Hey Mogulers! Here's where you request an effect

POSTED BY , 19 July 2007

We've been getting a lot of requests for effects to create in future episodes, and we love it. The only problem is that they're getting posted on all different pages and in all different places, it's impossible to keep up!

 

 

So, now, with the wonder of modern technology, we present the place to plop your problems on our lap so we can make 'em cheap and easy ... but before you do, make sure to read over what we've done, and what we're doing, so you make certain we haven't already answered what you're askin'.

    hey indy mogul, I'm not sure if its in the realm of possibility to do cheaply, but if you've evre seen "An American Werewolf In London" I want to recreate the effect where the main guys arms, feet, and head stretch into a really creepy wolflike figure, all on screen, for my short film. I really hope you take my request into consideration, cause I'm need this seen in my short to be top notch. Thanks for reading! (Unless you just skipped down to this part) The ever hoping, Ben Olmstead

I hope you take my request into consideration, because I'm really stumped on how to do it for my short. Thanks guys.

    The Ironman Chest piece, not necessarily the whole suit just the light-up chest piece( a wearable version and prob version would be cool)

  • doriandvasquez90 wrote on October 13, 12:13 pm

    im not completely sure, but i think you can do it with a round bike reflector and one of those round keychain lights... glue/tape light under the reflector and hide it in the chest peice.

    Okay, so I'm making 7 movies about a guy called Calvin Jones jr A.K.A. California Jones (This is a re-imagining of the Indiana Jones movies, not a remake). I want to know how to shoot a real landscape and replace it with a model of the location, create a miniature boulder with a bunch of arrows coming out of it (This is sort of like a combonation of the boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark and a booby trap), create a full-scale earthquake on a live-action set without spending $20,000,(my movie budgets should be $100,000 or less), how to create an exploding head, a trail of fire without using Adobe After Effects, and how to make a full scale replica of the Mask of Evil (looks like a hockey mask covered in golden foil and heiroglyphs, and the Crysal Skull).

  • The Passion of the Puppet wrote on October 7, 10:42 am

    Also the cost around 250 to 500 dollars it would have to look as real as possible

  • The Passion of the Puppet wrote on October 7, 10:30 am

    I have a pretty tall order here.How would you get the ripped flesh look like the passion of the christ? and how to replicate the crucifixion from the 2000 Jesus mini series(because his arms aren't tied, and it only shows him hanging by the wrists.)

  • Jakekilgore wrote on October 6, 12:48 pm

  • Buckwildfilms wrote on October 5, 4:02 pm

    Can you do the effect where the person is moving but it only looks like they are gliding across the floor and not actually moving?

  • mg0930mg wrote on October 9, 12:51 pm

  • Grant (guest) wrote on October 3, 6:32 pm

    Could you make a (relativley) safe explosion simulating a mortar blast hitting the ground? I know there is a way to step on a board with dirt on it, but I need one that will explode (possibley) remotely, or simply one that dosent require a person to trigger it. thanks!

    i dont know what your gore limitation is, but i think it would be pretty cool if you did a halloween special using your minitour video. what you have to do is make the minitour eat a guy from the waist down with his intestines and stuff falling out that would be your effct. Gorey i know but FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Devinator wrote on September 14, 4:49 pm
