  • MarcJo33 wrote on March 27, 11:26 am

    Great episode!

  • GonzOne (guest) wrote on March 27, 11:27 am

    I wanna see how you got hurt

  • steo41 (guest) wrote on March 27, 11:33 am

    Ha Erik you should feel lucky your eye injury was nothing compared to my brothers, a broom was thrown at him by some stupid kid and it hit him in the eye and all the brusels brushed his eye and he could have gone blind! but he was okay

  • steo41 (guest) wrote on March 27, 11:36 am

    And is that a pig in the background? Its kinda cool.

  • Euro83 wrote on March 27, 12:21 pm

  • deadbydawn wrote on March 27, 12:47 pm

    Get well soon Erik nice episode as always.

  • KMProductions wrote on March 27, 12:53 pm

    Cool episode. I really liked the new look of the show. It's a good change. Also, sorry about your eye. Hope it gets better quickly.

  • Timharcourt-powell wrote on March 27, 2:26 pm

    Is it just me or did any one else think Erik seemed a little down? Poor Erik!
    Get well soon man, you're doing a great job :D

    I wish Erik was my older brother

  • ploomit wrote on March 27, 3:25 pm

    I'm the text messager and I would like to say that you can get a VMCK100 at bhphotovideo.com. I found while talking to people from the store asking about what you recommended with the price I had because I wanted a camcorder with a mic input but I didn't have the money.

  • ploomit wrote in reply on March 27, 3:47 pm

    I just found out they don't make it any more so im tracking one down

  • SGriZZ wrote on March 27, 3:34 pm

    im liking the new title and the new look

    feel better erik, I wouldn't want to have to take over for you or anything if you didn't....

  • gcubedproductions wrote on March 27, 3:37 pm

    The new background... eh, 5/10. he new intro... 10/10. Also, I hope you get better soon.

  • tommy012345 wrote on March 27, 5:16 pm

    where do you get the ATR 55 Mic + VMCK 100 cos i need both???? TELL ME

  • Hole-in-the-Sock Productions (guest) wrote on March 27, 5:35 pm

    i like the new look but the old backdrop was cooler. i understand, tho, greenscreening is hard

  • felix78 wrote on March 27, 6:20 pm

    omg, Eriks seems so sad : /

  • ninjapiratemonkey wrote on March 27, 6:42 pm

  • TheTinfoilShow wrote on March 27, 6:59 pm

    why is there an Iphone in every little title box

  • Seraph0000 wrote on March 27, 7:17 pm

    guys I think he seems sad because he's on pain medicine... but anyways... I liked the episode, and I hope you get better soon! (I hope this doesn't sound bad... but I really want to know what happened. Way to add suspense.)

  • PROFFESERsalvdore wrote on March 27, 7:33 pm

    what happened?

  • MaverickUK (guest) wrote on March 27, 7:59 pm

    If your after a ATR-55 microphone then get one cheap at the group buy thread in the forum: http://forum.indymogul.com/showthread.php?t=6926

  • skaterb0y101 wrote on March 27, 8:41 pm

    Sucks about ur eye.
    but i think that the old "Green Screen" backround was better, maybey u could just change the backround image.

  • kenglen76 wrote on March 27, 8:50 pm

    Moving away from the green screen is ok but the new set is not doing it for me. Seems like too much going on visually. I hear you talking but I just want to look out the window. But then I'm confused because the window is actualy looking inside. So am I outside? Nope, I just checked; I'm inside. I think you're messing with my melon. Hey look, a window...

  • Jakeus-Meakus wrote on March 28, 12:03 am

    the humming may also have been caused if the cable is near a powr cable as they give of a frequency of 50Hz which is picked up by leads and can be heard as a low hum. this is also why guitar amps hum :D

    hope this helps :D

  • Big B (guest) wrote on March 28, 12:57 am

    Dude, Erik, I'm glad you're gonna be ok! But thank you for sacrificing your body for our tips and stuff. Seriously man get better asap!

  • Tony (guest) wrote on March 28, 9:52 am

    I too have had troubles with YouTube. I've followed all the encoding tips, and just about everything I put up still looks like ass. It sucks when the most popular sites on the net suck quality wise.

  • Jonathan Gum wrote on March 28, 10:00 am

    I wonder if that cup is actually full.

    I wonder what BFX Erik was doing, maybe it's like "How to make it look like you drilled out your eye" effect.

  • aTopSecretProduction (guest) wrote on March 28, 4:07 pm

    i really really enjoyed the old set for Q& Erik. the new one just doens't match the hat and bubble pipe for me. Eye injuries are scary and suck. get well asap!!

    Love Lindz

  • Abner wrote on March 28, 6:02 pm

    wow, eye injuries suck, alot, but now u can wear an eyepatch for reals!

  • Alex_T (guest) wrote on March 28, 6:54 pm

    Hey IM. I have a problem with my camera and I hope you can help me. I have a 'Sony Handycam DCR-DVD92E PAL' and when I put the mini dvd in my computer and look at the footage it becomes f*cked up! If I shoot 30 minutes the camera minimizes it to like 5 minutes and if i scroll through and start at diffrent locations in the timline, diffrent pieces of the footage is showing. And if I import it into a editing program, I get the footage after some tweaking but the audio is just repeating the first 5-14 seconds of the footage. It's quite annoying and I really need some help. Please email me if you know what could be the problem!

    Hey Indy Mogul... Don't get me wrong, your shows are awesome!!!! I just liked the old background a little bit better. I'm kind of a conformist, meaning I'm not a big fan of change. However, I still loved the show!!!!!!!

  • Seraph0000 wrote in reply on March 30, 12:43 pm

    actually that would be a nonconformist

  • flufycouchfilms wrote on March 29, 9:38 am

    how did the injury happen

  • AspiringMovieMaker (guest) wrote on March 29, 2:05 pm

    The old background was alot better but the new titles are pretty good. Feel better :)

  • razaksroughnecks wrote on March 30, 11:47 am

    Great eye patch effect Erik! Personally I would have gone for black but hey it's your show.

    Kidding of course! Hope you're back to being your crazy, energetic self soon!

    I've had a similar problem with the external ATR55 mic. I can't tell you how many times I've shot footage only to look at it later and have nothing but a loud humming. I even bought an expensive XLR mic and an adapter for my Sony HDR-HC7 but I still have trouble. I think it must be Sony's mic inputs because it happens on both my Sony cameras.

  • Seraph0000 wrote on March 30, 12:46 pm

    Oh... I forgot to say I was totally with you on the Imperial droid thing.

  • happyhands man wrote on April 2, 5:20 pm
