Static on the phone lines? Strange signals from Mars? It can only mean one thing! INVASION!

omg they made it look so cool!!!

Not bad!  The rig works well and you can hardly tell there are a couple of Rope-style edits.

lol I love how people complain about the UFO looking bad when I'm pretty sure it was supposed to look bad for that retro 50's movie feel, I mean like, round flying saucers shooting laser beams?  Sounds pretty 50's to me.

are zack and his friends ever going to do a best of the test? especially on this test film because it was digitally packed like avatar.

Cool test film. I'd be interested in seeing how you did the explosions with the chairs and debris flying. I've got an idea, but I'm more of a visual learner.

nice short. was the dim lighting just the time of day or did u do anything in terms of lighting rigs or post-production effects?

uh oh, zak done said a bad wooorrrrrrd. i'm telling mooommm! lol

Good job on the build and test film! pay no attention to the hateful remarks bellow, Good job!

now it's official bfx is dead !
it brought me some ideas for my own builds
now i shut down my pc 
it's the best u can do make something on your own instead of watching zacs childish bfx episodes

Nice test film! The fig rig seems to be perfect for action movies, so I will probably build one for my next film. Thanks for sharing! By the way, what camera did you use?

yea shure he driving a big beamer.(cheap but funny)
but please don't use the bfx theme it's offensive^^
talking to his girl on the line(also funny)
a bad actor running confused around in the house with his stupid fancy iphone (just cheap)

U suck i mean realy u suck it is a pain in the ass to watch ur show .
what a shame bfx under eriks hosting was fresh, fast and funny.
now is lame and i quit watshing it.
bfx died !
But thanks erik and the old bfx team it was lot of fun.

By the way: awesome test film

You should definitely have an episode showing how make assasins creed style wrist knives.like a more compact version of the quick draw sleeve or something

Hell yes, keep it up guys

i am a big fan of indy mogul and i was wondering if you could make athe gun fron the anime trigun

That was awsome!!!!

can you make a tutorial on how to make broken rubber glass???

my friends and i are starting to film some movies but having trouble finding a cheap,good camera,any recommendations?

did the fig rig REALLY help that much????? I mean i think just holding the camera would give you the same effect

how did you do the falling shelves and flying chairs?

the saucer/lasers were pretty self explanitory

dude sweet but could you do an impaleing i know erik dod it before with the wall of knives but im talking falling on a spike of a spear no computer green screen though.

Dude, The martians blew up my appartment...

Love it!

Alan F

How did you get all of the chairs to move when the lazer hit??
awesome test film

This test film was great! Keep up the awesome work!

Awesome test film Zack. Loved the build too, much better than some of the other stuff. Keep up the good work. And you goota love the ring tone!

OMG! WTF! BBQ! AAWWEESSOOMMEE!!!!!!!!!!

That ended way too soon.   
(And thats a compliment)

This reminds me of something that Robert Rodriguez said. In a very loose quote: "If you have an expensive tripod, your camera's going to sit on it and your movies will look boring. Take the camera off the tripod and give your film some movement."

Not bad! The continuous shots are tough! Learned that on the web series! we've got more than enough of the 2 min continuous!

Nice work, loved the chairs blowing up :) The opening tracking shot - were you walking, skating, riding on the back of a car?

Professional quality, built n test film. Looking forward next monday.

He's been trying too hard to be funny, and now that hes not its really good. Also i liked the build, its a thousand times better than the stupid beginner effects like blood.

Brilliant, I think that is zacks best test film!

Great taste film.  How many takes did it take or did everything go good on the first one? LOL

ehhhhhhhhhh ok
not much added from the test film trailer
ps zack wasn't very convincing and there clearly wasn't anyone screaming on the streets despite the sound fx

AWESOME!!! THIS TEST FILM IS AWESOME YOU SHOULD ADD ON TO THIS!

Well done!  The BFX theme ring tone was a great touch!

we need more builds like this!

AWESOME!!
