Indiana Jones and the Budget Crystal Skull

ya i was dissapointed too, i mean it was just stupid when all of a sudden theres a ufo in that mountain

I was actually pretty disappointed by the new indiana jones...

You should do the effect that they did in the third indiana jones movie where that guy morphed into a skeleton kind of thing. I dunno what to call it. Morphing? Melting? Changing?

im freaking out little kids at halloween with the heart rip leg rip and the demon makup and wings

i loved the last indiana jones movie. please make an idea for a gaint blade from the new game prototype :)

also can you show how to break someones arm

the movie wasn't to go but i think your show is host and I'm telling all my friends about and i made the mini gun

Meanwhile Chris was left, possibly driven insane, holding the crystal skull.

well I don't know what to say because all bfx the best I am so amazed at what you have acheeved in bfx but there is one thing I want to ask can you make a motion mocap suite

HEY ERICK AMAZING VIDEO!!! but... never where your hair like that again.

Cool video and nice green screen colored shirt ;-), but sadly I must say, that I hated the new Indy Movie. It was just a waste of time, sorry. Why are there a...s anyway? This just doesn't make any sense to me.

I thought the movie was awesome...right up until that last little part where they should have left it ambiguous, but got too excited over their special effects. It was still a great movie though! And I love this two-part special! :D

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that for about the same price point ( a lb.) you can get alja-safe from smooth-on which works just like alginate but does not shrink, so the problems you had with deformity would not be an issue.

ok u really need to make some kind of star wars thing like a lightsaber or somthing like that

my favorite part of the vid was corrine.

Make it a candle and sell it to Bed Bath & Bizarre! Too bad the film stank. You guys deserve the ten bucks instead..

Hi, It's me again. I have three questions. #1 Where did you get the alginate #2 can you email me back about number one at PIGBARNES@aol.com #3 this isn't really a queastion i Like Indiana Jones too. See Ya pEOPLES

That was the greatest episode of bfx ever

i missed the live Q and Eric :(could you please post it so we can see it ty

hey guys! gues what! on the live q & eric they forgot to press record on a seperate camera for later viewing! they said they did, but it wasnt recording! ha that sucks but its funny too!

Hey indymogul, great episode. just a quick query, cos i liv in the UK i wos unable to watch the live Q and Erik last night, u guys gonna post it, like an original of wot everyone else saw? wud b interested to see how a live show is structured. thanks

So wheres the live show

what time will it be in england when its 7 in NYC?

I never thought of this reason for the name of indy mogul before.

indyana Jones Mogul

what effect did you use for when he was looking at the skull? was it just a filter?

you guys are flying with the fx, doing a great job buena suerte

Honestly current episode was rather unimpressive in comparison with the last weaks one.The "skull" dosen't look even close to what it should like.Seriously indy mogul as your long time fan I must say I am very dissapointed.

I agree with the one above comment, it looks like you didn't properly cure the resin. That stuff does come out super clear AFTER you sand and buff it out. I recommend a dremmel tool to get those tough areas. The air bubbles need to be tapped out and let the resin cure with heat applied. I think that's how it works. You're on to something with the resin. Try something simpler first though, like a cube. I'm sure someone would love to see a Crystal Dagger for some movie. That would be an easier shape.

I loved the first indiana special this one was baddd though the idea it self was not that great, the production/setup is still good though the test film ahhhh bad.

kewl *two thumbs up*

i really need an arc reactor from the new iron man movie. erik can u make one? it needs to be bigger than those dot it lights. I've made a one out of them with a piece of cardboard, but tis tooo small can u help me ? pleaseeeee?

wow i love backyard fx But......

The movie waz AWSOME...so waz the test film!

Erik~ Thanks for the 3-D glasses! Super kewl! You sent me an e-mail, but I've deleted your e-mail address and I need some help MUI PRONTO!! I'm doing an effect that consists of an acid burn. The Director wants smoke coming from the burn. I've considered using dry ice on top of a very thick layer of latex...have any suggestions? Anyone else may respond as well. Send responses to tim_toriadorefilms@hotmail.com I need a response ASAP!! Thanks ~Tim

Indy Mogul, Indiana Jones and Waverly films all together. I do believe that is as nice as a pineapple upside down cake covered in the awesomeness of the universe

it was funny and action packed PIMP'IN

i think that u could have made a better one out of sugar.

Pretty good solution. I think you could drop in to you wax this light up toys from wal-mart the flash lights when you shake them then it will be the light up crystal skull. You know what else would work somewhat. Sand casting glass. You could get a really nice face not sure how you would do the back.

The shape's just great, but the skull still looks like molten candles, not crystal. As for Indy 4, the film was fun and had some terrific moments but nonetheless I prefer the classic trilogy. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull simply felt too rushed, action-packed and the ending with the aliens was rather silly.

This one was pretty disappointing. You admit yourself it doesn't look too good, and it sure didn't come across on film...just looks like a big ball of wax.

Indiana Jones? Aliens? Thats a no go! Beginning was good though

indiana blows, indy mogul not

Great two part episodes on Indy. I thought Crystal Skull was a hell of a lot of fun. It was great finally be able to see an Indy movie in theaters.

oh crap. waverly flams? i love those guys :D

It was good, just too waxy (stupid since it was made out of wax, I know.) but it wasn't crystal enough. The whole psychic taking over was cool though.

you made my week good

in order to use the polyester casting resin, you must mix it carefully. a hot mix ( too much catalist) will make the casting cloudy. Also pour the mix slowly into the mould. Tap the mould to get rid of air bubbles, and fill the mould a little at a time(about one inch) let that cure then add some more.

I hate to be a spoiled sport but for you can buy a real Indy skull at Target.... http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-1/qid=1212462139/ref=sr_1_1/601-3603250-7046521?ie=UTF8&asin=B0017RXZN4&rh=k%3Atoy%5Fskull&page=1

If you have your shoot worked out to the "T" one could use ice! Way more clear. Make sure to boil the water first to get that real clear ice. Careful it MELTS!

How fitting, I come home from the movie to this episode of BFX! The skull looked great although it not being that clear was a bit of a downer, Great job thought!

cool. it did look a little too flat, but overall pretty good. would have been hard to top last weeks bfx. KOTCS was awesome. Seriously, a fun movie, 3rd best in the series.

I always watch, and this is the first time that the project seemed rushed, and the test film seemed to indicate a reticence to show the final product. I am not saying anything more than that I think if you took another work day and put it towards the skull that you would have more faithfully translated your efforts to success.

Hey Eric, why not try and make the crystal skull out of sugar, just melt it over water and use a little of Karo syrup on it, or other clear sucrose or glucose product. Good Luck. (by the way i would make the crystal skull, but i'll make a mess and my mom will kill me!!!)

Nice build. Would there be some sort of clear resin you could slushmold in the skull cavity? I'm not certain.

why did u have 2 go 2 califonia

Hey guys. first of all, im a big fan :D and second, i had an idea about how you could make the crystal skull even better... befor the head dries, stick some LEDs in there, run the wires out, and fix a battery compartment on to the back of the scull. You could make some cool inversions of this, i.e. different colors, flashing, etc. Of course, for this to be possible the skull would have to be transluscent enough to create the cool effect, but you guys are geneouses so im sure you could think of something :D -Matt

A little sad that the skull wasn't crystal clear, but Dobbybabee still is filled with happiness. And chips. After seeing the video. P.S. Dobbybabee says that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the Best. FTW!

Hmm...interesting...I'm not 100% satisfied...but I'd never come up with a better way to build it. O_O

Yay! Indy Mogul Now With 10% More Corrine & Deforest! Love the opening, It was really good!

I thought the new movie was good and the best for NOW it's just hard to believe Harrison Ford can still do these movies like he is old.when it comes to cheap film making indy (mogul) is the best!!!!!

amazing you may have been able to hollow out the center of the wax skull so it will be a little more clear but you will need to be very carefull because it will be delicate of theres this stuff called candle gel? or sumthing gel thet is clear as watter and i think its some what stonger so some one should try it.... ill b first on youtube muwahhahaha

I luv the movie! How did u do the crystal skull effect in the test film?

whoa... the test film was trippy. Why did you have to go to California?

i still cant believe i was the first!

huh its not on my indy mogul RSS feed

INDY MOGUL IS AWESOME

DAMN!I WAS SO CLOSE! ):{
