    Dude you should do all the test films.

    funny and very cool effect

  • Aaron94 wrote on August 24, 4:04 pm

    the test film would be better if that guy got shot (not nelson )

  • drumsofdoom wrote on August 24, 4:14 pm

    you can reverse the falling footage to make it look like you jump extremely high

  • lukie wrote on August 24, 4:40 pm

    It seemed a bit short to me, like the fall, it was really short...

  • legion wrote on August 24, 5:31 pm

    Looks good - Too short though!

  • felix78 wrote on August 24, 7:56 pm

    i know about chroma key, but how the *censored* do you make the black floor that was shown in the footage of greens screening look like green when u edited it in ur program????

  • felix78 wrote on August 24, 7:59 pm

    btw i am using vegas 6.0

    So Is Steve a Friend Or just like an outside correspondent?
    Allso If your trying to make a serious fall you simply put the camera on the ground and have your actor slam his face(Not really) in the ground in front of the camera(After doing the falling parts like in the vid)and To highten it fill your mouth with some good ol Ben Nye Cinnamon Blood and when you hit the pavment spit it out.
    Allso You can drop peices of fake glass when your actor hits for if it's a jumping out a window Or If your doing a going through a windsheild thing.
    It's very strange I was just figureing out this effect a few days ago!
    Love You all, KEEP UP THE GREAT SHOWS!

    Great effect, and Steve is hilarious, but the war commercials are starting to get annoying. What happened to the threadbanger ones?

  • steve wrote on August 24, 10:08 pm

    Hey guys, I'm glad you liked the video! To answer a few questions:
    I know the fall was short, but that was my decision. You guys can take this and do so many different things with it! Weker1's ideas seem really good, I'd like to see some of that stuff in action.
    To Felix - If you watched our "Cloning Effect" episode of Indy Mogul Extra, you'll notice I mentioned "cropping". Well, my friend, that is just how I got rid of those spots. I cropped out the outer edges of the video.
    And I am a part of Indy Mogul.

    everybody needs to get over the war ads, theres nothing wrong with them. Great tutorial, now i need to find a building to do it on.

  • Weker1 wrote on August 25, 12:08 am

    Thanks Steve!

  • Macinmaniac wrote on August 25, 1:10 am

    Definitely the best indymogul weekend extra! Your other ones are kinda dull, but the comedy kept the flow of this short tutorial entertaining. Good Job!

  • 0410warner wrote on August 25, 1:17 am

    you guys should do a "Hump day" extra for wednsdays

  • liamblackere wrote on August 25, 10:02 am

    not the emo way but fun

  • felix78 wrote on August 25, 11:37 am

    to steve: in Vegas 6.0 there is a button called pan/crop, if thats what u mean? and its more like zooming into ur movies and stuffs :0

  • Alan wrote on August 25, 12:27 pm

    Excellent episode Steve.

  • Weker1 wrote on August 25, 3:33 pm

    Oh yeah!, Steve Got A friend!

  • thomas wrote on August 25, 4:48 pm

  • punkandska66 wrote on August 25, 5:07 pm

    you got SIXTEEN

  • Sanch wrote on August 25, 11:38 pm

    I'm telling you...steve nelson is a hundred times cooler than erik beck.

  • kennythecrackhead wrote on August 26, 1:01 pm

    i want to have steve nelson's babies

  • Gwiz wrote on August 27, 11:51 am

    That would be neat to have a dummy dressed like an actor fall out of a tree and go splat, and have the actor crawl off of the exact spot in the same position as the dummy. I hope you guys understand what I mean.

  • Roarzness wrote on August 29, 4:49 pm

    dude tht was sick!! but how did you stand on tht fence thingy at the top without falling???

  • Roarzness wrote on August 29, 9:36 pm

  • Oren J wrote on January 5, 7:37 am

    This is so great but was so hard to find a place with a not so high part.

  • ShadowOps.Ninja91 wrote on January 28, 3:48 pm

    Nice! that looked so smooth, except the fall didnt take long enough i think. but that was a great showing of what can be done, good job.
