DoC's Resume How-to Videos

In 2004 I worked on a film in Thailand, the local pyro guys were very good at making effects from everyday items, they had methods I had never seen before and taught me many great tricks of their trade.They sourced a gum rosin which made a excellent dry fireball, but due to a language barrier and secret mens business the real idenity and other uses of this gum rosin was never found.I have great respect for the way those Thai pyrotechnicians could do their trade on a shoe string budget, every pyro device hand made just before the shot.In return we taught them some of our safe methods, doing large explosive effects close to stunt personel and extras, also a quiet cannon effect was something we demonstrated.Nearly every material we used was derived from the humble coconut, so we called it applied coconut technology, ACT.Questions on these methods will not be answered through youtube.

Film is Naresuan (Thai Film)The film concerns the life of King Naresuan, who liberated the Siamese from the control of Burma. Born in 1555, he was taken to Burma as a child hostage; there he became acquainted with sword fighting and became a threat to the Burmese empire.

Yes, the trick is to get lubricant free ones..so you can tape them to the plate which protects the person being shot.

Very Cool!!! Did you have those warriors flying through the air on wires?

blood squibs are made onto metal plates, then attached to the inside of clothes, sometimes a condom is used to hold the blood.the scene where the people are flying in the air is done with thin wire pulled with air rams, stunt performers have special flying gear on....there is no blue screens, and its a reminder that good effects can be done in camera..what you see is what you get.

Ahh cool. Bad that we couldn't see everything he used to make the blodsquib, cause that would be just awesome. When they "plant" the squibs on a human, does they use something under? Do they make anything under the t-shirt, to make the wound more realistic?I got another question to, that i hope you would like to answer. How do the peoples fly so high on the explosion on 7:59? Bluescreen? That would be very dangerous if it were real though. Thank you for taking time to answer!
