What special effects should I try next?
This was a pricey video. Thanks to my patrons for helping make this possible!!

Would be cool to see one of those cable systems they use to make Captain America super jump or something. Should probably invite some real stunt people from the stunt man reacts videos to not only give you the tips, trick, and warnings. Even if only just a zoom video call to warn you that to you need it to ramp up to speed slower so that it doesn't knock your knees off. 😉
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them; maybe you can hire Tyler Bell.
Squibs would be cool. Squibs and a fall could be cool.
I need an engineer to recreate that gag inducing uncanny baby from the final Twilight movie
Not sure if this makes an episode or just for you having fun. Take a run up at the air ram, but this time jump and land on it with both feet and your legs pretty straight (if your legs are bent, you'll probably end up crumpling and landing badly) then take to the skies. You'll find that you can slowly speed up the rams so that you can get used to the force AND the landings.
Have you've ever seen bungy trampolines at fares? They have kids connected to a bungy cord on each hip that stabilise them and help them control what they are doing. You might want to look at building a system like this that will allow you to be able to practice the really BIG jumps...... and flips, somersaults, etc. It will also help you move on to stunts like Captain America jumping a massive ally and into a higher floor window. It's all about building on the stunts and experience you already have, so that's probably the route I'd take. Have fun 😁😊😊😊👍👍👍
This was absolutely awesome!!! You've been killing these projects! You should come visit HERC sometime for a collab!
That would be amazing!!! (P.S. YALL ARE AWSOME!!!) (P.S.S. FIRST!)

What a beautiful build. And major kudos for testing it out on yourself! It’s really cool to see other CZcamsrs exploring the world of special effects engineering. -Niko

SHEEEEEEEEEESH
Something I've always wanted in real life are the Arial Faith Plates from Portal 2, and I always thought it was outlandish. I didn't know about the Air Rams, and the fact you made one yourself with nothing but an engineering degree, and a passion for 80s action movies, all made my dream come true.
Eyyyy I was looking for this comment
@@antonliakhovitch8306I was looking for a BO2 reference
You beat me to it
@@antonliakhovitch8306same
@@justaguy5151same bro exactly what I was thinking
I love how Tyler narrates the video, it almost feels like I'm discovering and solving these problems with him!
This next test involves the Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate.
It was part of an initiative to investigate how well test subjects could solve problems when they were catapulted into space.
Results were highly informative:
They could not. Good luck!
I’m honestly pretty sad more people didn’t think of this, the thumbnail itself got me thinking of portal and it’s the only reason I clicked on the video. GLaDOS would be so proud!
@@cyanicspectreskittleinc.9549 Same here.
The exact reason I clicked on this video 😂
I’m glad other people here share the same first thought.
Literally just went through that section of portal 2 last night hah
Those dusty paintballs are cool. I didnt know those existed.

I subbed so fast. I'm a 24 year old NASA simulation engineer for CCP, and I'm blown away by your understanding of hardware, structures, CAD, honestly just everything. The video quality, concept, and execution were all on par with Mark Rober. Super cool man, excited for more content.
Do you work for the jet propulsion laboratory? That place is where all the cool stuff is made dude people like u r my role model
@@kidwhodoesntknowcad no I work at Johnson Space Center as a simulation engineer.

Hey, that's pretty cool!
Dani reference
13:30 stunt guy here, some things I learned when I first used an air ram: keep running until you are in the air, you're anticipating the aerial part and start your aerial movements while still being launched.
As seen in the first practice runs it didn't end well and kept hitting parts of you're body on the ram. At first you weren't sure what to do but figured it out with more practice, and looks like you got a good foot placement for your ram. But started turning to try the Kool aerial stunts by doing a face-off/twist/180.
That turn should be done once airborne, not while trying to launch. You're using feet/legs to turn when they should be used to gain altitude. Most stunt people I've met that used this style of air ram use their upper body to turn.
best way to practice for me is by jumping up and down straight in the air and turning my shoulder as if someone is trying to grab my shoulder, the rest of the body follows. Basically jump in the air and do a 180.
After that incorporate that practice in to the aerial part of using an air ram.
The overall use should go like step-launch-aerial stuff-prep for land-land.
If you ever teach others to use your ram, take notes of where your foot is when stepping on the pressure plate and make sure they know where to place their foot as well. Also try practice runs where they run along the side of the ram instead of into the ram and watch where their foot would have stepped to see if it's the correct placement. Maybe put a piece of cardboard on the ground the same dimensions As the pressure plate. As you stated you couldn't see the plate with the helmet on, a new user of the air ram will be very nervous and might miss just as much as you did even without a helmet. They always get their brain in a twist when they have to worry about the steps, what to do in the air, etc.
Also I have always been told by all my riggers to treat an air ram like a gun, if you're carrying or adjusting the ram and it's loaded it'll snap your head off your neck.
A lot of comments here are saying I should have locked my knee and made my leg straight or stepped with both feet. Doesn't sound like a good idea. What do you think?
@@TylerBellMakes To me that screams broken knee. Maybe the pros that have MANY hours could develop a technique but I would say not worth the risk?
@@TylerBellMakes not a stuntman, but a lifter, so someone who knows what strain to joints is, i would keep my knee as close to straight as i could WITHOUT any chance of it locking out. If youre tightening the muscle and the joint is completely straight, the path of least resistance may be VERY different than the one you want. Look up leg press machine lock-out injuries if you want to learn how a knee DOESNT work, ruin your night, and be too afraid to ever use a leg press machine
@@TylerBellMakes I agree with pridedmaxx, locking knees will be bad for your joints. Everyone that has ever taught me to use these types of air rams say to get a running start and keep running until you're airborne.
I think I saw some other comments saying to do a jumping motion but I disagree. The pressure plate has triggered and is probably already moving, sending your feet up before you can make a real jumping motion. A super quick delay could mitigate this but I'd rather stick to a running motion.
With the running motion you're basically always pushing off the plate when launching.
One thing all my teachers have seen with air rams when using two feet to jump or lock knees is that they can't propel themselves upwards when the air ram starts swinging forwards, so people end up diving straight into the ground.
How do you even land a job as a stunt man? That sounds either super cool or super sketchy.
What a banger of a video!!! I loved it! So cool 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Alec!!
Woah ur here
Real recognize real
Haha, literally
the video was a BANGER..? stop being inappropriate and grow up
This is so much fun. That last scene was just perfect. Goes to show you that it doesn't matter how good of an actor you are if you're genuinely enjoying what you're doing it comes through to the audience it's still incredibly entertaining.
Everyone who was a kid and loved the A-Team and McGyver is very pleased to watch these kind of videos!
“Look at you. Sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp.” Man, I just learned that the jump plates from Portal exist in real life and I am so happy. Great video!
yeah, surprised more people aren't talking about how this is literally the aerial faith plates
@@vibaj16 they've been around for a long time
I'm so glad that someone on the internet shares my intense love of The A Team!
I love it when a plan comes together.
Actually, learning there is more than one A-Team fan makes me a little nervous.
I PITY THA FOOL !.......
There are dozens of us!
The great thing about the internet is because billions of people are on it, there's someone on the internet that shares your intense love of anything. A N Y T H I N G
this channel should have at least a million subscribers, you are doing a great job. hats off to you. Greetings from Jakarta Indonesia
Just found this channel by recommendation from CZcams. Instant sub.
I absolutely loved myth busters and was devastated when it was cancelled. So so glad to see so many amazing youths carrying the torch and producing amazing science/engineering content for the next generation who missed out on myth busters.
Thanks for some awesome content. Can't wait to binge the rest of your channel. :)
LOVE these practical effects projects dude, this one was insanely sick. Had no idea I’d be into air rams, and now even I wanna build one 😂 or at least borrow yours
Hi Louis
@@Shiny_Mew151 hii
Love your videos!
I love how instead of saying "Don't try this at home", you give us a step by step how to video, but in the safest way possible 🤣 I love it. 10/10
Just to be clear, this was very unsafe, and should not be emulated.
@@InspiredChaos of course
Safest? Like in: I took bigger actuators than the professionals. or I loved the muzzle flash instead of digital effects. Just stay aware that you can make it safer, but you won't make it safest.
@Stephen Whittam translation: don't try this at home.... tho, if my math checks out, that is, 1 has the resources, money, & enough engineering salt to interpret his journey, well, the only thing keeping you on the ground is you (and that's OK. We can hang. )!
no u dont
This was awesome. When a bunch of other super successful CZcamsrs mob in the comment section, you know you're doing something right.
"Danger to Manifold" on the gauge got you a sub. Awesome work.
thats already a contender for video for the year for me holy damn
It got: Engineering, Doing your own stunts and learning a new skill, special effects and film-making. What an absolutely incredible contribution to CZcams.
didn't expect to see you here maybe you can do a collab and tapstrafe off of one other these things
off of one of these
sorry typo
Mokey???
Movement tech moving into IRL I see
And it is a family project! Love that, too
These are the kinds of sponsorships I fully support. Hyper relevant, clearly useful, the CZcamsr OBVIOUSLY uses the product... This is how it's done!
As a former film student and special effects aficionado, this is the best!
the first "launch" was absolutely hilarious...well done on the whole project!!!
The comic effect of a underwhelming first attempt can never be underestimated. Pure Gold.
I don't get how you don't have more subs yet. This is awesome content!
I'm sure the once a year uploads are a contributing factor
@@dumptruckintruthduke you mean, the youtube algorithm, right?
Honestly it's a mix of things his upload schedule, thumbnails/ titles aren't super clicky for the average person, lack of colabs, lack of sponsorship. I'm sure if he partnered with a good person to manage the CZcams side he could explode.
I thought same!
He will get there! It takes some time until the algorithm goes through the roof. For some, it takes years to reach 100k, but from then on, it goes straight up, because the algorithm has picked them.
WAY COOL!!!.... you're definitely a CZcams hero!!!

Grenade : ...........
thisDude : "ghyYaaH"
As a civil engineer who loves mechanical engineering, how has youtube never recommended you before? Excellent build, explanations, editing, and creativity!
Check out the back catalogue of videos, he has done some crackers in the past 👍 hopefully this video is the one that really launches the channel as Tyler has deserved a huge following for a long time and also I hope it helps him afford the slow motion camera he has longed for 🤞
Duuuude! This was an epic video. So much effort you put into this one, it really shows. I loved your guy's reactions to the initial tests, I would definitely be scared to step on that thing for the first time.
Can't wait to see the next video.
Thanks Miles!
19:09 bro rlly just said that was spectacular 💀
💀💀💀
that last scene was pretty cool
If this isn’t a perfect CZcams video than I don’t know if one can exist.
It have great comedy, story telling. Videography. And topic
Click bait, 19 minutes too long, nothing cool really happening. That's the 20s CZcams in a nut shell. I hated this. I would 3x the PSI first tyy and make it in to a 25 sec vid
Turn these into shoes. Gravity defying shoes. Would be one hell of a vid.
Now I really want you to get in touch with the corridor guys, I'm sure they'd love to see and try this! Plus, Gui, Aaron, or one of the other guests could show them (and maybe you) how to use it even more effectively!
This man will have a million subs by the end of the year. Im calling it now.
this was amazing. im so glad i found your channel.
This is the first time I seen this channel and I'm surprised at the subscriber level, I figured it would be north of a million with the level of professionalism and complexity of the project. This channel will get there fairly fast.
The first manned jump had me in tears. Although comical, its exactly how everyone would have been on the first test. Thank you so much.
it's*
Midway through he was landing decent dive rolls on the pads, and his last stunt was decent looking. Keep in mind he's an engineer and not a wide receiver.
You gained me as a subscriber the second you said LS swap
Blown away yet again Tyler! Great job! My knees hurt just watching lol
You always make messing around seem so professional and buttoned up. Your literally one of the only channels I set the notifications on for. Always look forward to what is next. Also corridor crew stunt man reacts is sooo good. I wish I had disposable income to mess around the way you mess around. 😂 Your channel is TV quality every time. I hope you never stop putting out videos.
One of your coolest videos! I know you must have put more work into this than the video leads people to believe. Great work Tyler 👊🏼
Thanks man!!
the "yeah" killed me at the end but that was amazing!
First time watching your videos, thanks for entertaining me. Love your stunt scene, am also an A-Team fan of old.
Watching this felt like I was watching a NileRed video, but instead of making a chemical using Chemistry and magic, it was making an action video using various props that you built (and explained) with some movie magic. Super nice video! I love it! How do you only have 100k subscribers??
This is the first time I've been recommended one of your videos - and I gotta say, I loved the pacing of the editing, you have an amazing personality that oozed with excitement for this project. Not to mention you did so with a great amount of respect for the stunt actors that do this professionally. You absolutely tackled this amazingly. I'm so happy you got such an amazing shot out of both the 80's and action scenes you did - not to mention I learned something about how they film those sorta scenes along the way!
Great stuff, thanks for creating great content!
the way he says spectacular like a lil kid seeing something cool for the first time warms my heart lol
My first @TylerBellMakes video... the quality and production is amazing. Loads of fun too. How have I not seen you before? On par with Colin Furze, Hacksmith, I Did A Thing, Stuff Built Here... all my faves!
Thanks, CZcams algorithm - actually working since 2023!
16:55 I got that reference. Isn't it strange when a youtuber is a better film armorer than a "hollywood" one ?
Made it less than a minute before subscribing, can't wait to binge this channel!
This is crazy bonkers! Are you kidding me?! ❤❤❤
I'm glad you talked about your safety protocol with your prop guns. it sounds like you went with the industry standard for the most part, but i'm curious if you probed the prop gun for obstructions before each take? Scott Prop and Roll on youtube has a fantastic breakdown of the safety protocol his sets use, and probing the barrel for obstructions is a key part of it (an obstruction is what killed Brandon Lee). Even a little piece of debris getting stuck in the barrel during a take could be dangerous
Dude, your videos are so freaking good. Better than some large budget CZcamsrs with millions of subs. You consistently deliver some of the best content on this platform, keep it up and this channel will blow up.
That first launch was epic!
A great action hero and a maker! Cool to see a project not only showing skill to design and assemble a tool, but also training effort to become proficient with it.
The amount of effort and skill that went into this considering it’s a “small” channel is pretty incredible, gained my sub
@15:08 The A-Team, I LOVE IT SO FU**ING MUCH!!!!😄😄😄
Yes. You earned the title of action hero in my book.
Epic video, mad respect for keeping the art of practical effects alive. So many people could do this same scene by spending 2 days on their computer, but there is something much more special and real when you know the stunts were done practically!
Fabrication, engineering, stuntman shenanigans, and fight choreography. Such a great combo of stuff all in one video. 👏
I rarely find videos that i actually enjoy. This one here was veeery enjoyable, just subbed!
👏👏😀 Watching those early test/crash mat fails might well be the best day your brother will ever have at work! 😂 Excellent video 👍
10:00 best first test ever.
This looks like 10x better than the CGI they use today. Amazing! The lighting on the dust and how your body move through the air look so much cooler.
That first attempt at human trials earned a sub. That was great
My new favorite channel - I love that you've got all the skills to design and execute a project like this!
I love that he talked so much about special effects, without realizing he is becoming a master of "practical effects".
Arguably way better and way harder to do them well. Great job 😅
Air ram, dust paint balls, air mortar, fake punches, fake human throw, fake grenade, blanks fired from a gun. NONE of that was added in post production, that's all practical effects baby!!!
He is referring to Special effects because they are all in camera aka “practical”. I think your looking for the term vfx or more specifically cgi?
@@joeyshouse6405 nah, just complimenting his practical affects work. Technically, practical effects are referred to as a "mechanical special effect" but they differ from all other types of SFX and are rarely referred to as special effects.
0:26 Dani would be proud
Wishlist kalrson 🔫😐
Hey that's pretty cool, DANI!!! ARE YOU THERE
This video just reinforces the fact that this is one of my favorite channels on the entire CZcams. It is so incredibly entertaining and I have mad respect for the amount of work that went into this video.
This video is epic to watch cuz of your child like joy and relatable humor. It feels like you’re genuine in front of a camera.
That first successful launch though! Sooo good! Thanks for the shout-out for the manikin too. Adding 'testing air rams' to our list of things our manikins can be used for 😆
Can't wait to launch it through the roof of a car!!
You have a dope truck man! Also, it's awesome to see some.of the bigger Channels like Hack smith and Jerry Rig Everything to show ya some love!
That was Spectacular! Keep the content coming, it's very entertaining!
I as a view like the fact you kept the cut scenes and behind the scenes in the final cut. This aspect keeps it real and shows the humour and excitement behind the camera. By the end of this video I was wanting to do something similar. Looks like good fun.
You know it has to be a great video when there are so many huge CZcamsrs commenting. Well done TB!!
I love watching your channel grow. I remember when you had a few thousand subs and I was like “why hasn’t he blown up yet??”
I can feel it, it’s starting, it’s coming!
What a video Tyler! What a project!
LOVED it! Bravo my friend...excellent content. Looks like so much fun!
This is completely awesome!!! Glad I found your channel.
You’ve definitely earned the title of Action Hero in my books! So glad the YT algorithm recommended this video to me. You’ve gained a new subscriber. Best wishes and stay safe.
Your brother's reaction at the first failed launch was hilarious.
The Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate, commonly referred to as Faith Plates or launchpads, is a mechanism introduced in Portal 2. This device launches players over a gap or to a specific destination at a set velocity and height. It can be used in conjunction with portals, and the Plate's ability to preserve the velocity of the user makes it an effective means of travel to far or otherwise inaccessible places.
Good job!! You just fulfilled the real meaning of YOUTube! I'm fairly impressed!
You definitely earned it bro. This is the first video I've seen of yours so I have to admit at first I was questioning your abilities but you totally proved me wrong and you got a new subscriber 🤘🏻
14:50 i want to see you dunk using that thing, put that as a goal too
Just found your youtube channel with this video, I absolutely love the content! Especially the fact that you're clearly having so much fun with everything you do here!
Whenever he uploads i get an relief that he is alive 😁
You've done what every action-hero-kid in us wanted to do. Kudos
How have I managed to be living my life without knowing this channel exists... This was awesome!
I got recommended this video early, I knew it'd blow up, and now I wish I'd left a witty comment
Easy choice to sub! This video was recommended to me, and I tip my hat to CZcams for that. Keep up the killer work man.
That was amazing! I think you have a great talent and will go very far in film making! This is coming from someone who has worked in the industry for almost 30 years (not any kind of big-wig or anything, just a career gaffer, grip and fx guy) and I don’t dispense this kind of complement lightly! So as we say in the industry “break a leg” (just not literally!)
This kind of engineering and creativity is everything I want to see in a video. Way to go you have definitely earned the title of action hero!

This guy needs more subscribers. Amazing video. Amazing engineer.
Well Tyler if you keep putting out videos like this, I have a feeling 2023 going to be a great year for you on CZcams 💯💯💯
This is probably one of the coolest channels I’ve ever come across. Tyler did a really good job of explaining everything and making the video entertaining. New subscriber here for sure.
