what all that stuff is?

Erik i did a similar setup but mine requires much less undoing pieces and i found to be about 5 dollars cheaper than yours if you would like i can make a video of myself putting it together. Also one downside well it depends if you are looking for a little or a lot of gore but my set up shoots about a cup and a half full of fake blood also i use pieces of sponge and string to simulate the multiple parts that fall out after a gun shot!

can you guys tell me a cheap and easy effect to replicate muzzle flashes

hi there, i was looking for the recipie for homemade stipple latex on the blog and didn´t find. could you send it over to me, please? clara

oh my gosh you are awesome

this is a realy great website its one of best sites ive been on ive only been on five minutes and ive got so much written down

i loved this one you might want to do more with the whole zombie and robots or even do a robot vs zombie clip it would be funny to see what you can do with more than one person...lol well i was going to ask if you ever did a old man and shot him just for fun and watch him fall in full make up...thats funny....

Hey, I was watching how you guys made your gun shot wounds not bad but can I give a suggestion? The blood was too liqidy try adding about a teaspoon of flour to get it thicker. I only wanted to give that suggestion and ask if you can try to make the Cursed Pirates from Pirates of the carribean Iknow it is all digital but Iwas wondering if you could at least try. Thank you, Jonathan L. King

how about multiple gunshot wounds? how do we do that? do we have to make 1 for each wound? thx in advance =D

finally got that bike pump valve, if any of you live in virginia beach you can get them at Taylor's hardware.

hey erik or anyone thats knows the answer. i have everything for the rig, and i built the rig, but i cant use it cause i dont know where to get that bike pump part. where DO you get that peice.

I just would like to inform some of you guys that the blood does kill grass...there is brown spots all over my yard from using it...

I dig the Donald Trump "YOU'RE FIRED" hand movement.

that be funny if you could repleckat a ball shot wound lol

This stuff is awesome. You need to do one on how to make an exploding head. Now that would be sick.

Very nice stuff :) I've been wondering is it possible to make a very terrifying ghost? I know your style is to make people laugh (and it works) but I want to make a movie that will scare the shit out of everybody. It will be at low light conditions, with some computer graphics maybe. Think about it. It would make a great episode ;)

Cool effect dudes. Gunshots are cool. But suppose I wanted a stab wound, or cut wound. How would I go about slicing wrists without really inflicting serious harm on the actor? Anyways you should do a segment of slashing and stabbing effects. Danke schon

Probably the most useful effect so far. I like it. Great job.

There is a good chance you will stain a light colored shirt. So get some cheap clothes at a garage sale or thrift store.

Will it stain on bright colored shirts? Like light blue for example

i just started high school and i am really interested in making films. I was wondering what the big proffesional movie equiment is called. could you do a show about movie equipment?

to...who ever will listen i am making a VERY LOW BUDGET zombie movie with a camera that sucks, its basicly a camera for home videos any ways i really need help can you please make a movie about heads exploding or melting faces love, Dominique

For awesome explosion effects, check out these guys ... http://www.indymogul.com/post/498/

can you make an explosion because i have seen all the video's on here and Veoh, and they are very good. It would help my movie. Thanks

where is breakable glass at!?

Also like Spethmannl asked.. i have no idea how to use that Green Screen... Well i'm still a learning "filmmaker" but atleast i know how to use that..

SUPER!! THX!!

Hey ur videos are awesome. Ive been watching ur videos lateley here in germany VIA itunes. ive been wondering if you could show or tell me how to make and use a greenscreen, do I need some sort of program for that??

Delicous.

Hey, your awesome, I would like to know of any good green screen software for a low price. just e-mail me if you can tell me anything. thnx.

Hi Erick, Well I just want to say that I like your podcast and I hope you can show us how to make camera FX Moves and stuff like that. Thanks

Nicely done. This outta help me a lot, especially with all the zombie and ninja movies I plan to do. Thanks for this.

Do you add the blood at the hose after you've pumped the air into it and capped it?

A great way of making 'fake sets' is to use a green screen. Otherwise things get confusing and expensive!

oh weather would b cool 2 like that one guy said

first off this show rocks, ive been waiting for a free online show 2 help all of us future directors, but i challege the guys at backyard fx to do a show on how to make cheap and easy sets, like castles, futuristic hallways, space staions, planes, and stuff, so we can shoot in places that look real

I couldn't tell you were sick

OMG, that is sooooooooo sweet. I just need to find the plumbing parts and apoxy and my best freind is goin down. LOL. I also got a chalenge. I wanna see how to make an explosion. PLZ this would really be helpful.

The flash was post production people. It looks like a simple, but effective full screen fast flash. By the way great video, I designed a plan for an adaption of this! Also, please make a video on how to make fake snow, make a raining rig, and other weather effects. Thank you.

Hello, love the videos. It's helping me a lot. I am making a war/comedy series and I was wondering if you could do a video about how to make it look like bullets are hitting the ground around the actor and some grenades? Thanks so much! Awesome stuff!

Hey guys, I've seen you make put characters but, I "challenge" you yo make something that has animatronic qualities for lets say under $120 bucks (giving you the benefit of the doubt that parts may be pricy). I'd love to see you guys do it!!

me and my friends are trying to make a funny video, where we get on of us to dress in this devilish costume, and stand under a streetlight. we want to freak people out. is there any way tou could maybe replicate like a fireball that you can hold in your hand(even if your using a glove, its still good.)

You're never going to want to risk your clothes. Best to get ones from Goodwill for very cheap and potentially ruin them instead of something you wear all the time!

Does it stain your clothes?

how do you make a gun that fires like realy i need it for my movie gunfire URGENT

Great vids so far, liked the zombie one especially. Here's some ideas, how about gunshot effects or exploding heads (with melons?), although both seem a little hard or messed up. Maybe knife stabbing or fake bodies for a hit and run scene.

Dude.. I also saw the other movies you made and i have to say... You're awesome... it really rocks... Good job (Y)

I dare You to Try ro Replicate 300

i was woundering where the fake blood rests before you use the effect, does it stand in the hose?

oh yeah... I don't actually need that train-diving-over-cliff-thing... i just want to see what ya'll can do. (in case that was unclear)

I have a challenge for you. Do you think you could try to recreate the scene in "Back to the Future Part 3" in which the train takes a dive over the cliff and explodes? I know they used a 1/4 model in the actual movie. But what do you think you can do? Sorry I don't have the clip for you. BTW I love your stuff, and it's totally awesome. Good luck!

omg ur effects r awsome! but could u make 1 on how 2 make a human kite thing XD

cool videos

u guys rock i think it would be the best if u guys make a thing from the movie black hawk down, with all the blood and gore.

real helpful

You guys should get a full time weekly show on TV, this is the best ever. Nice!

This is great! You guys are the answer to my no-budget filmmaking prayers...Ok I didnt really pray but you're really helpful. Check out the movie I did for the 48 hour film competition to see are backyard f/x version of scar tissue. (hint its in the bathroom scene) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt1D1D9R9OU

you guys rule! im definatly gonna use this

This was awesome Erik! Looks like you have finally exploded on YouTube! *thumbs up*

That was kool

cool!! I'll use It in my next short movie!!! Thanks Indy...!

Awsome man. I'm going to use this in one of my shots I'm taking in my yard.

AH! Thats what a squib is... Don't worry about answering it now on YouTube for me. But anyway, this is awesome! I cannot wait to shoot my friends and have their blood just splurt out and NOT kill them! ...not like I've ever shot my friends before...DAMNIT!

This is very well done, as are the rest of the episodes. I'm pretty happy that someone is doing something like this in plain English! you win.

i was just wondering, if you wanted a more squirting effect what would you do? My only guess is use a thinker "blood" or maybe pump the rig less.

Cool. My challenge to you. Make one of those that creates a similar effect on bare skin.

it was great to meet you guys at pixelodeon, you guys are awesome...

damn now that i watch the video again, i notice you did have a flash. well were the hell can i get one of those guns at?

hey i have an idea for you! No, forget that it is a challenge!!! To complete the clip in this episode where the guy gets shot over some mustard, it would be awsome to rig some kind of flash on the end of the barrel. And i dont want to hear no special effect crap, a real flash and even a bang, although i would edit over the bang with a real gunshot, so the bang is not that important. you can e-mail me at ImSublime4Starcraft@yahoo.com if you figure something out let me know.

Glad everyone likes the pilot. I actually improved the bloodshooters later on and that design is represented in the "How to" blog post, so check it out. Can you tell I was sick? Shooting this episode went pretty much like this. [gross cough] "Action" [stumbles through lines] "cut" [more gross coughing] repeat!

OMG! You guys are absolute special effects legends! I was getting to the stage where I was going actually shoot my actors for gunshot effects...

Great Dude Realy Great Tell All My Friends About Your Site, Thank www.ProMonkey.Net

This video was so cool! I'm gonna make one!

Thank you so much for this! You guys are awesome! Really helpful!

I'v been watching your videos and I thought they were very cool and creative.
