    Dudes you guys rock. I can see you guys are getting more technical with your attempts so do you think you can conjure up a cheap guacemole gun?? I know u did the blood rig episode but it would be cool to be able to make something similar to what robert rodriguez used in Sin City.

  • BananaMan (guest) wrote on July 22, 11:08 am

    This show is awesome I love how... aw I'll just get to the point. I need some futuristic clothing/armour, halo style. A cool rifle to go with it wouldn't hurt either.

  • Movietime77 wrote on July 21, 9:00 pm

    I'm sort of a GHOSTBUSTERS fan, so try to do costumes like Gozer, the Terror Dogs, & the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And PLEASE try effects like the library ghost scene, the shots of Slimer, the scenes of Gozer, & the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man scene!

  • myst wrote on July 21, 5:39 pm

    Uh, for my adaption of the dark knight movie, I need a dark knight-style joker costume. Get a picture of the dark knight's joker and please make it happen before september!!!

  • myst wrote on July 21, 8:38 am

    My filmmaking company, Swirling vortex productions, is makin a big, actiony apocalypse film, and it has a scene where a ginourmous city blows up. I really want to use apple motion, but it's over a thousand bucks! can you make cool, realistic explosions for cheap? (I need it by september 3, that's when shooting starts)

  • Mr Blonde wrote on July 20, 10:35 pm

    Hey, How do i make realistic looking guns for cheap?

  • lil_leatha_facee27 wrote on July 20, 10:22 pm

    hey I'm working on my first horror film. It's a remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (sorta as a musical ;]) and I was wondering how to make the fake meat carcasses from the slaughter house scene. I was wondering if it would somehow involve blood and gunk in panty hose, so it would hang easy and be light? Idk, but if it was at all possible could you make a tutorial before July 29? Thank you so much:]

  • Eztarget156 wrote on July 19, 4:52 pm

    If you don't like that rifle, try the MA5C Assault Rifle, used in Halo3

  • Eztarget156 wrote on July 19, 4:50 pm

    The MA5B Assault Rifle, from Halo 3. I could really use this for a film. It doesnt need to shoot but I need one for cheap. Thanks !

  • rdskncc2y wrote on July 15, 5:37 pm

    There are many good ideas being thrown around but my favorite have to be the idea of a chicken suit, a kung fu flying rig, and the iron man helmet. Any of the three would be awesome

    make halo guns or armor come on you have to do that!!!

  • Movietime77 wrote on July 14, 11:11 am

    I really love BOTH dolly designs, but I think you should do the tracked dolly again with R/C car parts, a steel roller coaster track (made out of PVC pipe) and under-friction wheels (3 sets of wheels: the regular set, one on the inside of the track to keep the dolly on course, and one UNDER the track to prevent the dolly from falling off)! It would be excellent if you made a dolly like that (also see my comment for the tracked dolly video for details on how to make curves)!

  • Isaac (guest) wrote on July 14, 6:31 am

    Yeah! i agree. Scissorhands would be wicked!

  • Dylan (guest) wrote on July 14, 5:57 am

    hey. i recently made some "edward scissorhands" hands out of socks, gloves, stockings, and sewing skills and a hell load of wood for the actual scissors. The scissors dont look very realistic though. i was wondering if you might be able to make some hands as well? could you include (if you do it) how to make the scissors look real? thanks heaps.. keep up the great work!

  • Dylan (guest) wrote in reply on July 14, 6:03 am

    P.S. Both hands only cost me about $20 in total to make including things like bolts, nuts, screws ets, paint, zippers, buckles, socks, gloves, stockings and cheap wood, so it would be cheap to make but it would have taken about 4 days to make over 2 weeks

  • AustinDurling wrote on July 14, 12:47 am

    I was wondering if you could do a bfx on a gas mask or something of that sort.

  • Movietime77 wrote on July 10, 2:41 pm

    I know I've got lots of films on my mind, but maybe you shoud show me how to create a dragon effect, make a knight's costume, and make the illusion of REAL fire.
    P.S.: I would be honored to be on BFX with Erik Beck!
