Tem-plate 🇬🇧
If you want to go a little more Macabre you could use chicken bones as greebles.(I am not sure how to properly prep them)
looks superb, i hope the film will be shot soon so I can watch it 🎞👍
Nice build looking forward to the video
Awesome video! 😊
bored actors conundrum…whenever you make a prop idiot proof you're only inadvertently developing/promoting the evolution of a more advanced idiot who is assured of their own infallibility because any accidents that take place are someone else's fault
when you make another one of these consider having the bolts'screws holding it together intentionally and very obviously mismatched since these would be assembled from scavenged materials…and using tools that are probably broken or very nearly so…might be subtle but something to consider for your close ups of the hero or beauty props
Very nice tutorial 👌
Heh… interesting camo-techniques. Though if I had my druthers, I'd also go for the more digi-cam look.
The Epoxalypse Mk I.
REALLY excited to see zombie apocalypse stuff!!
also today is my 1 year anniversary 😀
1:35 at this point that aesthetic is overdone, and the max max black leather hasn’t been touched since the 90s.
You did an outstanding job on this build.
Regarding the rest of this comment, if you already know it, I apologize in advance. Hopefully it can help someone out there though.
I do want to touch on camo, especially if you end up doing a military character in the future (I also hope this makes sense). Camo isn't supposed to completely hide a person or object–that's what ghillie suits are for. It's supposed to obscure details that could be picked out at a distance.
When applying the paint, the midtone(s) should be applied on most everything, the lighter tone(s) on the deepest recesses, and darker tone(s) on the areas that stand out. You want it to blend and appear "flat and shadowless," though for a movie you would want the characters to be seen a bit. In that situation, instead of the colors being 1-3 gradients from each other, push them further to 4-6 gradients so there is more contrast between them.
great! as a suggestion; if you are planning on some old farm environment, you should do a crossbow with some leafsprings from old cars/carts. they are absolutely realistic, easy to get on junkyard and authentic I think.
Really great build Anthony! The effects in post really sell the prop!
You could have perhaps bought a second one,or extra bolts. Cut bolt heads off, weather the bolts as you did here. Then the blunt ones could be used in close ups as if they had "pierced" the actor?
OMG…the music, Fallout series…or least something of that type…Fallout new Vegas….Honestly Anthony you are the one who could do that. I have seen your productions, you could do this 100% and people would watch it. 30min – 1hr and ep 20-23 ep Series. I can see it. Fallout New vegas sci fi post apoc series….you could do it!
So two thoughts on duct tape, the first is just kissing them with a little sand paper before weathering could help, the second is that a real fix for stripped screw holes is jam a little piece of duct tape in the whole to give the threads something to bite on, and having that peeking out around one or more screws could help to tell that story.
