Today, we visit Erik’s workshop to discover what he’s been making for the past few years and how you can start DIY filmmaking today.
Erik talks to us about making high-end branded content after Indy Mogul. He tells us what every filmmaker needs to have in their tool bag. We also cover DIY lighting solutions and how to shape it with the things you can find in every hardware store. Finally, we break down the elephant in the room - Erik’s DIY motion control rig that he made for less than $3,000.

Ohhhhh man... those DIYs clips took me way back. Great video my dudes!
What a great combination of Indy Mogul's history and practical advice all rolled up into a very entertaining episode!
Aw thanks Curtis!
Pro tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Emmanuel Grey Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D
Been watching Indy mogul since i was kid and just got back into watching. You guys are amazing
Thanks for the support!
Same! Since his wolverine claws and lightsaber stuff. thats what got me into filmmaking
TheCreativeAnimation seriously remember the mini gun they made and the old Dolly’s
hippawable
I clicked on this video to write the exact same thing! Indy Mogul was the first ever RUclips channel I subscribed to as a kid!
Same here, Indy Mogul was my childhood. Now that I'm interested in stepping into filmmaking (as an adult that can actually somewhat afford to do so lol) it's been nothing but nostalgic flashback.
Ive been here since mini DV and before erik moved to NYC for indy mogul. Damn good to see everything here still alive and kicking!
I was an Indy Mogul fiend back in the day and Erik's builds got me jazzed up every time and fueled my filmmaking back then. I'm so glad it's so so SO much easier now
omg i want a tutorial on that diy motion control rig
I got an in-person tutorial on how it worked and I’m still not sure if I understand it
we need a tutorial ... damn we need it :)
@@indymogul For most of the people its easier to study a ton of tutorials for 1 year than earning more than 100000ish dollar per year. Everybody who wants this tutorial: thumbs up! :) Please tell Erik the demand. There are definitely a lot of people who would pay for this tutorial, maybe on udemy. Greetings, Veronika and Marcus
Edu Puertas does asimilar one
What a great trip back in time to the glory days of DIY filmmaking. I LOVE the innovative problem solving skills that a lot of these solutions help to develop.
The nostalgia ahhh used to watch every one of your videos back then I was 8-9 years old and I remember crying watching the farewell video when you guys stopped making videos.
That motion control system is 🔥🔥
mondooooo! we've got to show you this thing in person some time
Indy Mogul I'd love to see it, heck I want one! 🤣
Those flashbacks bring back some memories!
That was a great episode. I wish I had been into indy mogul since the beginning, I only found you since you started again and you're one of my favourite channels. Keep up the good work!
the first time you put a timestamp for the ad i gave you a like, but for the second one a sub is truly in order. good idea.
You guys were the first ever RUclips channel I subscribed to as a kid. You inspired me a ton as a kid.
It's great to see Erik again! Great episode, guys!
The nostalgia is real. Indy Mogul was my childhood, so awesome to see all this new content for us indie filmmakers 💯🔥👊🏻
That motion control station is so cool!
Now if they would just bring back Backyard FX, I would be a happy camper!
Bro you're channel rock's.
I listened to this podcast today and had to watch the video as soon as I got home.
thanks for tuning in!
I really loved this video. Takes me back to my teen years
Love the podcast! Thanks so much!!
Can he start making the mini bolt available for purchase???
Well, we can ask him. HEY ERIK! Please respond to this!!! :)
Love Erik
LMFAO I made the PVC pipe fig rig back when Indy Mogul first posted that! How we've grown...
this! ^ -- literally our childhood too
Erik’s DIY motion control rig should be sold LOL
That was really interesting. Thanks very much.
FYI, furny pads ARE FLAMMABLE, so it is against (most) fire codes, and common sense to staple them (or permanently adhere them) to your ceiling, especially in a workshop where open flames or sparks could be present.
Thanks for the tip, no more juggling fire for Erik.
Watching BFX is what made me want to make movies. I have finally figured out the format I want to film in and how to present my content. But I would like to know what camera would be good for shooting an action scene?
my boy yc made the cut, loved the video
I thump this down. Because there was very little DIY in this video. One is the cost of the DIY.
A lot of people to this day still don't have that kind of money to have 3D printers or high-tech gear.
the whole purpose of DIY is to make things with little or no money! That is what this channel was built on!
wait. you guys are back? 😱😱😱
Great video, I really liked it, but if you're including a 10 and a 45-second ad into the video, why interrupt the video with two 5-15 second ads?
Would you mind sharing the details of this 3D-printed follow focus adapter? Thanks!
Killer video, what camera and how did you cam shake? In final cut?
Finna pull a backyard FX but without the Innapropiate puppet
Were'd you get that hat dude?
Can We expect to see any more of erik ever?
oh absolutely -- get ready, Erik is going to be doing his own regular show
What is a normal suv car truck? Sounds pretty interesting Ted!!! Lol jk jk great video as usual guy! Keep making us magic!
this is awesome thanks :D
Can we please bring back backyard fx please?
Old monitors make a great housing for DIY lights if you're working with LED strips. They have 3+ layers of diffusion, as well as a really cool fresnel lens layer. The LEDS can be placed right in front, while all the wiring just hangs out in the back. The aluminum panel inside even acts like a heat sink.
Cool video
How to make a film using phone
yo, I want a tour of that workshop.
Super vidéo tank you
9:15 *100%* dogbones and any rig joints, custom mounts...
What's Erik Thingiverse profile?
Like seriously, I pretty sure backyard fx is how most people found this channel.
BECK IS BACK!
AW YEAH
"Build things like this..." Lexus commercial pops up. LOL
yooo, where we can get a Indy Mogul T shirt??
It's our boy
It's 2022 and I'm still running with a T2i
OH, THIS IS FJJRURHRJEISNRJRU!! 13 year old me is squealing with delight!!!!
where is the puppet?
Anyone got a 3D Printing model for Focus Gears?
I too love China balls... Didn't some company show a reasonably priced bowens mount, collapsable, fabric china ball with cool velcro shading fabric at NAB 2019? When I went to that unnamed company's site, I don't see anything about it even though I have a fist full of not terribly much money yelling "Take my money!" at the screen...
BFX for fucking life
wait, ive been gone since eric left. when did he come back?
What was the biggest "Oh S***!" moment you've ever had on set?
The sound is bad, I constantly had to adjust my volume
I miss Zak finfrock, I know I probably didn't spell his name right.
Zack Finfrock
Iron Man does exist!
Green screens?
ERIK
Man you sound like Obama, lol!
I had to search the comments for the word Obama, cause I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought that...LOL
RUclips just unsigned me 😳
Make a movie
*canon t2i* "welcome to 2008!"...more like two months ago...
Conflict of interest much? Talking about DIY lighting while working for Aputure? lol
It just doesn't have a personality anymore
bruh youre not gonna detail the software at all? even name it? smdh
Had to skip 3 minutes.
"Gear is cheap. Scary cheap."
*Laughs in recession*
Holy crap! A DIY motion control rig?! You’re a genius! I mean, like, crazy, filmmaker genius!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "BUT WHY"?? THAT GAFF GUN LOOKS INCREDIBLE
BUT WHY?
working in live multicam, having to tape hundreds of feet of SDI/XLR/fiber runs, show after show... Gaffgun might be the most amazing product I've ever seen. Link sent to producer for purchase. 🤞
"SUPERTIMELAPSE WOO"
LOL! DIY yourself a bolt. Awesome! p.s. Tools on set - nickles. Ya know, those old school coin things we used to buy things with? Useful for camera screws and QR plates. I tried using a credit card, doesn't work. :)
Would you believe it... I just found this channel directed by Film Riot!! Awesome awesome content guys. Your videos are so helpful for 36 year old filmmaker who cannot afford to leave his day job for film-school!
Keep at it guys
I’d love to do a global collaboration with other zero budget indie filmmakers one day :)
aw, thanks for tuning in Scott!
Man what happened to Indy mogul I knew :( I loved watching the prop building and the small movies at the end
Erik is the motivator that got me into this industry.
I'm so confused, if you're interviewing Erik, then WHO is Indy Mogul now? I was a subscriber when Indy Mogul relaunched with Erik, then kinda lost interest. The second rise of the Phoenix captured my attention a bit because Ted is very dynamic, but does a lot of travel for IM content. Did IM change hands again? Like I said, I'm very confused about WHO is Indy Mogul and WHO owns it and runs it now.
me! - Ted We've got a new team that have been helping us run the channel since the relaunch. Glad that you've been digging the recent videos.
Hey Erik Beck whatever happened with "Father/Son Run" I followed along during production and donated and would love to actually see the finished movie! I still have my poster stored away safely and my old fan and laptop had FSR stickers all over them too! Hope you see this dude
aw man.... you guys chose the shot of my big FAT @$$ cutting bead board hahahaha pretty cool though, big fan
It’s Dave! You’ve got a great butt!
Holy shit!
Eric’s lightsaber episode literally launched my career 😭
I discovered Video Copilot from it and it all spiraled from there
I still use a T2i! It’s still great
it's a classic! I've still got mine too.
12:13 obviously not a GoPro, but i LOVE the zoom Q2n, underrated camera IMO
Erik is a great friend and a true visionary. Seeing the old school Indy clips gives me just a blast of nostalgia. So great!
the best ^
Gaffer's tape and bailing wire.
What software was he using for the xbox controller controlling the camera?
Lego is the coolest shit ever invented. Why wouldnt anyone like Lego?
Lol. Just this past weekend pricing out PVC for a backdrop/green screen. An OK on Amazon was cheaper than the PVC itself would cost.
Definitely price out your materials lists and see if it would be worth paying $5 more to not have the agro of the build when you can buy off the shelf :)
This channel used to mean something. It's not even the same channel anymore.
I kinda hate the obsession with 3d printing. So much of what's done with them is better done in basically any other way and the expense of a decently robust one is enough that you'd be better off getting a small cnc mill (or realistically a used manual mill and convert it to cnc) which will let you do metal and plastic--and I know for me personally, the learning curve for machining was hella lower than for 3d printing, and I learned machining first, so a bunch of the crossover stuff like pathing, measuring, and the like is on the machining side. There's just so much more to go wrong with 3d printing.
And to be clear, I'm not hating on 3d printing. The things it's great for it's amazing for, but they're not the great general thing-maker people think.
Seeing Grip Tips on one of your broll made me smile! Grip Tips is one of the best youtube channels out there!
Dave is the best! We watch him every week too.
I excited for him also
I really like the ad countdown timer in the corner. I'm not sure why, but it makes the ad read more tolerable somehow. Maybe it's just because it makes it feel finite and therefore survivable. Either way, just wanted to call out that tiny but appreciated detail
Is it me or is the audio kind of low?
Yup i had to put my headphone to hear better
my first vid i saw from you was the frizbee that cut that person in half thanks for being in my childhood
LEGO’s are the bomb......hmmmmmmm......make a lego bomb......
what is that software called?!
And just where the Fuck have you been ERIK?!?!?!
