Aspiring do-it-yourself video-makers, meet Eric Beck: he may be your new online bestfriend. As the host of Next New Networks's how-to weekly series "Backyard FX," Beck offers "Hollywood style-special effects for extra value meal prices," as he says in the introductory webisode, with specific topics ranging from building jet packs to puppets, zombies to this week's entry, bloody gunshot wounds. While the show – sort of a "Mythbusters" for the underground filmmaker – is as low-budget as the showcased effects, the videos are crisply edited, informative, and Beck, himself, is an affable and entertaining webcaster.
Launched in mid-May, Backyard FX's YouTube channel "Indy Mogul," has 4,202 subscribers and their recent video on how to make ultra-cheap zombie make-up has received nearly 450,000 YouTube views since going up last week. New webisodes go up every Monday, with suggestions from viewers fueling subsequent shorts. With no shortage of pleas for help from video-makers ("I challenge you to make an exploding head, or an exploding body part," writes in one fan), Beck and the Next New Networks crew will be keeping busy in the weeks to come.
