- Join us as we demonstrate how to create, rig and shoot body bullet hits (also known as squibs!), all with practical effects, an alternative where possible to using CGI for bloody action scenes!
The InCamera team are joined by Senior FX technician, Ted, who explains the whole process in detail.

Ted seems like a really nice cool bloke. Also knows his stuff. Great guy al round.
Thanks, great video!
He's one of the best :)
just waiting for Corridor crew to invite you guys to LA to do a practical vs CGI video, would be so fuckin fun.
Make it a 4 way with Corridor, InCamera, FilmRiot and Adam Savage. LOL.
Visually, practical wins every time when it comes to bullet hits and muzzle flashes, though.
Wow! So cool!
Great! Long time no see. And there is no doubt that the episode will be, as usual, absolutely cool! 😸
What a cool video. I've seen squibs explained and demonstrated before but this is by far the best. The emphasis on safety is especially important.
What about mixing computer graphics with squibs and in-camera effects? If you get a really great look on set with practical effects, is there any harm in just adding that cherry on top by tweaking it with a computer? Does anyone do that or is it typically all one way or the other?
No it's great to mix both! What's great about capturing anything practical on set is you then have material to create more, like duplicating hits
That was the most interesting intro I've seen to a TH-cam video in a looooong time. Bravo guys, this was impressive
Frontsies AND backsies! V v nice 💖
"Don't worry guys, this episode is about squibs!" Thank goodness, I thought that someone edited and uploaded footage of them shooting their best friend and TH-cam was just cool with it.
Hmmm... I thought you guys stopped posting to YT... hadn't seen a video in my feed since your update last fall. I think the first minutes of this video might be why! glad you're still kickin, content is great as it always has been and plane stuff looks fantastic!
id love to see a video doing the john woo chaos style pyro hits, stuff flying everywhere and chunks of wall blowing apart
I always enjoy behind the scenes and special effects and makeup effects content so this was entertaining
these hits were amazing !
Tadaaaas the Apple is unscathed!!!
Director Robert Rodriguez had an easy way to do head-shot bullet hits. He used an air-cannon to shoot a bit of gore onto the performer's forehead. He then tracked in a darkened bullet-hole in Post.
Awesome vid as always! Thanks again for your teams hard work to make this top notch video.
That was really interesting bruh
Time to put the shirt up for auction!
Haha, it's around here somewhere...
Great video guys. Are the charges actually punching out little holes in the shirt? What about using squibs on thicker material like jackets etc? I’d imagine there would need to be a decent amount of energy there, or is it a physical projectile that’s sent through to punch out the clothing? But then that sounds like a serious hazard to the filming crew.
@@MrLuckynachos Good question. The answer is that professional squibs used to simulate body bullet hits are technically very small and accurately formulated high explosives that are specifically designed to not fragment or send projectile fragments when ignited. The explosive energy that they can be capable of is quite outstanding, considering their size, therefore added safety precautions must be made. They are very capable of making holes in clothing and layers or thin wood such as balsa, but very often when used under clothing - the fabric will be either pre-weakened by scoring with a razor blade or bleaching the fabric to make it more prone to rip and tear. Because fabric is so flexible, there is a small chance that it will absorb or deflect part of the blast from the squib - so usually clothing and fabric is at the very least shaved from the inside with a razor blade to make that specific area a bit thinner and more likely to offer no resistance to the blast from the squib.- JP
It is like comparing apples and uzis.
11:07 He almost caught the apple as he fell to the floor.
As a teenager, I thought that sticking a stage maroon inside a kilo bag of flour would produce a big cloud of dust. Instead it produced a 10m wide diaphanous fireball that hung in the air for long seconds. Fortunately I conducted this "experiment" outside.
There is so much work in this, no wonder CGI is taking over; but you can't beat the practical effects.
Fire and Flour. LOL!!! Do you have any footage?!? That would be epic to see! Lol
Had you used talc or cement powder, that's what would have happened.
Flour burns. For the best effect use cornflour, or better still, custard powder.
@@TryptychUK Given that I went to school near Cadbury's Bournville factory, you'd think I'd have thought of the possibility of a dust explosion. 🙄
@@euansmith3699 Well yes. One actually happened in a flour mill near me and damn near flattened the building.
@@TryptychUK Yikes! 😬
Fantastic video
The white shirt guy was 1 sec later to react to the gun shot . The whole vid was very informative.
I'd love if you could do something on an exploding limb I seen some people make them able to reset. Idk if they do it with magnets or what. But I'd love to learn.
Low or no budget. Compressor with tubing. Much safer.
Film Riot has done a lot of videos on that. Maybe you guys could do a companion video to this with safer alternatives for similar effect?
That's a great shout. We demonstrated a similar, really simple approach using a drain unblocker in one of our Box o' Tricks eps. But something more fleshed out would be really fun!
@@InCameraTV I forgot about that one. Thanks for re.inding me. 😀
@@InCameraTV If you haven't already got it, I recommend "The technique of Special Effects in Television" by the late, great Bernard Wilkie.
It's very old school but a lot of the techniques covered are still in use today, and he shows a very good cheap and dirty method for using compressed air lines being fire via solenoid actuated valves. Restart is easy, no charges to replace, just refill with Fuller's Earth and a bit of paper tape and paint over.
Bearing in mind that bullets are not explosive and walls are generally not metal, there should be no sparks or smoke, just dust.
*Outstanding as usual!*
Have you guys ever considered doing an episode talking about practical effects accidents...such as the tragedies with Alec Baldwin and Halyna Hutchins, Brandon Lee, Jon-Erik Hexum etc.?
Oof! That's a can o worms right there!
@@InCameraTV
Oh! Indeed!!!
🤔You're not afraid of a few worms...are ya?! 😉
I'm kind of surprised he missed the apple. I mean a semi-blind Han Solo hit the Sarlac tentacle wrapped around Landos leg.
If anyone ever made any sort of realistic looking prop blood now, he'd probably go broke. People are so used to the unrealistic red sauce that they wouldn't want the real stuff any more.
Where ca i buy those?
I would actually prefer doing it this way instead of CGi as I want my shorts to feel real, is it a simpler solution to this for us just to get started alone with a small crew? Like a pre-rigged thing I could buy and just use and get some of the results? OR is it too complicated for a new beginner like me to do these things without a professional beside me in production? Amaazing work guys ! :-)
For squibs, on people especially, you really need to have someone experienced on set, to prep everyone and facilitate the effect.
@@InCameraTV ok, then I will wait till I actually can pay a dedicated person on set to d this, that knows how to do it. Is he a part of the Special Effects team then? OR how do you find SFX people?
you can experiment with e-matches and perchlorate based flash powder (approx 0.15/0.2 grams ) in a small cardboard tube.
Try them out as ground hits.
It will give you nice beginners experience on using this stuff.
@@Pietje_Piraat thank you for the tip, appreciate it 🙂
How would one hire a squib specialist to cover myself in squibs and activate them to prank my friends
You'd have to find an SFX crew near you... Not sure they'd be up for doing it outside of a controlled set environment tho tbh
Never apologize....
👍👍👍👍
What is the definition of an Intellectual?
Somebody who can listen to the William Tell Overture, and not think of the Lone Ranger. 😀
Who is this guy's full name
WARNING: Do Not Read this if you don't want to spoil the film for yourself, you can't unseen how the effects are done once i tell you
One of the biggest gun production ever "Saving Private Ryan" surprisingly didn't use many squibs on their stuntman/actors. Instead the guns were actually firing balls full of dust (Similar to a paint ball) to re-create a bullet impact. Because Steve is a Masterclass filmmaker all of the trauma you experience with the close ups that did you squibs or VFXs trick you as you watch soldiers fall to a puff of dust in the larger shots.
Now every time i watch the film i can't help but think how "dusty" this German army is :p
Yes indeed! We did a paintball dust hits episode a while back. The 'zirc' hits are worth checking out ;)
That's actually not true from what I heard. I heard many of the gun's triggers in SPR were rigged to remote detonate squibs.
Hello Dr strange
Hey…….. you bruised the apple
Is the interviewer related to Lloyd Evans at all? Because he looks, and sounds, uncannily like him.
Harry brown would've been a much better film with squibs.
can you do a diy version?
Check this out, lot's of potential for safe blood fx: th-cam.com/video/FEvoPDC9hBE/w-d-xo.html
ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
Uhhhh I don't think blood splats out like that is realistic, the blood is supposed to be thin and flew out like a small dust cloud
Yeah agreed. We used one of the smaller charges here. To get the big sprays you need big charges meaning more protective gear and they're expensive! One day!
Wow, very simple but very hard to do effect.
Where is the muzzle flash?
Ok, I hate to be the turd in the Punchbowl, but there was about 16 shots, and 4 squibs...
Otherwise this was a great video.
