Whoa...look at Gary's eyes....he is so diverse...

I agree with you, brains are gray!!!!!
But still, the three of 'em are great.

Pssst:  Brains are gray, not red.  Make sure that the blood doesn't dye whatevery you're using.  Anyone know how to achieve this?  Perhaps an acrylic wash?

the third one defentally

 and can you put them on one of the episodes 

Is cannaballism really so bad?  Great brain.

Ive been making movies with my friends since 8th grade and now we can figure out those tough effects

o and squirting blood what u have is like and explosion what about a blood fountain?
thats all i got for now

Hello IndyMogul
I have a bunch of show ideas
falling from heights,slash wounds,shooting underwater,and shooting into a mirror
anyone of those would be great=)

the brain I thought was the best was the newspaper and bread one because that doesn't take about 2 hours or something and thought it was the cheapest one.

Hi, I was wondering if you could give me any advise for making sugar glass bottles with your recipe.

Did you think about eating the first choice?
Your one was pretty cool i loved the add

EG
Benoit(RIP)

How HUGE is that brain???
Useful tip: you can get an idea about the size of your own brain by placing your two fists together.
Love the show.

Lol you're welcome for the links, and no I'm not a guy. Doesn't my name seem feminine? And besides, even if I were a guy...what's wrong with wanting to see a handsome fellow prancing around with a FAKE dead body? Come on now, have a sense of humor. I'm wild enough to request a dead body but stealing one from a morgue is such a bother, I don't think they want to go through all of that.

I agree u should do a zombie special (Bad spelllir) 
Also Sunny thanks for the links (And are u guy cause if not the body thing and erik gets creepy).(er)

I think the third brain would be best for just a prop that isn't going to me touched.  But for a zombie movie, you need an edible brain that won't go crunch and will be juicy and squichy and maybe even a little stringy.  Also, I wan wondering if you could maybe do a quick little 30 second exerpt on good exposed brain...  Looking at other comments, I think you should just do another zombie episode.

Thank you.  This site rules. 
D.I.Y.

OK found more links;
You can buy a lot of awesome props there. They are, however, quite expensive but they seem to be of great quality and...really gross!: http://www.nightmarefactory.com/


You can find a lot of ideas there, they have a few projects for making body-parts : http://www.halloweenmonsterlist.info/

Uuuuuuuuhhh...D: yeah I'm sure that'll help. Hey ERIK! I'd love to see you guys make a dead body....and then you dancing with it.

 We all have our weird fantasies...that's mine.

Here's the link for the brain mold. :)

 I couldn't find any other molds on that site, but I'm looking!

two questions:

where can I get the mold for the jell-o brain,and how can I other organs?

AAaaaaaarrgh!! Braaaaains!

i just started watching your videos. amazing. i am learning alot already.

Yea the 1st one and the sandwich one is pretty badass

For those discussing the color, it really depends if the brain is alive or not. Living brains have blood pumping through them, so they are quite red, the have a pink tone, with millions of tiny capillaries pumping fresh blood giving it overall a reddish tone. 

Also, if a brain was torn out, or being eaten, while the person was alive, there would be a lot of fake blood.

Brains only look pink or grey, when they are removed and preserved. 

man this is really cool but i have a question, in the episode with the gunshot wound effect, how did you make the gun flash? thanks

my friend always used to talk about brains

Hey all..
maybe you can answer this question... I want to make my self a brain, but it has to be able to go under water.. do you think Erik's design wil stay OK under water?

I thought the 1st and 3rd had to be best because if you were making a zombie movie you'd want to be able to actually eat the brain! (can you eat gelatine?) aswell as they were homemade which i would think gives you more satisfaction once made

Anyone know any good movie editing programs?

Keep up the great work Erik and co.!

hey Erik try making an underwater camera

hey guys. i love all the work you guys do. my freind and i are making a sci fi styled movie and one of the characters is extremely skinny. any help? en episode on realistic weight changes (fat, skinny, extra extra huge) would be really nice. or even a short on editing on clothing or camera techniques would be great. thanks.

I LOVE the third brain. It looks the most realistic. 

Hey, thanks for this ep. Erik. My freinds and I are shooting a short on 'Area 15' the human research center in the future after the Earth has been subjugated by aliens. This helped a LOT in the museum scene with all the body parts. 

episode about people falling from heghts...with out dieing ya know...

hey bfx i just joined and think your website is really cool. i just was wondering if you could do an episode on those huge poofy mats that the stunt doubles land on.

thanks

Quick question, do you think you could make a fake bat? You know so we could those fake brains out of some zombie heads.

i really want to be famous, can you help me get my wish? it would mean a lot to me.

I liked the 1st and 3rd one good update from the zombie episode

hey love the tips making a hard core horror movie called sammy so dead. but need help making a out look for the killer. and also how to make a fake head. would realy like to hear more on that. i hate the whole cast the actors head  deal . you guys make good sfx that i can affored. so i hope you guys can help me thanks a 1,000,000,000,000

jason voorhees 2007

I prefer the 1st and 3rd brains. Looked more realistic. And for shooting, I think chronological shooting is better because if you get an actor who is a prick you can just kill them off and you won't have to deal with editing them out of scenes further on that you've already shot.

thanks for the DIY please make some more zombie related projects like "how to make biteable skin" or something close to that. - Vincent 

Hey man. I'm loving your videos! I think they are totally immense and will help me out a lot. For the brains:
I think the last one, the third one, was the best. It looked better than the others, but it was a little big, but I guess it expands when you pop it out of someone's head, and besides, us, the viewers, can change it anyroad.
Absolutely great vids dude!

Sammy in the UK

if you don't like colley flower what brains are edible the mold would it be made out of jello

I like what you've added in between and tagged on at the ends. Every episode is like a complete package now!

Love the show

I like the first and the third one... the second gelatine brain didn't look very real.. Ooh.. I'dd love to see the Robots an Cybogs episode... I think I can use something from it for my star wars movie

I have to say the one you made yourself (3rd option) was the best choice. However, the coloring was a bit to red. I'm pretty sure brains are more white-ish or pinkish.
