Radio Controlled Camera Pod

by far one of my fav test films!

lighting work is really great in this one! was there really only one shot with the "security" cam? was hoping to see more footage with this rig. maybe next time?

hipo steroids, works every time.. lol

What was the rap music in the beginning of the test film called?

you could combine this and the dolly to make a kick ass camera thing

Hippo Steroids?

There ain't no sound.....

best test film

I LOOOOVE the test film!

this is the best BFX you gus have made! and it was so funny "hippo steroids, works every time." rofl.

I loved the slow mo sections of the scenes, it really added a bit of tension.

WORST BUILD EVER! completely pointless, you can do the same thing by putting your tripod up high so the camera is close to the ceiling and doing steady pans and tilts. Pretty cool test film though.

hey your guys show rock and me and my freinds are trying to make a hulk movie we already have most of the movie done butt we have no ideya how to make us turn big and green and how to make us turn big and have spikes on our back. thank we could relly need the help so thanks.

I'm sorry eric, but you just wasted 48 dollars. I could see a security camera prop, but you don't really need all that to simulate a security camera. Besides, you barely used it in the test film. Funny test film, though.

That was such a Guy Richie test film...I loved it!

awesome test film

It seems like you could buy a old or used pan and tilt mount actually made for cameras, theres a cool rc servo controlled mount for rc plane cameras at rangevideo.com you just need to buy some cheap radio equipment to use it.

Wow, that's an amazing rig. But, unless do you really need a rig like that to get shots? Couldn't your cameraman just make those shots while standing on some ladders or something? I'm confused. :( But the test film is absolutely crazy.

Great job Erik, I gotta say that was certainly the best test film to date. I love the whole guy ritchie "lock stock and two smoking barrels" style. Nicely done.

Amazing! Every video without Justin is good. Every one with him sucks. That guy is seriously a terrible "actor". Even these 9 year olds are better. I agree with everyone else that the amount of energy/time that went into this for a 1-2 sec shot really isn't worth it, in my opinion.

What camera did U use shooting the slow mo shots? Was it in 30 fps or 60 fps?

Best test film in a while, Hippo steroids. . .

how did you make those effects with the flying money and game pieces look so dynamic, the money in the air looks like professional work

Would love to see video

That was the best test video yet I think, not to mention the episode of course!

that test film.......my word best shots, the security shots were only the icing on top to make it look better

Great test film Mr. Beck. Who's kids were they?

that was cool.And when they showed the guys playing the little kid games then erik got punched and the money flew up into the air in slow motion.

that's what i'm talking about! thanks. you could probably do the same thing just by putting someone on a stepladder in the corner, but do you think you could put this on the jib arm thing?

that was quite honestly the greatest test film ever. behind the scenes?

This belongs on weekend extra...

nice work, but the only thing i dont get is why would you use this insted of just having someone hold the camera up there?

Wow, really slick test video this time around. Very professional.

Not to bash Indy Mogul, and I do love them, but this was a pretty useless episode. Not only did you only see 2 seconds total of the actual footage shot with it, you could have EASILY pulled off this by putting your tripod to its highest length or sanding on a chair with the camera over your head. This was just a "Rube Goldberg" for a simple effect. Not to mention, he actually went over budget to pull off just a simple effect that could have been done with a chair or ladder.

yea, great episode! hungry hungry hippos was one of my fav games as a kid.

Best movie to date, in my opinion. Fun, great angle, editing, etc. Good story too!

DEFINATELY the best test film to date. great job guys.

Nice (and funny) video but you hardly showed the rig being used. I suggest to shoot a 'crime scene' while the security cameras pick it up. And of course, use the rig foe the security cameras.

Well at least this wasn't another advertisment for Sweeney Todd.

BEST TEXT FILM EVER!!!! WELL I THINK IT IS BECAUSE I LOVE ACTION TROUBLE MOVIES BUT ITS SO AWSOME!!!!! BEST ONE!!!!! MAKE MORE LIKE THESE!!!!

This episode soothed the devil inside of me. No more voices in my head calling for the brutal, slow and painful torture of Erik. Good freaking job guys.

This has to be the BEST flick you've shot so far! Very well done! You must have used one of your 'FANCY' cameras to shoot the slo-mo right?

awesome test film

Make this a 2 part special. Make a way to maybe use a wireless hookup or something to download the live footage to a laptop or a moniter of some sort. this is just a suggestion. because that would be really cool if you were shooting a scene from like a cat burglar hiest and needed a ft security gaurd eating donuts and falling asleep when he's supposed to be watching the screen. lol

dude winning a game of monoply is not esy

Thats Awesome!

That is probably your best test film, I loved it!

crazy yo!

best epidode ever, the short movie at the end was totally kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

kindof a waste of time and money, when you can just have someone hold the camera up to the ceiling, using a chair or something and film :/

yeah next time hold the screw to guide stupid

he waishes

Ha Erik When were you on TV?

lmao amazing test film

Oh, I forgot to mention, you earned yourself 30 cymbal monkey bucks for that build. That'll buy you a box of cookies at the dollar store.

COOLIOO!!!! Thats awsome dude. My only objection is that the wheel of prosperity is RIGGED! 2 reasons y i think so: 1 it NEVER lands on trip to jersey, 2 at that angle, the arrow wud always point down!!!!!!

You might be a hippo man, but you'll lose to my refined Stratego skills! Excellent build though and it's cool to see the proffesional quality of your stuff improving over time.

love it i really want to make one

BEST TESTFILM EVER !!!

That was the best BFX Episode i gotta tell ya. Also that was the best looking Test film to date. so amazing

awesome short film!

Hey guys thats what I am talking about. Eric you always have something really interesting and innovative. The test film was fricken awesome. that was genius!

Great job on the r/c camera skit. Looked great.

Hahaha, very nice!

HIPPO STERIODS!!!!

Best test film to date!

Looks awesome, too bad it could never hold my XL2. haha. btw, i think this is your best test film. the lighting and angles are perfect along with makeup. Really nice job.

Erik do you feel special...Beating those kids at a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos

this is gonna be usefull

What was the effect title? bat tv or bad/ where do I find it on the effects menu

love, love, love! I can't believe how indy mogul has grown love those kids too!

like everyone else has said .. best test film to date ... wow...

great test film...awful structure of camera pod though, definitely not the best design

Best BFX Movie EVER!!!! Great stuff!

BEST TESTFILM EVER!!!!

I think that test film was better than 21! And i mean that in a good way- AWESOME test film

This was the best test film of them all!!! You should do a BFX of BFX! Show us what goes into each episode!!!

Great Job! I detect a slight Guy Ritchie Influence there. Just add more footage from your camera rig next time,

amazing test film

I'd have beaten you at hungry hungry hippos Beck!

There wasn't really a lot of footage in the test film to let you know how well the rig worked. Other than that, the short looked really smick. Your film making is improving out of site. Now, do i have to put first in here?

Awesome job Erik. Just...awesome. I can't belive you guys only have 10000 subscibers on YouTube. Indy Mogul is *tears up* amazing...

Holy crap! really great, and the test movie was the Best "movie looking" so faR! ;: D

Best test film ever.

whoa! Great Test film! who were the kids?

Great episode. I loved the test film. Funniest one yet. But it got me thinking. Perhaps you can just make a camera mounted on an RC car

LOL "ill let mikey play operation on your guts"

Loved the test film! See Eriks Not immortal, Unless thats what he want's us to think! I'm ON TO YOU BECK!

W00t! First! Wow. this is the best bfx EVER! Thankyou Erik!
