It’s Thursday and time for another episode of tunic.
Let’s take the first question. St. Anger 115 wants to know if they should use the blood squirting rig from the leg tear episode for a gunshot effect.
Actually, that rig did not even work that well. I would go with the blood shooters from one of our first episodes or check out Keir McDonald’s gunshot effect that he did on Weekend Extra.
Mikas, that chic, wants to know if Steve really loves potato salad. He would say he only likes potato salad but I think that photo speaks for itself.
Legendary Louie wanted to know how he did the face warp effect in the possessed test film.
Basically, what I did is take a screenshot from the video, put it in the photoshop, mush around Justin’s face and then put it back into the video and I kind of just key motioned it around his face and then he became an evil-demon thing.

Aaron Held wants to know how to make a little person like an army of darkness. Maybe like a little army of little Aarons running around. Start by shooting your actor on a green screen and you just need to place them on an enlarged background. Like for instance, we are going to shoot Steve back here and I am going to put him right here on this table.
Check it out.
Man 1: Hey Eric. I’m so small.
Zombies wanted to know if Justin, Steve or I went to film school. I personally did not go to film school but let’s call Steve and Justin to find out.
[phone ringing]
Steve: Yes. What do you want?
Male 1: Hey Steve. What’s up? I am filming in queue with Eric. Did you go to film school?
Steve: Film school? No. I didn’t go to film school. I’m too pretty for film school.
Male 1: Okay.
Steve: Yes. Give Justin a call.
[phone ringing]
Justin: Hello?
Male 1: Hey Justin. Did you go to film school?
Justin: Film school… what school? Oh yeah! That thing that I’ve dropped out in third grade.

Sanity Source was curious about scenes where a character walks down a dead end hallway and then the point of view flips over and then you could see back the other and he wanted to know how they shot this. Why don’t you see the camera man.
Now, there are two tricks to this. One, they probably filmed it in two totally different scenes not at the same. And two, they probably had a removable wall at the end of that dead end so they would shoot him walking down the hallway and you see the dead end and they would flip it over and they could probably remove that wall and then have the camera man right there basically filming where the wall was to shoot out. That’s a trick.
Joe Big Banana Peel wanted to know if I can dance. Joe, you have no idea.
[music playing]
What Joe? F****, I can dance.
Now, here is an awesome video question sent in by Magic Steve Diablo Joe.
Steve: Hello Indy Mogul. I’m Steve Crank and I’m a big fan of your show. One tutorial that has always stuck with me is this old man make up. I have a few questions that I want to know about this project. One, will I be able to survive the whole day with that make up on and everything.
The old age makeup should be good all day long. You’ll survive it. It’s probably gonna start to maybe peel a little bit after three or four hours. You might want to bring some spirit gum to kind of fix it up as long as you’re not sweating too much or eating a lot, you should be okay. Uncomfortable but okay.
Steve: Two, approximately how long did it take you to turn Chris into an old guy.
It took about an hour and a half to two hours to transform Chris into the old man you saw on the episode. So, make sure and get up really early.
Steve: And lastly, I want to maybe do a bald cap in my old man custom. Now, I’ve seen those and they’re pretty flat so I don’t know if wrinkles would work out too well or something. I may just have to put some thin black lines on it with some makeup and powder it.
Now with the bald cap, you should be able to create some wrinkles on the forehead. If you apply a light layer of liquid latex or your old man plastic or whatever that I use in the episode, it should behave pretty much like skin so you should be able to kind of smoosh it up, create wrinkles and then release and they should stay in the bald cap as well. Of course, as you said, makeup is going to enhance this effect.
All right Magic Steve, thanks very much for the video question. We love answering those and we’re going to end this show with some news from the forums.
Justin: Justin here to bring you your weekly wakeup call if you haven’t joined our forums yet.
What’s going on? Well, Wescog is everyone’s favorite of fine gent with nearly constant quality when it comes to answering questions. Three cheers for Wescog.
Cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer.
Oh yeah, and Sinkage is a swell guy too.
Hot names for your backyard fixed stunt dummies? Heather, Maureen, Mo Junior and Billy Bob Joe Brown#*$%&*^&*&^%&*#$&@^*%$*))*%. Wow.
The future expect, once Erick’s essence and his baby. And, instead of telling her that she was being naughty, you encourage her first six pages.
Shame on you. Shame.
Serial Killer Blue is away with the starting for an Indy Mogul game. Keep it up and you might end up seducing the future Erick’s speck. I hear she’s single, looking to mingle.
And finally, we got owned. Keep on some new questions in the usual places and we’ll see you here next week on queue with Erick.
