Spider-Man Special FX Artist J.C. Brotherhood : BFX : Hollywood FX

Hey Eric,
Me and my friends are making a new film called mythomagic. And we need some reasonable weapons. Could you try and make a cheap, working "Riptide" from percy jackson and the lightning thief?
here's a link to my source of info.

PS: Riptide is the pen.
thanks, Tom

Yah...a broken leg that would be awsome!

you guys should do a broken leg.. like if someone jumped/got pushed off a roof or something

Nice!:) but whens the next BFX episode I need HELP! ( I mean it ) with a breathing tar bubble ( most likely black & white )   disease clutching on to the body. P.S. BFX rocks the house down 

this episode is awesome as usual...u guys should do an episode on muzzle flashes and fake guns

Man! I want that gun!

Isn't hollywood fx early this month?

Oh my god the sweeny gun is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. If its legal you guys have got to make one of those.

Is it too late for you to make that staff weapon I've been requesting for weeks?

Great ep!

To all the guys wondering how to do a homemade sweeney-gun, I believe Mythbusters made one out of a regular paintball gun in the episode "Hollywood on Trial". It worked but the effect was a LOT less effective as it is with the real deal.

Yes, I realize I said "couple of questions" yet posted 3...

Hey,  a couple of questions:

1: that dust/spark/awesome ammo, is it standard paintball size, .60 cal.? 

2: if it is, where can one find it?

3: if it can't be bought, can it be made and how?

Can you show me how to make that spark gun?

AMAZING! Great Episode.

Erik you GOTTA make one of those paintball things, take a regular paintball gun then figure out how to make the cement, spark, and dust balls and maybe some of your own new paintball things like wood or something. *greatly appreciated*

Omfg. That's wicked, but its not really a DIY lol. Still powered with "Fish powder" that's cool. The automatic sparks were way cool! XP

there needs to be a BFX episode where you show us how to mod a paintball gun into something like that

This shit is awesome!!!!!

I saw in an outtake for the show Firefly someone accidently getting shot in the
butt from spark ammo.
It was funny as hell.

Awesome episode! 

that was awesome but why was the camera so shaky? well just wondering

Great episode.  I'm blown away.

sweet episode, keep the holyywood effects coming

I wish the episodes on holly wood could be longer. I wouldnt mind sitting down for twenty or thirty minutes learning from the pros. It would actually be amazing.

it was awesome.My next film is a superhero film.Its not done yet I'm just trying to think of an ending for it.

awesome :D
I want to have this gun :D fishpowder and... :D

Awesome episode, better than last time:D

Dude, i need one of those guns!

Pretty cool, but still a bit too short.

So Erik, how long til the build plans come out on that paintgun;)

awesome.

That super up paintball gun is crazy!

You cut down on your Woah,cool and Awesomes Erik!

Nice, I want that paint gun thing :)

wow. that spark gun is really awesome. great episode you guys
