You guys that keep saying it wasn't realistic.... use some creative freedom.... I think he just wanted to get the basic idea out for us to build from. Plaster walls used horizontal slats. I think using a sheet of 1/4 drywall would work better also, 1/2 might actually hurt.

This is going to be very useful in our movie, but where can you buy 4'8 chunks of foam board?

This is awsome but my idea was why not do the same thing where u smash thru but make it into like 12 peices so when you smash thru its more realestic and make it look a little more like your person k? any way that was great

hey indymogul can you make fake bullets

Can you make a machine gun with a clip that can come out?

Hulk Smash!

can u make a hunter from left 4 dead

Was that the good samaritan from hellboy?

Nice Jurassic Park and King Kong references in the test film.

why is the puppet wearing a monkey suit

Nice idea, and quite a good plan (similar to what i was planning...) but it justs looks too fake/cartoonish... The ready cut shape... not sure how you could improve that... also, the fact that it was a clean smash was kinda fake... most of it would probably stay attached slightely or something... How much is a couple sheets of plasterboard anyway...? 10, 20 dollars...?

Hey, I have an idea for a way to improve your wall. When you are doing the front instead of cutting out one big jagged piece cut out a bunch of small ones so it looks more realistic and the pieces fly everywhere, cool right?

It's cheaper and more realistic is you just buy one or two drywalls from Home Depot or Lowes or wherever since they are usually around like $5 each and get a jigsaw and carve into one side but not through completely and make some gashes and whatnot. It'll make the drywall weak enough o break through with no problems and noone gets hurt. I know cause we dd that for our short film Jake's Revenge and ti came out great.

Dude that monkey is just creepy.

yay for monkey

to lazy to build

Good principals, but the effect wasn't very realistic. The zig zag edges were unrealistic as was the single piece which came out. In the future you might want to try rigging the section to come out in several pieces and have some additional assorted debris come out of the wall.

Nice, but studs go verticly through a wall but you put them horizontally

that monkey had the good samaritan

Nice job with the wall and funny video as always. Actually the biggest laugh I got out of this which most might miss is when you said to "cut your 1x3's to form a basic frame then measure and cut again." I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right. LOL.

wow that is crazy you guys can build a wall! do you think you guys could build somthing a bit bigger like a phonebooth?

in a futer episode, you guys should make admeral bananas tell us its a trap that would be way funny

Can you make a special effects dinosuar look like its eating a guy?

evil monkeys! Question,could you do the same effect,but instead,use foam blocks?Or would it not look as good?

PPPLLEEAASSEE make an alien like on alien vs predator

attack of the gorilla! lol!

can you suggest any?

i need a good editing software that you can put clips on top of eachother and use green screens but i dont have very much money at all

OMG tht was great!!! Jared is awesome and i luv when steve directs; fav line: "Good god man you are a f***ing moron!"

a few weeks ago i put a better design idea in the forum

What?! I requested this too! You guys are-

I'm curious, could you have done this with one sheet of dry wall instead? You use a single sheet, painted on either side to match the environment, and score (pre-cut, but not all the way through) where the actor will go through. All the dust that comes out with the actor really sells the effect, and then there isn't the jagged cut out laying there with you. I'll concur about the stud frames. Houses built after the seventies use drywall (or sheet rock it's sometimes called) and the slats on the side were unnecessary. Maybe something like short lengths of wire or dust would be better. I'll also agree that the cut out section could have used some more sectional cutting. But I could be way off my rocker on that one. Test film was awesome. I've been watching you guys since the beginning and I love what you do for the independent film maker. 4 Minute Film School suggestion: How framing the shot off level, in close, far out, or panning can enhance the emotional response and other story elements of a film.

I liked the test film a lot! :) Very funny! Is the gorilla a pun? I imagined a sequel of the test movie, called: Planet of Apes: Gorillas Invasion It's about an emerging gang of killers, wearing gorilla suits, soon after Planet of Apes is becoming popular (either 1969 or 2001?). Initially, people are in panic and think they are aliens :D because the costumes are armored and never a "goriila" has been killed. :-P

STUDS ARE VERTICAL NOT HORIZONTAL!!!! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I loved this video. This was the only effect that I couldn't figure out how to do. IndyMogul rocks!!!!

can you mak a glass smash through wall please

yes! i needed a car to crash through a wall! thank yooooou!

...i requested this too... u didnt mention me in the video :( oh well

i realy liked that one. could you on safe braking glass

love the monkey being a drummer and all

Eric Beck's constant pointless hand motions make me want to kill somebody.

great test vid!

sorry, i forgot to mention that the gun i've mentioned is from hellboy

could you please show how to make a ''big baby'' gun for cheap

i hope to god you read this, now you have done a chainsaw hand and wes did a tut on a gauntlet, i have one more evil dead 2 request, in the scene when ash cuts off his hand, how do u make a severed hand crawl across the floor, it looks cool but must be exstremly difficult and i know its not stop motion

Hey Steve, NIce line "Cleva Girl" which was off of Jurassic Park where the park ranger gets hunted by the Raptors...Nice film though:)

I'm seriously going to get one of those for my film club, maybe 2! Have a bunch of crazy people break through walls all at once. You think this effect could also work for ceilings and floors?

I've been trying to find one of those cymbal monkeys for years. Could you E-mail me as to were you bought it? Thank You.

that fuckin' cool guys. keep up the good work.

Agree with Rambow702! I'd to see how to make a Joker thug mask, too!

I must confess I only watch you guys because of your test films... aaand because I could sit all all day watching people making stuff. This test film is one of the funniest so far. Keep up the great work!

HA!! 1933

I want that gun. Did you guys make it yourself?

Once again Jared is the scene stealer. I think Jared deserves his own indy mogul T-shirt.

that was awesome but my friend rockstar341 and i are making a batman movie and i want indymogul to make an episode on how to make your own joker thug mask. please make an episode. here is a link to see what i would like the mask to look like--http://api.ning.com/files/3SLkIqSVKznIV6mj5zVdy-1iJKrllj0tNmRpCQgQBxw_/Forest.jpg

Your Idea for a smashing wall is ok, but if you dont mind i would like to show yall how i make mine.

did anyone else catch the king kong reference

Aw man, $25 bucks for a t-shirt, you guys are awsome and all, but not $25 dollar t-shirt awsome. unless you through in the clapping monkey

Sweet!

I tried downloading this episode but i was able to

Awesome. I must have a revolver toting gorilla in my movies now.

this episode was epic!! great build great test film finally, a mogul store!!!!

Great episode guys. Thanks ps, get ready to sell some shirts.

If you guys really don't like the effect you can just really throw your actor through a real wall! Nah don't, just you a thinner material like paper and add layers and if that doesn't work through a dummy through the fake wall, just way him down with stuff and chuck him, and you really only need to get the effect of him smashing through the wall others you can cut the scene where you get the reaction shoot of your real actor falling. But still you guys did a great effect

Gota Be Honest Loved the effect But the Jagged hole just didn't sell it for me. I get that the Test Film(Love the JP Line)was supose to be funny but it was just a bit cartoonie. Couldn't a thin Plaster wall Honey Combed(Many little holes in it that are only visable close up) Work well and be jump throughable with out the aid of cutting? Another Victom Of The G-Rage...Poor PE...

Awesome episode! Good build. It was very useful. Admirla Bananas was hillarious, and the camio by the Samaritan was cool too.

Nothing went rong for me! Full vid played

BEST ENDING EVER Loved the JP reference, gotta go check that movie out again!

the video keeps getting stuck at the zune arts commercial :(

ha, nice Jurassic Park reference

Great Episode. Anyone else catch a Boondock Saints vibe from it?

Nice King Kong reference in their.

I've made a break away wall before all you need is a bunch of old shoe boxes a sponge some paint and card board. First paint all of your shoe boxes like bricks then take your card board and make it look jagged in the middle and do it again to another piece tape them to each side of a door way then film a real wall then film a close up of the fake one breaking away and then shoot your actors reaction.

I need a cool plastic bag choking effect for cheap. How do I do that?

Hell yes great show gentelman and congrats on the Merch, ill be plaving my order son hopefully. Peace

Haha. Awesome show guys! The effect wasn't amazing (I mean, the whole wall chunk came out. It should have been lightly cut into smaller chunks, but we get the point). The test film was awesome! Great job Steve!

yeah, it won't play for me either. Tried two different browsers, numerous times. I hope the youtube verision'll work. bai

I hope admiral bananas becomes a regular part of the show

Now its not even playing the start :0 NOOOoooo....

The video is stuck when hes looking at the symbol playing monkey :( And i refreshed it a few time to...

nice episode! I want a shirt =D

was that real fake blood when steve was shot at the end? or was it CG?

I like it when steve directs

awesome episode. definitely will be out to use
