    Sweet, that will really help on my later film making.

  • Midnite Ninja wrote on July 30, 12:00 pm

    Sweet vid man, I hope I get a nice cam here soon so I can start making some vids. Yo btw just remember to look at images on google if you want true to life bruises, scars, swollen eyes, etc.

    PS: glad i could be a part of your army Erick

  • Bobbyjkl wrote on July 30, 1:32 pm

    For spitting out fake teeth, you can use the white Lifesavers, lol. I want to be a general of your army.
    Also, I found out some good sound effects-
    - swishing a stick= punch.
    - Punching half a head lettuce = getting hit. Price= $2.00

    It went a little to fast but it was a gread video..

    Lol, this should have been: It went a little too fast, but it was a great video.
    Also, erik, can you make an episode on Medieval costumes and/or weapons for under $30 each? That would be sweets.

  • -toast- wrote on July 30, 2:18 pm

    i think that eye was a bit over exagerated but i liked the first one from the puppet episode good job erik!

    My voice mail got in the show! HEY! dont question art.

  • Justinsuperstar wrote on July 30, 2:52 pm

    MrMoop: We meant to say, your friend shouldn't question the art form of holding a camera, taking a jump, and being totally doomed to hurting himself :D - THAT's indie film art right there!

    You look like a dirty old man as the news caster!

  • indiamayormaynot wrote on July 30, 5:29 pm

    I've just started watch IndyMogul and I must say, I love you! Anyway, I hope to use some of your techniques when I start filming my own videos. Thanks so much! Any tips on cheap portable lighting?

  • benjaming wrote on July 30, 7:49 pm

    this video went kinda fast but for black out teeth wouldn't it just be easier to use black tape?

  • Rainer666 wrote on July 30, 9:43 pm

    Hey can you guys do something like a power ranger helmet type thing plz

  • themixedtwits wrote on July 30, 10:16 pm

    Great video as usual; but theres one thing I need to know. I'm doing a foot chase for my next film and I need some kind of camera rig that moves pretty quickly. Whats the best way to do this?

  • Ricardo wrote on July 30, 10:16 pm

    Yeah, the eye was HUGE, smaller would be better

  • meagan wrote on July 30, 11:18 pm

  • Bobby Slick wrote on July 30, 11:31 pm

    Erik,
    Good show, old bean. The beat-up look was a great episode. I will try it. I acctually was beat up by three angry feminists one time (what a coincidence!) I looked alot worse than your buddy Mike.Thanks again.
    Your Fan,
    Bobby

    Hilarious! Would be a good surprise for any kid going home to visit mom.

  • thomas pickens wrote on July 31, 7:30 pm

    you should make an ep about lightsabres that look real buget progect

  • Frenchie wrote on July 31, 10:23 pm

    Hey! A bunch of freinds and I thought it might be cool to have some of those fancy hollow-masks from bleach, similar to Ichgo's (the half-face) and we figured we'd ask how you would do it. We just cant figure out how to make it sick to the face without visible straps or superglue. We figured that paper mache would be best.

  • DrDoobious wrote on July 31, 11:13 pm

    Wouldn't it be amazing if the entire world knew what Hollow masks were? I'll give Erik an example, but you probably have the right idea

  • borat wrote on August 1, 3:35 am

    yes um I'm sorry bout being a troublesome. i know you probably have something better to do. but i was wondering how to make futuristic battle armor for an incredibly cheap price. well if ya can't i won't really care but thanks for reading. and bout the name i couldn't think anything. ha ha. have a great day

  • Blitz Haigen wrote on August 1, 3:14 pm

    I like your 'stache, Erik, is that eyebrow pencil?

  • Weker1 wrote on August 1, 9:32 pm

    It allso looks good to just use the noise and scar wax on the top eye lid useing your same make-up method.,
    It allows you to open the eye barely makeing a more rocky like effect, Once I can Get ,my hands on my make up kit again I'll try to make an effect and send the eye vid.
    You Guy's Rcok!

  • pat wrote on August 2, 12:56 am

    you kinda over did it with the putty.

  • daydreamer1 wrote on August 2, 11:59 pm

    Awesome stuff.Can you guys make a camera helmet?I dont really care about the budget,I just need it to be so my camera is planted on tightly,so it wont fall off on the high speed and corkscrew rides.

  • trebor117 wrote on August 3, 10:34 am

    Borat for space armour just use the samuri armour silver and tightin it up (so it dosn't move as much).

  • Shadowman1229 wrote on August 4, 11:50 am

    have you ever thought of putting all of these effects into one film? That would be cool

  • fuckface wrote on August 12, 7:05 pm

    The evil-laugh didnt sound real at all. And I know its not the purpose, but it was not funny either,, Sorry. I love your tips:D

  • roadsmash wrote on September 10, 4:42 am

    if your looking to buy good bruise and injury make-up try ben nye. most of the effects come in wheels of 4 colours and are a long lasting cream. my favourites are the burn wheen and the bruise wheel

  • Stephen Skeel wrote on January 25, 10:11 pm
