This great guys!I plan on making a short zombie movie,so I think I'll need help with fake dummies,and bones probably.Maybe some crazy wounds like somone getting ripped up by a chainsaw,or getting decapiated by a hatchet.So it might be crazy.

I though Steve lived in Jersey. What is he doing in california?

hey Deamed. u can get a funnel and put a tube on it and fill tht up with non-dairy coffee creamer then take a torch and leave it on over the funnel. finally take an air sprayer thing tht u would use to fill up ur tires and put tht into the tube and spray. u get a great fire ball and its a lot safer then using gas.

lol same dude i was thinking it was outside darn siren

Oh and for the Battle Rifle it can be from Halo 1,2 or 3 what evers easeist for you. 2 days and 5 hours lest until Halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The forums won't let me post, I registered from the sign up the home page on indymogul.com. Oh well I'll just post here, as long as someone see's it.

Hey could you guys make a Master Chief suit and you can't forget his Battle Rifle for under 50 dollers for both this one could be a real Challenge.

Hey Erik I was woundering if u could build a battle rifle from halo 2 and a masterchief suit for as cheap as you can make it cause me and my friends are going to make a halo show

Shooting a no budget B-grade short horror film. Need to firure out how to shoot the effect of skin ripping on camera. Character's bladder bursts through his skin. We have some good ideas but not sure if they might look too ridiclulous. Any suggestions??

THIS SITE IS A BIG HELP. THIS WILL GET ME STARTED IN HORROR FILMS

COMMENT

wait, if the phone is a prop then that means the show is a sham and you are a corporation!!! fight the power!!! eric is a corporate puppet!!! i'm just kidding but seriously is that your room or a set?

Hi Indymogul, I need to make a body that my trained zombies will tear apart. Actually several. Also, any ideas on making the bloody body filling? Intestines, liver, stomach...you get the idea. Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello. My name is Amanda Drury and I am a senior at Shelby County High. I am making a horror movie and I was wanting some pointers on death scenes and such. I would also like help with effects. I just wanna make a good movie and this site seems like it can.

How do i make guts for a zombie to rip out of a person?

You've made fake heads, but what about faces melting off, like in Indiana Jones? That would be really awesome if it was possible to make "cheap" face melting effects..

I'd Like To See Something About Free/Very Cheap Video Editing program,

i saw an old black n white war movie i want to know how to make the effects when the soldier is runing and the bullets hit the ground but i know there is no bullets just dirt i think its like a stick with dirt on it andd when the foot steps on the stick it shoots the dirt up is this the way to do it

Question,what is the closest thing I can get to realistic and fake eyes?I have an idea with the fake heads,and something to do out of boredom.

man that siren scared the shit out of me i thaught it was the cops out side my house

Hey guys, these tips are awesome!! A big thanks from ET ENTERTAINMENT! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check us out on the web! http://www.et-films.net http://www.et-films.net http://www.et-films.net

can you guys make body parts. want to make horror movie, parts with people getting cut up.

Im making a video for a contest and i need to know what to do when you look like you're getting electrified besides shaking. And in my first scene, my actors has one hand handcuffed to a bed while a zombie walks in. In this scene, my actor poles his hand hard and his hand comes off but stays in the handcuffs hanging. How can I make this hand thing realistic? E-mail me back on youtube at ImCrazy101.

Love the shows! I hear you're doing a head explosion episode. I've tried this recently and came up with something pretty cool. here it is... http://youtube.com/watch?v=dSYsvAP6QFw If only I added sound effects it would have added much more dimension. Anyway, looking forward to future episodes

I have a oicture of my brothers freind in a suit of samurai "armor" The point of it was to attempt to block airsoft bb's.... it didnt work ill try and sent indy a photo

SUWEET

I just recently discovered Indy Mogul and I just wanted to say you guys are doing a great job. Please keep up the good work. Before Latex Rubber became prevalent, oldschool makeup was sometimes gelatin based. You could cast multiple peices of the same makeup effect out of the same mold and the gelatin was less harsh on the actors skin. I had a recipe I found online a while back but my PC crashed and I lost it before I ever got to try it out. Do you guy s have a recipe for Gelatin based make up ?

hey i got a movie i wanna make and i was wondering if the is a way to make a gun shot effect for a bullet hitting a wall and/or whaterver... you now that throw dust and dry wall. i could do it with computer but it feels to fake. is there a way to do it on set? THANKS :P

about zombie movies is there a way using imovie or something to edit the eyes of zombies to look like contacts (white,black or red eyes)with out actually buying them?

i love the tips thanks alot but im making a zombie movie for my high school film fest i won last year and i dont want to make my zombie movie chesey...u know how could i make it look like my 'zombies are eating people ripping there skin off and make fake limbs look realistic...i was thinking real meat but that would be expensive kinda and might get my "zombies" sick thanks anna lackawanna ny

hi i need a video for a transformers video for the new movie TRASFORMERS

The siren - I was lyk WTF.... hahaha Thanks heaps!! that helped me out so much :D For guns me and my sister bought pistol (Not revolver) cap guns.

THanks Erik ur the shizit

This great guys!I plan on making a short zombie movie,so I think I'll need help with fake dummies,and bones probably.Maybe some crazy wounds like somone getting ripped up by a chainsaw,or getting decapiated by a hatchet.So it might be crazy. One mre question,what is the more affordable,and best editing system I can get?And do you think green screening is a must?

Sanch, I would suggest using a lot of green screen for something like that. Could be very easy, actually ... not easy to explain in full though.

The compression makes it look like I have freckles...weird

I need a way to make it look like somone has been swollowed up into their bathtub or sink and like teleported to the middle of a lake. It sounds outrageous, i know. Any help, Erik??

hi wondering when your doing the fake head show it sounds great

yeah, i heard that siren to, and i stopped the video to see what the hell was happening out side.

a great addition i think would be to give a source for music that adds to the drama of a movie. maybe like someone died or something. where could i get some like sad orchestra music. or maybe suspence. stuff like that! help out!

i need to know how to make a power ranger type looking helmet?

i'm shooting a movie but i need to learn to make the creature from the aliens movie series out of bed foam and old clothing please give me a tip

how can i make a hand geting choped of?

i was wondering if you guys can help me do a cheap and easy set up for a sewer i am shooting a zombie film where we need a sewer and tunnels but i don't have and tunnels or a sewer i can us.....i do have a script and ideals if it would help for you to see it...maybe you can do a show on it..making cheap under ground props....look as real as you can.... and for happy go to http://www.channel101.com/articles/article.php?article_id=104 look for the ones with jack black in them they are very useful...it tell you everything you need to know about filming in a few mins of watching....peace and thanks love the shows keep them coming erik beck and i will keep watching....

also thought I should mention that there is free chroma key software here: http://www.zs4.net/

Check out the smoke bomb at unitednuclear.com/experindex.htm . It's relatively safe. I believe Potassium Nitrate is pretty easy to get too.

Sorry for the double post, but also what kind of management do you use for your site, I've been trying to find some kind of php setup built for videos but the best I can find is a old podcast based site that I've hacked to work with videos. Thanks agian

I've been trying desperately to make a green/blue screen, it seems the only cheep material I can find is reflective, making shine spots all over the screen making it very difficult to cut out. But my setup can't be painted or otherwise has to be removable without leaving much behind. I was wondering how you would go about doing it. Seeing as a lot of special effects for sci fi and what not depend on this FX. Thanks for the help.

hey i went to detonation films and it was great but whenever i try to use the free effects on adobe for somereason it says the file is missing nessacary content, is this because it is a zip file, did u run into this problem, and if so how did u overcome it

HEAD EXPLOSIONS!!!! Im probably just a noob but an episode about microphones and audio for your movie would be a big help for me thanks dude

thanks for putting this up, its a big help. can't wait to see all them heads fliing everywhere eventually!

PLZ show us how to do a real explotion when even ground is coming up in air...

well at detonation.com nothing is good... i haven't found nothing userful there...

wow that siren scared the poo out of me, it sounded like it was outside my house
