  Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: Invisible Slash

   Well I am back this week, (I was gone last week because I got the flu), with the final effect for Mogulween! This week I am doing a slash wound whose apperance you can "activate" from a distance.

  Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: R/C Cameramount

   A lot of you guys have asked a lot of questions about how to accomplish a variety of difficult camera shots that you find hard to do with the regular dolly (specifically getting dolly shots under tables of beds), and I thought I would share a novel solution to this problem with the Remote Controll

  Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: Fake Tears & Crying

   This week I am going to cover something that's been requested a bunch, but that's yet to really be covered, which is making fake tears when you don't have actors that can't cry on cue (which are harder to find than you'd imagine.)

  Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: Cheap Bounce Board

    So we've covered some lighting techniques, and how to assemble a cheap lighting kit in the past.  But something that I haven't really talked about how to make (and that is actually really simple) is the basic bounce board. These are really easy to make, and can help really improve your lighting

  Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: Fake Oil/Grime

   Chances are that you've seen at least one movie in your life that featured a shady Mechanic character, or a group of people working together on a machine of some sort. Something that I have always noticed in these scenes is that nearly everyone is always splattered with oil or grime. Little touche
