Boom! Watch that fire. Watch it, but please don’t try and make it. Try and guess which effects are real, and which are fake. I bet you can’t tell!
VFX are great to learn and all, but nothing beats great practicals. This video proves that.
We filmed in beautiful wintery Minnesota during 2009, as a culmination of tricks we have learned after tinkering for years.
Shoot Your Friends is back with another episode! This time we let you in on the secret of color grading. Your friends will ask, “Why do your movies look so great? Did you get a new camera?” And you will laugh at them for not knowing the secret!
Do not laugh too hard though, or you will hurt their feelings. Instead, show them this handy video.
Many of you have asked us for tutorials, so we have created a webseries to do just that! Every few weeks we will explore an important facet of movie production, whether it’s a VFX tutorial, or a lesson on tricks to do with your camera.
Next up, I think we will talk about bullet hits. We just need to find a bunch of machine guns first.

Welcome to the first episode of Shoot Your Friends, a tutorial/learning series where we give you the inside scoop on all aspects of digital filmmaking!
Many of you have asked us for tutorials, so we have created a webseries to do just that! Every few weeks we will explore an important facet of movie production, whether it’s a VFX tutorial, or a lesson on tricks to do with your camera.
Upcoming topics include color grading, and a walkthrough on how we create our bullet hits. Stay tuned!
Greenside, a biodome built in the wake of famine and poverty, houses the only cure for Jackson’s ill girlfriend, Acacia. In order to obtain it, Jackson must infiltrate the heavily fortified Greenside, under endless waves of Zero Troopers all commanded to destroy him!

This is a film that we completed last year. Believe it or not, neither Sam nor Niko actually went to film school, so this is the closest thing we’ve got to a student film.
We teamed up with our good friend Eric Lim to put this together. He produced it, and played the lead, and we took care of the shooting, directing, and editing.
If anyone is interested in watching the full film, head on over to zerotrooper.com. There you can stream it, or download it for your xbox 360 and PS3!

This was all shot on the Sony FX-1 with a 35mm adapter, and we used Final Cut Pro for editing, and After Effects for the FX!
We’ll be making a tutorial in a few weeks showing you how to do some awesome bullet hits similar to what we have here.

Sam and Niko talk about how they made Frozen Crossing 2. Some of the things we talk about include bullet hits, blood hits, CG choppers, and the slow motion breach scene!
We’ll be making some tutorial videos over the next few weeks. We read everything you guys write, so leave us a comment on what you would like to know!
