To make good looking weapons you Paint 'em black usually. Easy as Cheese

[Wraith 5]

Filming Equipment would be useful, such as a dolly or steadycam. Including the lighting set and Boom pole they already showed in BFX, you've pretty much got the whole equipment set under wraps.

[Apocalypse WOW!]

Steady cam! Dolly! Crane Rig! Yes Please!

[Zombeast]

You can just use your tripod as a steady cam. Wasn't that one of the quick tips not too long ago?

[Wraith 5]

But it's not as effective. Proper steadycams have a Gyro/weight system that keeps the camera level. A tutorial for an effective low-budget one would be very helpful.. I've seen a few tutorials around on the internet, but they all seem to feature obscure items that are cheap, but really hard to come by.

[animeking527]

Half of those are things that would be on Weekend Extra.

I have attempted to make a couple steadicams but they where to shaky and wasn't much better then just using my tripod. I would really like a compact effective steady cam however 8/ . Maybe something similar to the Merlin steadicam. As for a dolly atm I'm just using one of those big garden wagons. I put a piece of plywood down set the tripod on the plywood and sit behind it while a friends pulls the wagon.

This dose make some of your toy guns look more realistic but, what about close ups, blow back action and stuff? :confused:

wha...i'm not being mean! :dance:

[zebragrrl]

Thanks! :cool:

Personally, I think a length of PVC pipe or broomstick, and some duct tape, are more than adequate. But then, I've never had a "team" for making a film, so a boom mic was pretty useless.

[Redgoblins6]

To have a super realistic eye gouged. So it's all bloody and stuff and also to have a eye that comes with it and a way without green screen to have one of your actors to rip out the eye during the scene. Because nobody likes editing too much.

[Jelfoss]

Dancing pie all the way.

[ishakebabies]

Umm, does NO ONE want a talking toilet?!?! Am I the only one?!?!?!?

[happyhands man]

[darao80]

yea dat steadicam looks awesome

[DanielImpsonProductions]

Editing!

[klick123]

I'm stuck between the weapons and the equipment, so I'll just vote for the weapons because they will probably be more within my price range.

[DeviousTom]

sound would be nice since it's so important

[Jordans Flock Productions]

editing because you could do a film about the life of a toilet but if you didn't edit it just right it would be very simular to what's in a toilet after use!

[inphantzz]

weapons :)

[KMProductions]

Screw weapons. We can come up with those ourselves. TOMATO COSTUME!!

[nolan]

grim reaper or editing/sound effects.we have enough weapons for right now

[rooster.237]

dark knight!

[mootsland]

This is a request from a movie I have limited involvement in, but basically the climax of the script right now is a gigantic robot comes and destroys Chicago. How about a Godzilla style city destruction.

[Jordans Flock Productions]

oh yeah!

[DarkLord905]

None of those really.
I wanna see either how to make those Joker Thug masks
or how to make explosion effects safely using non digital special effects

[holymolyproductions]

Check out my boom pole.... http://forum.indymogul.com/showthread.php?t=12168

Stedicam- I got all the parts to this and it works great.Up at ace hardware... http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/

You don't make explosions. Thats it. It's just not safe.

[GarebearProductions]

Hold up. You could just use the foam sandwich design from the giant sandwich episode for the tomato and dancing pie. I guess sure it would be cool to see more weapons made but they've already made a ton. I really think the most reasonable options are editing tips, where to buy equipment, and the Grim Reaper Costume.

[chaoticmatters]

i just want them to make these already. Not that i didnt love the crawl through tv cause that was great.

[GarebearProductions]

yeah... i really need a boom pole. :rolleyes:
Yeah they already did a weekend extra on $15 boom poles. It was like one of the first weekend extras.

[Magical Monkey]

Does anybody know how old this thread is?
I'll create a new one...

[Pikpolly]
