Aliens Power Loader : DIY Tutorial : BFX

yes

Wow, THATS not horribly disgusting.  >:P

PEDO!!!

Aw, thanks!

I WILL DESTROY ASKANINJA...actually, that guy is seriously hilarious. I now choose to NOT destroy him, but rather to team up with him and destroy the world. HY-YAHH!

Awesome. I'm glad you liked it. I'm working on that how-to video right now in my workshop. I'll let you know as soon as it's ready!

Thank you !

Is the how to done yet?

Yes. The truth is that I powered the suit with a Flux Capacitor. So by law, I had to put the Radioactive sticker on there.

Then where aliens are going we don't need... roads

they did it already

Glad you liked it. I have behind-the-scenes photos of how I made it at my website and on Flickr. Subscribe to my YouTube channel and when the video is done, you'll be the first to know!

dear mister budcrud i had seen the photo`s already but i didnt get it

Sounds like I need to put together a how-to video, huh?

yes please

sorry for the late reaction because i have a new computer and its just installed right now so please make a how to video

they made a utility belt already just do a few simple modifacations

PS: bs your brothers in the hospital
PPS: my name is jaimz :D

what bulid  episode are you talking about

A full body flame is usually attempted by a trained stuntman, his body coated in chilled flameproof gel and in many layers of protective clothing, despite the fact filmakers have been doing it for almost half a century, it's still one of the most dangerous stunts to do, so they won't be making it for cheap on here, that'd be dangerous

Though it's utterly true that you DON'T want to do a fire effect with real fire (have you ever burned yourself?  It SUCKS!), it's very simple to do using a visual fx package like Particle Illusion which is a great generator  of particle effects.  It's an expensive prgram, unless you buy Particle Illusion SE which is only  dollars.  I suggest it, because it's cheaper and easier than setting yourself, or anyone else on fire.  Did I mention that burns SUCK?

I think they are easy, even with some nose putty you could do them directly on your face (giving them shape with a toothpick) or also you could try making them before using them with liquid latex... only wait each layers to dry out before applying the next one and once it's done paste it to your face with liquid latex (thou might hurt when taken) or spirit gum...

an added thought. a facehugger puppet tutorial would be cool. Even just a puppet facehugger egg would be awsome!

There were two cool alien-egg examples in the audition videos. But the face hugger is a GREAT idea.

i mean from the movie scream 4

i'd say cut the hole in an old pair of shoes and attach a fake blade to a rubber band that's attached to the 2 sides of your shoe. hold it down with your toe so when you let it go, it springs out

thanks but where can i find the tutorial

idk if anyone has, i'd google it
i just try to put out ideas since indymogul can't do every suggestion that comes in

??? Give your head a shake! It's a Halloween costume, and was fitted for the individual! Surely evening you could extrapolate the basic idea and make it fit to your own purpose... then again...

he explained it a little further down
apparently it got too expensive and complicated, so he just stuck to the top part

Yep. And they did look more than a little bit AWESOME. But since this was just an audition, I decided to keep it short. Might have been a good 2-part episode.

well bud, you seemed to like doing that one. why not do some more? who knows, maybe you'll get your own section on indymogul, like wesley's weekly or something

I like the way you think, Garret!

go to the hunters lair

yeah verry cool just like the litle head popping out of the mouth

Thanks, BattyNos. I wonderred why it wasn't up with the others, too ... I guess they were just saving it for today! (Thanks again, Zack!) This is the only tutorial I've ever done, but I have a bunch of other costume photo and video links up on my BudCrud website.

yea or does he have an channel on youtube where he have other DIY tutorials

or can you make the duck costume that is in the intro when the text "DIY SPECIAL EFFECTS" comes

ya that looks cool

Later this year for sure. The title is "Halloween on Sixth Street" and it follows me and some other creative people around for a year as we get our crazy costumes ready for Halloween. It's awesome!

one of the best builds i've seen on here...

OH, and a huge THANK YOU to Zack (and Puppet Zack) for putting my audition up here. You guys rock, too!

hey budcrud, would be cool if you did the alien head too =D
just saying

I'd love to! I used an old bicycle cable to work the jaw, and I blew into an air tube to make the little mouth shoot out and back in again.

well a little bit of animatronics is just what indymogul needs
it's a good skill to learn for prop making

Well, I did build some legs for it, but it came out way too expensive and took too long to explain in an audition episode. Glad you liked it!

I'd like to see an episode explaining the legs, how you did it and what they looked like.  Do a sequel to this one.  It'd be great!

puppet abuse
