LEARN VFX’S SECRETS TO MAKING GAME CHANGING HAUNT PRODUCTS

A Note From Patrick Voss:

“Back in 2009 I teamed up with James Gregson of Gregson Studios to create a line of DIY videos on how I do some of my effects work. It was called VFXsecrets. With the state of things now, we have decided to revisit that and have several ideas for instructional videos on how to create products like ours.

We are reaching out to you for feedback on what YOU are most interested in with these. Please take a look and give me some feedback. The course that gets the most interest will be the one we do.

Once we pick a course based on level of interest, we will set it up on Kickstarter.com to raise funds to complete it. If you’re not familiar with Kickstarter it’s a crowdfunding website. Whatever course we do will be available after the Kickstarter at a retail price, but during the Kickstarter you’ll be able to order it at a discounted price.

Here’s a BONUS we’re throwing in. If you participate in the Kickstarter for a VFXsecrets course, and it’s successful, the amount you pledge can be used as a one-time discount on your next purchase at full price of select products through VFXcreates.com online store. You can even let a friend use your one-time discount.
(Cannot be used with any other discount or sale. Expires 2 months after a successful Kickstarter ends)”

COURSE 2: Making a Lunging Crate Creature

VFX lead artist and designer, Doug Schaefer had a great idea…let’s turn our Crate Creatures into Lunging Crate Creatures! This product looks like you are carrying around a creepy critter in a crate, and then BAM!…the creature lunges out up to 3 feet at you!  Includes a Puppet Master Sound System™ with creature sounds to complete the effect and a harness to eleviate weight if using it for long periods.

Painstakingly designed and built by VFX lead artist, Doug Schaefer. This product has confused, scared and intrigued many people at the trade shows we do, and has received rave reviews from our customers. A video of it in action went viral and, I believe has surpassed 30m views.
