Fan Film Special Effects

[JM Metalworks]

Along with making armor, low budget special effects is a hobby of mine. As such I have been working on Low budget special fx how to's for a while now. When I have everything filmed I'll start posting the actual how to's and putting the links in here. My host is leaving the country for a few months so I plan on having everything done by the end of December, before she leaves.



There will be 7 videos in the first batch.



Electronic Igniters

Nail Boards

Ground Squibs

Spark Squibs

Body Squibs 1

Body Squibs 2

Smoke Grenades



Till then, we made this video a while ago as a short demo of these effects.

And if you are currently making a fan film and need fx help before I put out the how to's, message me. I can help over the phone at least.



And just to be clear these are special effects not visual effects. The difference is that visual effects are added afterward with a computer.

Nice video can't wait to see what you can do for Halo movie effects, maybe peter Cooper can use you for his movie.

With editing, I think I can have igniters done in a week. But by itself, I think, that video will be rather boring.

that was a nice vide but the tutorial i know everyone will want to see is the bullett wound effect and the missed shot effect
