  • How to make Dry Ice Comets: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    S1 E52 - 2m 44s

    Follow-up to our "Creating Dry Ice Comets" episode where we show the step by step process of how to create your very own comets.

  • Creating Dry Ice Comets in 4K: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Creating Dry Ice Comets in 4K

    S1 E51 - 2m 24s

    A main ingredient to a comets core is dry ice. As it gets closer to the sun the ice sublimates into the vacuum of space. Putting dry ice into a shallow pool of water will produce a similar reaction.

  • How to Turn a Stroller Into a Dolly: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    How to Turn a Stroller Into a Dolly

    S1 E50 - 5m 12s

    If it has wheels, there's a pretty good chance I'm going try and make a dolly out of it. So after our baby shower, I started looking at our very nice new stroller (thanks sis!), and took some test drives around our wood floors.

  • Recreating the Aurora Borealis: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Recreating the Aurora Borealis

    S1 E49 - 2m 43s

    We attempt to create the Aurora Borealis with a sheet of fabric and a handful of fans. We discovered that throwing the image a little out of focus really creates a believable visual effect that can be composited into a scene to create the Aurora.

  • Petri Dish Planets: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Petri Dish Planets

    S1 E48 - 5m 43s

    I attempt to make planets with food coloring , milk, and dish soap.

    Hologram Thriller

    S1 E47 - 2m 20s

    I found this skeleton animation on my computer doing the dance from Michael Jackson's Thriller and turned it into a hologram using a steamer for clothes.

  • Stop-Motion Star Wars: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Stop-Motion Star Wars

    S1 E46 - 4m 4s

    Watch us try and recreate the Millennium Falcon shot from the teaser trailer to STARS WARS "The Force Awakens" using stop motion animation.

  • Creating the Cosmos: In-Depth Look: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Creating the Cosmos: In-Depth Look

    S1 E45 - 5m 22s

    An in-depth look at Creating the Cosmos. In this episode I break down my process of creating cosmic backgrounds with my "sheet of glass" technique. Hopefully you guys will get a better understanding of how this process works by watching me break the steps down.

  • Rebuilding the Interstellar Black Hole: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Rebuilding the Interstellar Black Hole

    S1 E44 - 4m 17s

    Watch us rebuild the INTERSTELLAR black hole with all "In-Camera" elements. I've been looking forward to seeing INTERSTELLAR for some time now, and figured this would be a very timely & fun topic to tackle.

  • Back to the Future: Compositing Techniques: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Back to the Future: Compositing Techniques

    S1 E43 - 9m 27s

    Our third installment deals with the post production process in achieving our "time slice effect" & "forced perspective" seen in the previous two episodes.

  • Back to the Future: Forced Perspective: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Back to the Future: Forced Perspective

    S1 E42 - 5m 8s

    In our second Back to the Future installment, we tackle the technique of "Forced Perspective". Forced Perspective is a visual effect that can make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is.

  • Back to the Future: Stop Motion: asset-mezzanine-16x9

    Back to the Future: Stop Motion

    S1 E41 - 5m 33s

    After doing the Ghostbusters proton streams I came up with an idea to re-create the time slice effect from Back to the Future using stop-motion animation & light painting techniques.
