    can u give a tour of where u film, your greenscreen, editbay etc.

  • tediz wrote on September 20, 3:51 pm

    for the swords if you go down to chinatown (NYC) you can buy real swords (they are replica and not as sharp but still dangerous) for like 40-50 bucks its costly but i think its totally worth it if you really wanna have a sword fight or something, that way you wont have to worry about not showcasing your swords

  • tediz wrote on September 20, 4:03 pm

    ohh yeah i also found when it comes to zombie clothes if you want your zombie clothes to look dirty dont use dark clothing cuz if you mess up a black t shirt it wont be too noticeable, take light colored clothing and mess those up itll look better

    Love the sound effects!,lol, allso If you Rig The blood Shooter From The gunshot effect episode And just make long hose( with little holes in) and berrie it in the dirt keeping the loosest dirt on top of it you can time your actor or just set up the shot with or with out any actors in it(What ever the shot might be) And it should work with a little time and then you don't have to worrie about hitting the sticks with your feet and it Costs very little!

  • Magermax000 wrote on September 22, 12:22 am

    another cool way to make zombie clothes is to wet them ad bury them for about a week. maybe more, maybe less, but when you dig them up, they are all decomposed and nasty, so sou wash them with a hose, then hang dry them.

  • Ults wrote on September 22, 1:16 am

    dude... the bullet dust thing is ingeniouse! never even thought of that.

    also, is there a cheaper editing software that is usable. Doesnt have to be great, but iu dont really have $99 to spend.

  • Tab (anon) wrote on December 11, 6:32 pm

    You can also bury the zombie clothes. Like, do what Eric suggested, then dig a hole and bury them for about a week. Gross to wear, but really REALLY good.

  • Kevin Copeland (anon) wrote on March 3, 1:44 am

    You guys RULE! Keep it up! The show of course, not the other thing.
