Break an Arm, Blow up a Head and... Batman?

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 – running time 10:36

Episode two is here. Today we show you how to break an arm in half and blow up some poor fool's head. And if that wasn't enough for you to click play... Batman!

For our latest episode we decided to give ourselves two rules: 1) We can’t spend over $50 and 2) Each effect must be planned and shot in under a day.

For the first effect, and more simplistic of the two we show you how you can make a head explode by using free downloadable assets from detonationfilms.com. Click here to download the exploding head clip from detonationfilms.com.

Unlike the exploding head, the second effect is done all in camera with no post- production needed. So if you do not have the money for expensive post- production software, this one is for you. All you need is a very strange grocery list of things and you will be grossing your friends out in no time.

Once you’re done, check out our Film Riot twitter for updates on the latest movie news and filmmaking tips.

And if you have an idea for an effect that you’d like to see made into an episode, shoot us an email at: filmriot@revision3.com
