Action FX is a small group of people dedicated to making low budget special effects and techniques for student directors. There seem to be quite a few videos out there that are rather misleading. Action FX is here to combat that with accurate information that can be used by anyone to recreate the effects we do for a minimum of cost.

The current list of videos that ... will be posted in the next few weeks are:

Electronic Igniters
Nail Boards
Ground Squibs
Spark Squibs
Body Squibs 1 and 2
Smoke Grenades
Smoke Mixes
Steady Cams and Dollys
Lighting
Filters and Camera settings
Blanks and Blank Guns
Other uses for Igniters
Water and Concrete Squibs
Sound and Microphones
Foley Sound
Green and Blue Screens
Breakaway (Candy) Glass
Breakaway Chairs etc.
12 Things to Take on a Shoot

Feel free to make any suggestions for videos, and we will try our best to come up with a low budget solution.

All of the proceeds that we make (if we do) will go to materials and equipment to make more special effects how to videos in addition to supporting local film makers with special effects (we will post the effects sections of their videos with their permission.)

Some of the things we cover in these videos are illegal in some areas, and it is up to you to know your local laws concerning pyrotechnics.
