The first annual Indy Mogul pumpkin carving contest is over, and the grand prize went to Cian Murphy. You can see the winnering entry at the end of this weeks BFX. Choosing a winner was extremely hard because we had so many amazing entries. Out of the hundreds of pumpkins submitted there were 37 finalist who made it into the final vote. We are all amazed at the time and creativity put into...
We've got to get this guy to post how he made this! I thought it was CG when he first walked in. Good Indy'ing fine sir.
So, this is my first time blogging other than the few times I dabbled with that Xanga thing. Is that even around still? OK, apparently it is. Losers.
So, my name is Mike Wallach, but everyone just calls me “Wally.” I go to the School of Visual Arts in New York City and live locally on 10th street and 3rd Ave. I’m one of the new interns at Next New Networks, working primarily with the folks at...

One of our young forum members and an "uber filmmaker," known in the Indy Mogul world as "ericslovechild", put this together. I'm not quite sure if he's actually Erik's legitimate son (or even illegitimate for that matter), but he sure knows how to catch our attention. DANCING!!!! We love to dance, and I'm pretty sure this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Thanks...
If you don't already know who the wonderful Bre Pettis is, you should consider yourself woefully uneducated in the world of internet superstars. He's the champion behind Make's "Weekend Projects," always bringing new and mind-expanding ways to build things you'd never think of otherwise.
He gave us a call the other day, asking us to stop by and shoot an episode with him. We...
Making a ghost effect is one of the oldest tricks in special effects, but before the use of Optical Printers and green screens, effects makers used a trick known as "Pepper's Ghost" in which a semi-transparent mirror was used to reflect an image of a person standing off-camera.
They would paint the space behind the actor solid black, and shine a spot light on him, and get him at such an angle...
How to become Zombie (revisit)
Hey everyone and welcome to the technical blog for Episode #24 (zombies revisited). We've worked on zombies before, but I couldn't let Mogulween pass by without doing another "undead" episode. Everyone should check out the first zombie episode and the associated blog. Send in your zombie movies, or log into the forums and challenge us to a...
