Harry Potter Beats Twilight, Best of the Test : BFX

I love indy mogul (the new theme song is awesome!) but maybe you should try making a new show for editing, if it dosen't get that many hits you can end it (no harm done)

Where can I find The ep. of Harry Potter where you/they teach to make spells with wands?

could you do some more stuff about stop moition puppets too, those videos about stop moition reallyvinspired me and id like to learn more

indy mogul rocks and ive been watchin it like for eva ezpeicialy the harry potter rap keep bein asome :)

that was cool

I liked it.

That was pretty good. Do you think you could make an evil ice cream cone costume for less than $50?

Definitely DO MORE!!!

Anyone else sick to death of these ads for the Cayman Islands. It stuffs the movies and makes it take for ever to load.

Harry Potter is AWESOME Twilight is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the idea of an editing show, as well as these behind the scenes eps. I love watching the builds, but seriously guys (posters) most of the suggestions that are being tossed about are just re-imaginings of builds that Eric and the crew have already done (sometimes on multiple occasions already). Think of a truly original build and it might be more inspiring for them to try. I mean how many guns and costumes do they have to make before you finally experiment for yourself? Isn't that what film making is about in the first place? I like learning the concepts and techniques BEHIND the builds so that I can create my own prop or other gag and then apply it to my own original work using what I learned. Not to just re-script Halo.

Hey Erik(or anybody else), Just wanna say BFX, The Reel Good Show... Great stuff. But keep in mind for some of us(who happen to be 13, live in our parents house, have no money, and no people, space, props, equipment, software or otherwise to work with), would like some more AFFORDABLE projects, stuff that we can all use. Like 4 minute film school, ETC. Love you guys, but... I'll stop lecturing. INDYMOGUL ROX!!!!

SHAVE YOUR BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I would love to see more behind the scenes stuff!

Hey Indy Mogul, I've been a fan of you guys for awhile and I appreciate all the tutorials that you put effort into. I would definitely like to see more behind the scenes clips, but would like them on a different day so that they do not get rid of a wonderful tutorial for some random thing. Thanks guys.

Hey, Eric. could you make the hidden blad in Assains creed? Please, i really wan to see how to do it. Cheap. If you dont know what it is its a blade that shoots out from under the sleave and ends at about were your finger ends. :D.

Hey Erick this is a huge fan of your show, you could even call me the best short fan in the world(lol). I was watching 3 diffrent movies yesterday and in all three there was some guy with a claw. One was a DNA infused crab claw stuck to his arm. One was a robotic claw because hand was destroyed, And the last was just a hook so it gave me an idea " Why don't I ask Indy mogul ".

I am from Netherlands and I'm a big fan I've seen many great costumes you have made and my question is can you make an alien costume for cheap

Star wars! Star wrs!

i did really enjoy this one but i need a lil help. I need to make a fight scene with a actor vs the same actor (me vs me) so any help on that would be awesome and if you could make random guns would be kool (this is for a different project and web zombie series) but thanks for all the great tips and tricks

yeah and maybe complement with the light...s.a.b.e.r ( please don't sue me George Lucas L.O.L. XD ) hahaha

star wars forse sounds god to me .

That starwars idea sounds awesome

wow nice big crowd effect

I was wondering if next week you could do a tutorial on star wars force abilities and tricks (force push, force lightning, force choke, etc...) everyone that agrees please post a comment immediatly

Loved this style of episode and would love to see more

I'm not afraid to say that Wands are a pretty badass weapon. :D and the ones for this test film where the baddest assed one I've ever seen. lol.

This was the BEST rap ever besides the Pumpkin King one! I love the guy that sounds like the Beastie Boys. How long did this take you guys to write? I think this was almost as good as BFX except I want to learn more about making props...not editing. it's too confusing. maybe you should do a show thats just raw footage of you guys goofing off behind the scenes. Hmm???

if its called BACK YARD EFFECTS shouldnt it have BACK YARD EFFECTS!

Eric. We all know you like Twilight. Its ok, you won't be stoned for it. Promise...

I thought this video was awesome (although I don't have any sofware)!

yes. these are great !

Great episode. Though your focus is on effects, any insight in to the film making process is appreciated.

More!!

des s3 saks

Thanks for not doing twilight....twilight is retarded

go erik :) hp rocks

Yes please! Love some more!

I've been watching IM for a few years now and have loved all the energy Erik and the team have put in to each episode. Episodes like this expand on the stuff we don't see and as a DIY filmmaker and cine-phile I like all the extras I can get. I vote YES on future behind the scenes episodes. For example, how to prepare a shoot or shot for special effects. There are plenty of web tutorials on how to use each program but very little on how to prepare a shot to be composited. Also, I extend to you IM the challenge of going old school and using scale models for a test (love to see the behind the scenes on that, too!) Keep up the great work!

I hate Twilight too, but does it really make any sense to declare this "In opposition to Twilight"? I don't see much of a connection.

I think this is a great idea but it needs more content. I think something more along the lines of the old 5 minute film school but more in-depth. Maybe instead of bobby millers new (boring) show have him host the making of show of all the test films/builds. That would be interesting. Bobby Miller is funny he just hasn't found a good topic to make his own. Like Grace has with BTT and MM and of course Erik with BYFX

I love this! I understand that there's demands to do FX work that keeps up with the movies (oh yeah, and where's my end of the world DYI BFX????) and when you have an open week, it's totally cool to show what else went into an AWESOME TEST!!! Thanks for everything guys!

Come on guys, this extra behind the scenes should of been done when the initial vid was done. Need new builds!

It was good to see how the rap was made but i prefer the build episodes.

twilight is not for girls! harry potter is for girls.

first i dont want more episodes like this. I WANT BUILD EPISODES! second can you do a vampire episode i need vampire effects for my next film

I liked this episode and thought it was cool however what will the test film for it look like? :S Oh well. Awesome episode and good luck in the future.

I guess it's pretty cool, but i still like the builds better. Maybe do it every other week or, better yet, every three weeks.

I liked this episode, and I would like to see more, but I don't think they should replace builds. I know it's pretty tiring to keep on making original builds every week. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind having this replace a couple build episodes. Nice job!

ventriloquist dummy build good for me

aww, no build? what happened?

MORE BUILD EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sick of best of the test!!!!!!!

MAKE ANOTHER PUPPET BUILD PLEASE

dear eric, i have 4 words to tell you today.... WASTE OF MY TIME!!!! I WANT TO BUILD STUFF AND SHOW THEM OFF TOMY FREINDS NOT LEARN HOW YOU DID A HARRY POTTER RAP!! IM MAD NOW =[

Wood splintering effect?! PLEASE!?

This was okay...BUT REALLY. Get back to Build Episodes. You can't possibly have run out of ideas since there's so many suggestions in the comments.

Wow, really? Why does season 3 have to lack so many actual build episodes? It was ok, but really...

god,eric,best of the test?what the hell?1?1?

I always enjoy watching behind the scenes stuff, so more would be awesome. However, I'd be disappointed if it took away screening time from the regular BFX

kan you plees plees help me i wona know how to make holograms i need it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to see more behind the scenes

YES!!! YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE! Lately, you guys have been lacking a filmmaking aspect in your shows and have been replacing it with dirty comedy! ADD MORE FILMMAKING VIDEOS!!!!!!!

Cool! It's good to know that Erik is in his early 20's. (Phew!) And wow! I loved this episode. You guys covered SO MUCH! It was awesome. I would definitely be interested in seeing more of this.

I would also like to see a best of the test of the Pumpkin King test film! that would be cool!

I would like to see more episodes like this! It has awesome tips! You could make a whole new show based on this that would be kinda cool! Or do what you guys did replace it with a BFX. But anywise I WANT to see more episodes like this!! PLEASE!!!

Really interesting episode since I'm a fellow filmmaker, the tips are useful and inspirational. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more of this.

awesome episode! I'm in my mid 20's and into harry potter, and I get teased by my tween cousins who are into Twilight. :( lol the Harry Potter rap was part of the "Around the net" segment on "Attack of the Show" a while back. I think back when you guys first put it up.

interesting, but I prefer a good old bfx-build

I would like to see a best of the test for the neck scar test film!

guis im making a movie , ok 3 movies and i need to know how to make halow wepons for less then a 100 box .

liked the episode, you guys should have more like this with the video editing aspect.

3:39 I see a thumb...

loved the behind the scenes. More please!

im glad you didnt do the twilight vampires, but i didnt like the epesode very much
